Commercial Breaks & Beats

Afternoon All,

I know this isn't technically an advert, but hoping with the vast expertise on here, someone will be able to help.

During the Rugby World Cup there is a piece of music played when the teams line up in the tunnel and then come on to the field. It's quite cinematic in nature and similar to the epic themes of 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' or 'Last of the Mohicans'.

I don't have a link I'm afraid as being the RWC, everything is restricted within an inch of it's life by rights and is 100% Mac unfriendly!!!!!

Any help on this would be enormously appreciated.

The only piece of music I know that is synonymous with the Rugby World cup, is 'World in Union'

I heard a version on the radio this morning that was slower and more epic sounding than usual. But, this may not be what you heard.

I'll make a point of listening out for it during the next game. Is it used for all games?

It's not the World in Union I'm afraid, and neither is it on the Official Album which goes with the RWC.

It is indeed played at the beginning of every match as the teams are usually lining up. Which, if the kick off is on the hour and ITV hasn't screwed up again will be at about xx:52.

Any help would be tremendous.

Many thanks

I've found it!

For anyone else that had this stuck in their head it's called Industrial Revoultion: Part 2 by Jean-Michele Jarre from an Album called "The Symphonic" with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
