NBC Olympics Trials

[splacid]

What is the classical piece NBC is using for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials these past weekends? It is not the "Olympic Fanfare" theme, the horns and trumpets in this piece are much more uptempo than the standard fanfare. (NBC will be airing another trial tonight, Sunday 7/18, at 7:00 PM Eastern.) Any help would be appreciated!

Occasionally NBC updates their website with music information -- you might want to watch this page or contact them for more information.

"Summon the Heros" By John Williams

I bought a CD full of olympic music during the 1996 olympics. The CD is call "Summon The Heros" performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra. There are tons of AWESOME songs.
