'“The Olympics, historically, were always a gathering not just of athletes but of artisans. Music has always been as much a part of the Games as epic poetry and players. The arts have always combined with the physical prowess of athletes to express ourselves as human beings. That's what the Olympics are about."
- Michael Kamen
