The official anthem of the Olympic Games, composed by John Williams for the Winter Sports Festival held in Salt Lake City in 2002, may surprise many. A chill will run down your spine when listening to the central theme from the film Schindler's List, and the true atmosphere of advent will be conjured by the fairy-tale melody from the movie Home Alone.
