Music by Victor le Masne from the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony
I’m suffering from post Paris 2024 Olympics blues. I spent the past couple of weeks watching swimming, gymnastics and athletics and it felt good to watch (mostly) wholesome television and switch off from the mostly depressing world news.
I wrote about the opening, and I plan to write a post about the stand out wholesome moments and also the not so wholesome moments from the Olympics, but for now, I found out 5 tracks from the opening ceremony composed by Victor le Maine uploaded on YouTube (thank you dridri) that I would like to share with you.
Synchronicité
Sororité (Marseillaise variation)
Solidarité
Éternité
Solennité (Tour Eiffel lights up music)
I can’t stop listening to Synchronicité and Éternité .
I really hope the complete opening ceremony soundtrack will be available to buy soon.
