The music in question is based on the piece "Hymne" off of Vangelis' album
"Opera Sauvage". The key words in that sentence are 'based on'. Vangelis'
version is nice and twangy and electronic. Unless you like your classical
music nice and twangy and electronic, you'll probably be disappointed.
Vangelis' music is nice, but not nearly as beautiful as the commercial. (The
Gallo commercials are the few commercials I look forward to seeing.)
