Topic: Kamen at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

In a moment of Olympic nostalgia, I went digging through some old footage of Winter Olympics, and I recall the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games being a particular highlight.As I recall, not only was John Williams assigned compositional duties with the new Winter Games anthem, but Michael Kamen, who was then in attendance at the open ceremonies, was conductor of the orchestra, and wrote an original piece, upon which Queen's Brian May was a soloist. The title of it escapes me.
I recall being very eager to find this piece at the time, and was unsucessful in tracking it down. Now I am wondering if anyone here knows of a place to find it? Thanks for your help.

I don't remember what the piece was called either, but perhaps you'll get a response here:

It's called On Wings of Victory. It was released as a CD single in Japan - I bought a copy from Ark Square. Top stuff.
