Bugler's Dream

"Bugler's Dream" is a piece of music most popularly known as the theme for the Olympic Games.
The music is taken from "The Charge Suite" composed by Leo Arnaud, who was commissioned to write the piece by conductor Felix Slatkin for his 1959 album Charge! The third of three segments for the suite (following "Charge" and "Drummer Boys"), "Bugler's Dream" runs approximately seven minutes, only about thirty seconds of which are typically used in association with the Olympics.
Television broadcasts began using the music to accompany their coverage of the games in 1964. John Williams was later commissioned to write original music for the Olympics on several occasions. These themes, and others, were recorded with the Boston Pops for a 1996 album called Summon the Heroes, which includes a new recording of "Bugler's Dream" with a new arrangement by Williams which is most often used for the Olympics.
In celebration of the 2018 Winter Olympics, Sesame Street produced a video of several Olympic athletes singing the song with Elmo and Cookie Monster. The montage includes Chloe Kim, Nathan Chen, David Wise, Gus Kenworthy, and Karen Chen.
