I don't know who is the composer, but its a classical song, I've heard for years as sports team take the field or court. It's really dramatic, almost gives you a chill. I know its hard to translate this across with text, but the main part of it sounds like (my best orchestra texting): Bom-Bom-Bah-Bom. Anyone want to take a stab at this one?

    The song I'm looking for has that same slow build up part at the beginning. I think I've heard the song in some Movie previews as well.

    Could be this? One of the most overused pieces of music ever (although it's still amazing).

    Could it be Strauss's 'Also Sprach Zarathusa'? (also used in 'Space Odyssey')

    The beginning of the 5th was morse code for the letter 'V' for victory. If you listen to the first 4 notes: - ba ba ba baaaa (morse code ...-) the letter V. Thought I'd let you know.
