    		The theme music of the Eurovision Song Contest is the work of Marc-Antoine Charpentier.

    "The prelude to his Te Deum, H. 146, a rondeau, is well-known as the signature tune for the European Broadcasting Union, heard in the opening credits of the Vienna New Year's Concert, the Eurovision Song Contest and other Eurovision events. This theme was also the intro to the Olympiad films of Bud Greenspan."
