Vang Papathanasioy για est
Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Greek:
Ευάγγελος Οδυσσέας Παπαθανασίου born 29
March 1943) is a Greek composer of electronic,
progressive, ambient, jazz, pop rock, and orchestral
music under the artist name Vangelis. He is best
known for his Academy Award-winning score for
the film Chariots of Fire, composing scores for the
films Antarctica, Blade Runner, 1492: Conquest of
Paradise and Alexander, and the use of his music in
the PBS documentary Cosmos: A Personal Voyage
by Carl Sagan.
Vangelis formed a musical partnership with Jon
Anderson, the lead singer of progressive rock band
Yes, and the duo went on to release several
albums together as Jon & Vangelis. In 1981, he
composed the score for the Oscar-winning film
Chariots of Fire, which won him the Academy
Award for Best Original Music Score. The
soundtrack's single, "Titles", also reached the top
of the American Billboard Hot 100 chart and was
used as the background music at the London 2012
Olympics winners' medal presentation
ceremonies.
In a career spanning over 50 years, writing and
composing more than 52 albums, Vangelis is
regarded as one of the greatest composers of
electronic music of all time.

Film work:
Chariots of Fire
In 1981, Vangelis wrote the score for the film Chariots of
Fire, set at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The choice of
music was unorthodox as most period films featured
traditional orchestral scores, whereas Vangelis' music was
modern and synthesizer-heavy. The movie won the
Academy Award for Best Picture and Vangelis won the
Academy Award for Best Original Music Score. The
opening theme of the film was released as a single in
1982, topping the American Billboard chart for one week
after climbing steadily for five months.

Olympic Games
In May 2000, Vangelis composed the music as well
as designed and directed the artistic Olympic flag
relay portion of the closing ceremonies of the 2000
Sydney Olympic Games. While no official recording
of Vangelis' composition for the 2000 Sydney
Games exists, the music can be heard
accompanying the presentation of the emblem of
the 2004 Athens Games. His work from Chariots of
Fire was heard during the 2012 Summer Olympics
opening ceremony.
AFI
The American Film Institute nominated Vangelis'
scores for Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire for
their list of the 250 greatest film scores.
