What the name of the orchestra/opera type song you hear all the time?

Question

I need the name of the really upbeat orchestra/opera type song you hear at the end of so many sports mixes right before a game starts on TV. I can kind of hum it but I have no idea the name.

Dont make fun :-) but its like

CRASH da-da da-da .. CRASH da-da da-da. CRASH da da da daaaaa daaaaa daaaa... then up an octave.. CRASH da-da da-da.. CRASH da-da da-da ....

its always right before a game might be starting, the announcers are saying " its a clash between 2 teams, the warriors must make stand blah blah blah" and this music is pumping in the background. Praying someone knows.

Answer 1

It is (as usual) "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

Answer 2

I don't think so this time, Malcolm. Though I was right with you until I read the details. I have no inkling of what it could be; the description isn't far off from Mendelssohn's Wedding March from Midsummer Night's Dream. I'm pretty sure that isn't it. Could be some sort of fanfare.



... Lllllllllllet's get ready to rrrrrummmblllllle!

Answer 3

The piece might not be a traditional piece. As in it may not be something from the old compossers(Mozart, Scarlatti) try looking into modern composers, YouTube might have some info for you.
