BBC Olympic Torch promo released

The BBC have released a trail which will run across BBC Television for the Olympic torch relay.

The trail features the specially commissioned music that the BBC will use for the Olympics.  Elbow produced the track, ‘First Steps’, featuring the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, a school choir from Elbow’s old school and the London Community Gospel Choir.
The full track will be released nearer the time of the games and the music will be used for the opening titles of BBC coverage. The trail will also feature as a promotion in a special One Show on 18th May when the torch arrives in the UK.

The BBC has promised extensive coverage of the torch relay as it goes around the UK.
