I'm after the 2 pieces of music in this clip, and more importantly either a clean copy itself or the artists and titles of the music.

MP3 (big file size)
WMA (smaller file size, quicker download)

If anyone could point me in the right direction or offer files themselves, then I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the sceond track, but the first one is "Nadia's Theme" from the US show "Young and the Restless". Unfortunately I don't have a copy . . . . but here's some info from http://www.retrocrush.com/tvthemes/1-25.html

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
COMPOSED BY BARRY De VORZON and PERRY BOTKIN, JR (1971/1973)
This story behind the life of this theme song is as twisted and dramatic as the show it introduces. The song, which came to be known as "Nadia's Theme" (more on that later) was first used on a little seen 1971 film called Bless The Beasts and Children, and was originally called "Cotton's Dream". 2 years later, it was used as the theme to The Young and The Restless soap opera and was scored by Perry Botkin, Jr. but the original composer credit to Barry DeVorzon was conveniently left off. But it was it's use as the dramatic accompaniment music in the 1976 Olympics for gymnast Nadia Comaneci that made it more popular than ever. So the song, which is commonly known as "Nadia's Theme" has quite a past. When it was uber-popularized in 76, the song became a huge hit. According to the IMDB, when the song was released as a single, they failed to credit Barry De Vorzon, which resulted in a nice $241,000 settlement. De Vorzon's SWAT is also on our list (#41). Co-composer Perry Botkin, Jr. is also famous for composing the themes to Mork & Mindy, The ABC Sunday Night Movie, as well as the film scores for the epic film classics Silent Night Deadly Night, and Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2. Sadly, ABC has ditched the theme altogether now (well, it'd be sad if I actually watched the damn thing).

Thank you Sky Networks for the useful piece of information.

I've had a look everywhere for a copy of this music and all I seem to find are covers, covers and more covers. Do you or anyone else know what version is used in the clip? Is it the original?

First one's actually used every Sunday on Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs.

And so it is. But is it the original, specially written for SWLS or something else?

Hi - if you're still after Nadia's Theme, I now have a good quality MP3 of what I think is the original. PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy.
