No doubt about it, it was the hit of the summer. For the moment, it’s an unattainable title. But “Parade”, the name of the anthem composed by Victor Le Masne, could soon be on the market.
Thierry Reboul, Director of Ceremonies for the Paris Olympic Games, said on Sunday that he was “confident” that the original music for the Games, composed by Victor Le Masne, would be available in stores and on platforms.
Musician, producer and arranger, Victor Le Masne is notably the author of the Olympic anthem, “Parade”, a blend of pop, symphony orchestra, choirs and electro loops typical of the French Touch, heard notably at the opening ceremony on July 26. “Given the success of this ceremony, there’s a real desire to be able to relive it,” Thierry Reboul told the press, standing next to the composer, who will be back at work for the opening of the Paralympic Games on Wednesday.
As for the release of Victor Le Masne’s original music, “we’re pretty confident that we’ll be able to do it”, he said. On the other hand, “the ability to bring out the sung part, from different artists, is more complicated, but we’re on it”.
Real Olympic effect for artists
The opening ceremony included covers of French songs by Lady Gaga, Aya Nakamura and Céline Dion for “L’hymne à l’amour”. According to Thierry Reboul, “the legal status of music is not always straightforward, and neither is that of the IOC (International Olympic Committee, editor’s note), which unfortunately takes a little time”.
In the meantime, listening to the original tracks covered by the artists on July 26 has soared on listening platforms. The next day, Edith Piaf’s “L’hymne à l’amour” soared to +426% for France and +497% worldwide on Spotify, the world’s leading music platform.

oh yes plz !
The part available on youtube is on my running playlist now, it always give me a boost and a huge smile when i hear it !
Gave me goosebumps during medal ceremony and hearing it today hits me with nostalgia 🙁
Very excited for them to make this available, as well as Axelle Saint Cirel’s rendition of the Marseillaise.
From the moment I first heard it when the flame arrived in my beloved Marseille in May, I have had goosebumps whenever I hear it.
