Answer 1

When I was going to get married, I was going to walk down the aisle to Vangelis’ music. He was always able to lift my spirits with his music. It was mesmerizing, comforting, and still found something new in his music everytime I heard a piece again.

Answer 2

I LOVED the Chariots of Fire Theme music and the COSMOS music as well.

RIP Vangelis!!
