Does anyone recognize the music from this commercial? Here is the link to the commercial.

The link is dead - can you find a new one?

I think the one they are using now is Zadok the Priest...

Just a guess.

Correct, the coronation anthem by Handel. What on earth that has to do with the commercial is beyond me; I assume they thought the TV viewers wouldn't be able to understand the words anyway, or like sensible people would put the mute button on during the ads.

I couldn't check that link but there is a "re-composition" or close arrangement of Zadok the Priest for commercials of the European soccer "champions league". It's fairly disgusting...
