So I was watching Sherlock Holmes at the theater today and before the movie starts , this commercial comes on for the 2010 olympics

This seems to be an extended commercial, but I am only interested in that fiddling music thats starts at 10 seconds ,but hits its cresendo at 46 seconds into the commercial.

[Fiddling music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHDe_VnN3cI)

Im curious if this was adapted from an existing piece or was it composed for the olympics.

I did some searching earlier, but didn’t find it. You might try looking for irish fiddle on YouTube.

I posited the question on the video site, just in case the Youtube poster knows. Or somebody else viewing it, maybe.

It might be Daniel Lapp and his BC Fiddle Orchestra.

Or maybe something by Ashley Maclsaac, since he’s Canadian and all. Both have been affiliated with Olympics related performances. I never heard of this Ashley dude before. His stuff is actually kinda cool after just listening to a couple clips.
