Chariots Of Fire is one of his greatest compositions, and the instrumental theme was made for the movie with the same name.
The theme was written and recorded by Vangelis in 1981 and has a length of 3:32 minutes.
The free Chariots Of Fire piano sheet music was released in March 1981 as an electronic, film score and was released by Polydor records label.
