2008 summer olympics opening ceremony
in 1932, richard strauss was approached by dr. theodor lewald, the german olympic committee's representative to the international olympic committee (ioc). the german committee desired an anthem composed for the 1936 summer olympics to be held in berlin. early in 1933, strauss agreed to compose an olympic hymn, with the condition that a suitable text be found to set to music. however, in 1933, the ioc had chosen walter bradley-keeler's "hymne olympique", written for the 1932 los angeles olympics, as the official olympic anthem for all time. the ioc however accepted lewald's proposal to allow germany its own olympic anthem for the berlin games.
