[89th]

Ah yes very cool! Get ready to spend an hour on something as this reminds me of two videos worth watching.

The first analyzes John Williams' score for the Olympics (and how it was inspired/stolen from previous "Charge" battle and bugle calls.

The 2nd and 3rd is back to First Man and how the docking scene "waltz" was inspired by 2001 Space Odyssey / Blue Danube. It's the only track in the First Man soundtrack that deviates from the theme to provide a completely separate sound during the movie, very effectively too as it starts around the 1:20 mark to provide relief "space dancing" right after a tense and bumpy launch sequence and search for the Agena to dock. Also fun fact, in the control room is Neil Armstrong's actual son playing one of the NASA engineers.
