Zusammenfassung:The music of the Olympic Games, especially that of their grandiose rituals and ceremonies, can be considered a great study laboratory due to its relevance, selection of contents, production forms, diffusion and also because of its capacity of being a synthesis of mediums, supports and musical tendencies. This research studies the music of the Inaugural Ceremony of London 2012 and has as its purpose determination of its presence from a communicative perspective. It examines it by means of musical analysis and also content revision, studying the music that is listened to and its characteristics, the way it is built up, and its effects and tendencies. Research results show its specific traits and relative positions in the communicative chain, being its persuasive and moving speech determinant for the effectiveness of this ceremony that would not make any sense without music. Music acts as an emotional catalyst and also as a metronome of the dynamism of the show and, finally, it shows its capacity to persuade, to move and to become a symbol of identity, achievements and agreements among cultures. Glazba Olimpijskih igara, osobito ona koja je uključena u njihove sjajne rituale i ceremonije, pretpostavlja postojanje istraživačkog laboratorija za proučavanje njihove važnosti, odabira sadržaja, proizvodnih oblika, rasprostranjenosti, a isto je tako i sinteza glazbenih sredstava i tendencija. Ovo istraživanje proučava glazbu inauguralne ceremonije otvaranja Olimpijskih igara u Londonu 2012. s ciljem spoznavanja prisutnosti glazbe iz komunikacijske perspektive. Proučava glazbeni govor kroz analizu glazbe i sadržaja te prema tome preispituje karakteristike glazbe koju se sluša, način na koji je ona konstruirana, kao i njezine učinke i tendencije. Istraživanje je provedeno putem stručne procjene, proučavanjem glazbenih pokazatelja i sadržaja kroz primjenu statističkih postupaka u evaluaciji. Koristio se 21 glazbeni komad putem 1428 kodova podijeljenih u 13 kategorija, 13 linija kontinuiteta ceremonije i na početni komad prema kojemu je izvedba dobila naziv Isles of Wonder (Otoci čuda), pomoću glazbenih rezova svakih 15 sekundi, dakle korištenjem 11 predložaka s ukupno 768 kodova analiziranih najprije kvantitativno, a kasnije i kvalitativno. Za odgovor na prvo pitanje, što se sluša, korišten je predložak 3.0 te su dobiveni sljedeći rezultati: instrumenti — kordofonski (23%), aerofonski (13%), membranofonski (28%), idiofonski (19%), elektronički (17%); muški glas (21%),
