Upvoting for the perfect audio and video combination.

Anyone know where that music originates from?

Crawlius: I was about to say the same. Great score; I don't recognize it.

It sounds like a film score to me -- at first I was thinking 2001 Space Odyssey, but it's not.... something like Fifth Element? John Williams?

At the time, I thought it reminded me of the Outcast soundtrack. I guess that's for good reason. The composer is Lennie Moore, the track is Deus Vult from "Trinity and Beyond" and you can get it at http://www.lenniemoore.com/sounds.html .

William Stromberg and Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
That clip is from Visual Concept Entertainment's documentary Trinity and Beyond, aka The Atomic Bomb Movie. They have also couple other documentaries around same subject.
