According to ISU info, Canadian ice dancers, Dubreuil & Lauzon used excerpts entirely from Goldenthal's score for this free dance entitled "Victorius Titus" (their other free dance that year used a new arrangement of Puccini's "Madame Butterfly"). So while the change in feel/tempo at the 3-minute mark may seem to be from another source/composer, it appears that it was simply from another section of the score.
As a former skater, I can tell you that sometimes coaches can make some odd music editing choices. It's sometimes due to the requirement that there be a certain number of tempo/feel changes included within the framework of the performance. It can sometimes make for "jumpy" or jarring cuts, and often, seemingly disconnected pieces of music get dumped into the cauldron. Fortunately, the trend seems to be to put more compatible pieces together and stitch up three- to four-minute routines that make musical, as well as physically artistic sense.
