funky penguin

delta_bravo

Can anyone help me with this one? I know its well known as I have heard it many times. I thought it was Verdi or Puccini but cant find the name for it

mambo

That's "Ebben ne andro lontana," from Catalini's opera "La Wally". (Pronounced, I think, "La vall-EE")

I was listening to Lyric FM earlier and there was a very menacing Viola concerto on. I couldn't hear very well who was the composer but it sounded something like Schwipmen or Schnipken and it was being performed by a Mr. Zimmerman and the southwest german orchestra or something like that.

Maybe someone here was listening too and can point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Just look at the Lyric fm web page and you find this:

The Lyric Concert
Tabea Zimmermann (viola), SWR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thierry Fischer. Shostakovich: Ballet Suite No 1. Schnittke: Viola Concerto. Schumann: Symphony No 4 in D minor.

And that's Ms Zimmermann to you! :P

Hi everyone.

Just wondering if you could identify a small piece on this recording from about 0.40 to 4.15?

http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/player_av.html?0,null,200,http://dynamic.rte.ie/quickaxs/209-lyrc-thelyricconcert-Friday.smil

It's from Lyric FM's The Lyric Concert, Friday 20th August at 8pm. The playlist on the website is a bit vague and I'm not sure this piece is listed or not...
Friday August 20th
Recorded live at the National Concert Hall on Friday April 23rd
RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra
Anne-Marie Gibbons (mezzo soprano)
Gerhard Markson (conductor)
Mendelssohn: Overture from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Berlioz: Les Nuits d'Été
Schubert: Symphony No.9 'Great'

Since it's right at the start is it Mendelssohn?
It puts me in mind of a war film I've seen, what with the drums etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It is certainly none of the pieces listed in the programme. The concert featuring those works does not begin until about 30 minutes into the media player clip. Before that is a sequence of recordings from whatever programme was broadcast before the concert. If you can find that on the Lyric web site there might be a playlist of the programme.

The piece sounds like it comes from a movie soundtrack, but none that I am familiar with, sorry.

mambo

The previous show on Fridays is "Movies & Musicals". That sounds like "Hymn to the Fallen" from Saving Private Ryan.

could anyone tell me the name(if it is a piece) of the little piano song that is played in the video in the bottom right corner of the link. http://www.tg4.ie/bearla/clar/1916/index.asp
its used on the ad for the tg4 series Seachtar na Cásca.

This has being driving me bonkers for so long, I've actually being trying to find this piece of music for years.
It starts of with a piano with falling chords d# c g would be an idea of how it sounds(obviously wouldn't be the correct notes!) and then violin interludes with long rising and falling chords. It's used in documentaries or RL stories, at poignant moments...

I know this is totally vague, and it sounds like classical music but I'm pretty sure it's a contemporary piece. Thanks!!

Hello there. A very long shot here, but "at poignant moments" makes me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtFPdBUl7XQ How would your piece compare to this?

Not it! Although that is a beautiful piece. I apologise again for the vagueness of my description, but it would be at quite a fast tempo than the piece above, and maybe like a 6/8, it's also in a minor key!
Thanks anyway

This famous piece ?

This is just a snippet. The full version is over 22 minutes long. I've had this on a cassette since 1989, and I still don't know who recorded it. I'd love to know. Anyone?

I'd go for the other Arvo Part piece beloved of documentary makers: Fratres. It's often played in the violin & piano arrangement, is in a minor key, and has a faster feel than Intothesea's suggestion of Spiegel im Spiegel. I couldn't guess at what the time signature might be, though some of the violin variations have triplet passages that could sound a bit 6/8-ish.

They're ALWAYS using bits of this in documentaries.

(played here by the Ulster orch..... cool!)

Also loads of documentaries use other Philip Glass. He was one of the first composers I liked because I heard something of his on Horizon or something like that.

In the first vid, someone told me it was "Il Trovatore" by Verdi - however when i listened to it on youtube I couldn't find it.

Can anyone identify for me the piece that the Lyric FM news jingle is from? I've become mildly obsessed with finding that out lately :P

jmckelly

Can anyone tell me what that piece of music is that is used in the chorus ntl info channel? Its the piece advertising Setanta HD. Its similar to Karmina Buranas O' Fortuna

artful_codger

hi, can anyone help identify a piece of classical music from the intro to an 80's arts or science program on british tv? It's a very fast, dramatic string piece that sounds a lot like Vivaldis Storm, and also quite like the intro to the south bank show.

i'm sure it's quite a popular piece.

thanks

The South Bank Show's theme was by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Paganini Caprice in a Minor No. 24 see this link: http://www.amazon.com/Variations-Lloyd-Webber/dp/B000002PBV

Hope this is of help

unfortunately

Could anyone please identify the background piece that starts circa 2:30 in this episode of Charlie Brooker's Newswipe;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svLA2Ah4Bc4

I have a feeling that I learned the name and then forgot it, but if you can tell me then I will promise to write it down!

I think it's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary II by Purcell. A version of it was used as the opening titles for Stanley Kubrik's A Clockwork Orange.

unfortunately

Thanks for the name and the trivia!

Does anyone know the name of this?

I think she says it's by Mendelssohn at the end.

Could anyone recommend more like this? I would like to add some classical music to my playlist, but I've no interest in the tidily didly type of classical music, more serious and epic.
