Vaguest question of the day

    Hi all,

    I have a very vague question but I know someone here will know.

    Does anyone know the song/artist of the following:

    I was dozing on a Sat morning and think it was radio 1 (RTE)
    I heard on a Saturday morning pre 11:00am
    It is classical music and involves only horns, no string or percussion.
    It has a regal feel to it and you would expect it to be played in a large hall to announce the arrival of a royal or similar.
    I think it the intro music to a particular show but am unsure as I never listen to radio one and was flicking around at the time.

    Any help appreciated
    Sorry I know it's vague but I've given as much detail as I could remember as I was half asleep when I heard it.

    It wasn't the news (that sounds like planet of the apes) buy it could be marion finucane.
    I don't usually listen to or watch any rte but if you could tell me the name of her theme tune I can check it out.

    Sounds like you might be thinking of Sunday Miscellany which is broadcast at 9am on Sunday mornings. Horn intro which does indeed sound a bit regal.

    You could try listening to the podcast or turning on the radio tomorrow. Email RTE and I'm sure they'd advise you of the piece of music.

    http://dynamic.rte.ie/quickaxs/209-rte-sundaymiscellany-2009-08-30.smil has the intro on it if you've RealPlayer and want to check if thats it. You need to skip over the news, newspaper reviews, a preview of "this week" and some ads to get to it, its at 10:30 or so

    Hello,
    Long time lurker, first time poster. I actually know this one. The tune used for a long time as intro to Sunday Miscellany is called 'Galliard Battaglia' by a German baroque composer who gloried in the name of Samuel Scheidt, pronounced "s***e" by the Lyric FM people I seem to remember. Maybe Marty might play it after Tony Bennett some day.
