Anyone wanna play a game? Dadada Dahhhhh

    Following on from the 'help me with finding a piece I heard' thread I was wondering if anyone would like to play a 'name that tune' game. I know some of the regulars here are quite good at figuring out the dedadada da da da dedede stuff

    Rules can be altered as we go..
    Basically winner posts the next one...

    Dadadaaaas are fine.
    Split second samples of the original are fine.
    Backward stuff is fine too for the devil worshippers (multi denominational thread here!).
    Play in your own obscure rendition...
    Maybe allow wierd remixes/versions from youtube or soundcloud or whatever.
    keep it to anything after 17th century.

    Allow the 'performer' at least 24 hrs to respond or else just start a new one to keep it going.
    If 2 people are in agreement as to what it is and the 'performer' is unavailable then fire away.


    So just to kick it off Ill go ...

    Da da da dahhhhhhhh

    Now you're messing.

    It was (hopefully) a close approximation of

    Rondo Alla Turca

    YA I was doing the F#minor running semiquaver parts.

    Wierd though... don;t know what mozart's concept of turkish music was to be coming out with this!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭evolving_doors


    Anyhow here's the next one (it's slow tempo! and just the bare melody without triplet accompaniment intro)

    Da........ Da-da....... Da-da ......... dadadada da da...
    Da.... da .....da .....da ........dededede da da

    I'm confused, Ted!

    But is that some Hungarian funeral march played on the organ? (I may be mixing my musical metaphors/titles here, but I can hear the melody I think it is, just can't for the life of me think of the name of it - and I used to play it on the piano years ago!)

    Hmm it'd be more of the love song flavour than the funeral march side of things.

    Womans name often attributed to it (Defo not the composers idea..:pac:)

    EDIT: Although the poignancy of the subject (of which the woman's name is associated with it), would lend itself to her passing I suppose!..

    Yes... the stage is yours dlouth15


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭dlouth15


    Mainly the name clue that did it for me.

    OK:
    da da dah, da da dah, da da dah di.
    da da dah, da da dah, da da doh doh...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    If there were one more "duh" then it would correspond with WAM's 40th.

    A suggestion: use a capital to indicate accent. Thus Beethoven's fifth could be: Da da da Dahhhhhhhh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    Just noticed Armelodie used appropriate capital in the title - just not in the text.

    Correct it was the 40th. I've added in the second doh! Over to you...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    OK, an easy aria: Dah dah Dada, di Dah dah Dah...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    Having listened to a performance of my recent attempt at dah dahs I can only describe my effort as shoddy. My apologies. Here is, what I hope is, a better effort:

    dah dah Dadada, dah dah Dah...

    Slow on the uptake... post deleted

    Apart from that I havn;t a bulls notion of the aria


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    Think tango.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭evolving_doors


    bizet's aria from carmen!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭garancafan


    Bingo! "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle..." known universally as the habanera.
    Your move.

    Think I have it but I'll keep my powder dry for the moment rather than turn the thread into a game of singles tennis.

    Note that, although the notification of Armelodie's post includes the phrase "piano piece" this does not appear in the actual post.
