    Seems it's been blocked?

    Is it Mendelssohn on the piano? If so, look for his songs without words for the solo piano, especially the one in Eb Major.

    Does anybody know the Mendelssohn piece that's played in the music shop [in "Once"]?

    I think it was from Songs without Words - specifically Op. 30, #6.

    From http://www.pianoworld.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Forum/37/topic/001213/Number/0/site_id/1#import

    OK so I finally have a clip of this instrumental, I know someone can help!
    It's starts from 1.05 to 2.05 approx! I would love to get a title for this beautiful track that I hear everywhere but don't know frown.gif

    Thanks in advance if someone can help *excitement*

    (I'm aware that the piece is not 'classical' but I guess this is the most appropriate place to post)

    It does sound very Philip Glassish...
    Have you tried emailing RTE and asking them?

    Yeah, minimalistic-ish but I can't figure it out myself either. It could easily have been a quick little thing written specifically for it. Or for something similar that RTÉ bought the rights to.

    Nice work, jill_valentine. And to yourself for being so dogged in your pursuit! I would've written it off long ago.

    It's from Rimsky-Korsakov's suite Scheherezade, first movement. The clip starts around 7:35 in this video:

    Hello all. A well-known piece has been going round in my head for a while that I know nothing about other than the melody and that I *think* it is a horn solo. I have transcribed the melody very roughly as follows: (the small g is above middle C, the capital G below)

    GCCCCCCBDFgFD
    CCCCCCDhggg
    GCCCCCCBDFgFD
    EgCDCDECCC

    Search for "Flash keyboard" and bash it in to get some idea of what I'm trying to get at. Thanks in advance!

    I've heard this around the place in a few things so I reckon it's fairly well known, but I don't know what it's called. Anyone?

    From 1:02

    Great piece! The clip has bits of both the first and the last movements of Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony (the 'Italian').

    Here's a recording by Leonard Bernstein with the New York Phil

    First movement:

    Last movement:

    This may be an obvious one (and I hope it is!) but what is that piece of music Lyric FM use as their signature of theme tune - its by Handel (I think) and the full piece is sung by a female soprano. Google throws up nothing, only an advert they ran - and nobody knows what piece that is either (and Lyric aren't saying).

    Hi folks! This is a long shot but can anyone tell me what is the name of the classical music piece from the new Harvey Norman ad on the radio?
    Ray Houghton is on the ad (I think they're giving away Ireland jerseys with TVs or something!).

    Its a tense dramatic score, similar to Requiem for a Tower from Lord of the Rings but not quite the same.

    Thanks in advance!

    PS - Its probably the only Harvey Norman ad that doesn't make you want to break your throw your car radio out the window. I detest that "Go Harvey Go!" bulls*t!

    Ok this is long shot but can anyone tell me what piece of music was used near the end of a documetary about Franco Zeferilli that was Sky Arts channel this morning Sat 28th of April. its from an opera, slowish and it would be definitely recognisable and not just to people who are familiar with the opera ,its not singing just humming, really uplifting. Im pretty sure its been used in ad or two and could have been playing on one of those sky sports ads. I googled his work and some of the operas he managed during the 80's and 90's included Tosca, Turandot and La Boheme so maybe one of them? its definitely famous just wrecking my head all morning trying to figure out what it is :confused:
