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 · 16-12-2010 8:35am

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 · 20-01-2011 12:11am

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

Oh boy, that's a big ask…You wouldn't happen to have any idea of the name of the show?

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

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.

Thanks for the name and the trivia!

desaparecidos · 01-02-2011 11:29pm

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.

funky penguin · 02-02-2011 4:15am

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.

mambo · 02-02-2011 8:43am

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.

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

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.

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!

Thanks for that.

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?

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:

Scumskimmer · 01-02-2012 12:30pm

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).

PFiddy · 13-04-2012 7:46pm

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

mambo · 28-04-2012 5:32pm

Humming, you say?
Perhaps the "Humming Chorus" from Madama Butterfly by Puccini?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFNzUdwIwec

It has been noted that this tune perhaps owes a little inspiration to it (Bring Him Home, from Les Miserables)

The Lyric FM theme is just an original jingle as far as I know, if you're talking about the piece of music they used in an advertising campaign a while back I think it's the aria 'Casta diva' from Bellini's opera 'Norma' that you're looking for. Hope this helps!

ThirdMan · 06-03-2013 12:28am

Hi. This is an impossible task. I'm trying to trace the name of a piece I heard on a BBC documentary about two years ago. The series was called The Impressionists and it was about Monet, Renoir, etc. Considering the name of the series, it's possible the piece was by one of the impressionist composers. But that's just a guess. I know nothing about classical music. In fact, I don't even know how to describe what I heard, except that it was like gentle bells or chimes that were bubbling up and down, and recurring again and again. To my ears it sounded incredibly unique, and it featured multiple times throughout the series. So I presume it's a hugely famous piece. I know I'm crap at describing it, but I'm willing to answer any questions I can that might help me track it down. I really need to find out what it is! Thanks.

evolving_doors · 06-03-2013 1:23am

go on to youtube and type in "the impressionists bbc" then come back here and tell us when you've identified where the excerpt is..

IceFjoem · 06-03-2013 5:33am

I haven't seen it, but given the topic I'm putting my money on 'Gymnopedie' by Erik Satie.

Ya thats kind of chimey, could be some gamelan, as debussy heard this during the paris exhibition...

Is this the 2006 bbc series Op?

Could it be Ravel's Jeux D'eau?

The series on youtube is a different one. That seems to be a dramatisation, not a documentary.
