What's that piece...?

cornbb · 28-04-2009 12:49am

Yesssssss... that's the one... thanks for saving me from having to go through all my movies

Danny-B · 28-04-2009 1:03am

Haha, no problem.

Incidentally, Broken Arrow is the only other Hans Zimmer score I can stand, and it also features Christian Bale.
What a silly, but great movie. :P

Anyone know the piece of music in the Pantene ad?

Myleene Klass is playing the piano in the ad and it also features as the main melody in a song by Daft Punk

I'm pretty sure it's just an arrangement of Daft Punk's 'Aerodynamic' for that ad. I don't think Daft Punk actually sampled a piece for that.

Dr Gradus · 06-05-2009 10:48pm

Yeh its just a version of Aerodynamic....

Sounds like the main theme to True Romance, one of the only Hans Zimmer scores I can bear. Not that the score itself is great, just I quite like that theme.

I'm sure you can find it on YouTube to check if it's what you meant.

I did a bit of YouTube research (I could hear the tune in my head as soon as it was described, and didn't know what it was). Apparently it's "Gassenhauer" from Carl Orff's Schulwerk. Its full title is or "Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536)" , which means "Street Song after Hans Neusiedler (1536)", so the tune is not original to Orff either! It has often been used in films and television, the film Badlands being another example:

In the 1994 movie "The Madness of King George" there's one scene where the aristocratic audience listens to several handbell-ringers performing a simple yet beautiful piece of music. I've searched and I've google and I've spent hours on Youtube trying to find it, but I can't. In fact, I don't know what the piece is even called.

Any help is appreciated.

I vaguely remember it was Greensleeves, but I've not seen the film in years. It would make sense, as Greensleeves is popularly - though wrongly - thought to have been written by Henry VIII.

bestman · 06-06-2009 6:16pm

Does anyone know the classical music used at the end Peter Kay: Raider of Pop Charts Part 2 during the week. It was soft sounding but cant find it anywhere. Im fairly certain the same piece of music was by RTE for a Champions League advert a few years ago (not the usual commissioned piece). Any help id be grateful!

Anyone have any idea?

I think it's "Woodbrook" from Irish composer Micheál Ó Suilleabháin.

gnolan · 14-12-2009 6:44pm

Was up late one night recently and Backdraft was one - yeah, the Kurt Russell one. When I heard the theme music at the start i knew it immediately from something else - alas, after a few hours searching i can't identify it.

At first i thought it was the same music from the West Wing but it's not. It has that military-style percussion to it. The part i recognize in the song kicks in around 37 seconds. Hope someone on here recognizes it.

Hey,

Not sure if this is a classical piece or not, but maybe you guys could help anyway. Just need to find the name of the first piece of music in this remix.

RINO87 · 25-02-2010 9:04pm

Hey guys, im going mad trying to find the name of the music thats on the current Cadbury u-21 football championships tv ad. It shows a guy doing sit-ups. I love the piece from years ago but cant put a name on it to find it again. I thought it was from Amelie, but its not on the soundtrack.

nyarlothothep · 12-03-2010 1:12am

Whats the name of that mozart piece, its on piano only, its lilting and somewhat melancholic despite being in a major key. Its got some fifths in it, the notes would be something like C # d c# e, e, b, c#, b, d, d, a, a, b, b, c#, e, d c#, b.

Also does anyone know this tune, I think its by chopann, again only on piano and it sounds very wistful and melancholic, the notes are

b, b, b, a, d, b, c#, d, g, f# e, and so on.

funky penguin · 12-03-2010 1:04pm

That first one is is Mozart's Sonata in A major K331 No. 11

Here's an interesting recording of Rachmaninoff playing it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96fWJQa3-hY

Trying to get the second one now....

EDIT: No joy...

Hey there,
Don't know if this is the correct place to post, I posted it in the general music forum aswell but through it might be more relevant here!

Does anyone know the name of the piece of classical music in last nights greys anatomy on RTE2?

The episode was called the Time Warp and music was played at the end of the show when Richard reads out the Doctors oath.

Its a commonly enough piece of music used in films, tv shoes etc.
Thanks!!

Here it is on youtube:

rcaz · 23-04-2010 2:15pm

I was talking to a friend who told me about a piece where, at some point in the performance, all the performers (orchestra, I think) pick up their sheet music and shake it to make a noise like wind or rain or something. It might have been composed by a woman, and it might be called something like 'Scorched Earth', she's couldn't remember exactly. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

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

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

Valmont · 12-05-2010 10:37pm

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

also........Black Tie used to have a radio/TV ad whihc had a piece of music whihc I thought was form Mozarts Requium (sp) but again I am not sure, can anyone help?

Kron · 21-08-2010 5:27pm

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 · 21-08-2010 7:27pm

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

folex · 05-10-2010 8:10pm

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.

clikityclak · 02-11-2010 9:48pm

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 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.
