What's that piece...?

XVII · 06-07-2014 3:20pm

Ok. Would anyone recommend me a few classical music forums, where I could post this, too?

You could try http://www.talkclassical.com/. The posters seem very knowledgeable there.

I heard this on Classic FM but the presenter must have given it the full speel on the intro as he said nothing when it ended. I've heard it a few times in the sporting arena and for some reason I thought Big Daddy (Shirley Crabtree) used it as a ring entrance theme (but might have been someone else from the lunchtime wretling on Saturday lunchtime about 30 years ago

daaa da, da-da da da da daa, da-da daa da-da, da-da da da da, da-da da, da-da da, da-da da daa

I think it was played on trumpets.

If you can get it from that you're a legend.

Maybe before we hear the sound cloud excerpt the poster could do dahs,dees and dums in the spirit of things.

Does anyone know the name of the piece of music that starts 11min 13sec into...

Sorry, due to boards.ie restrictions I'm not able to post attachments, urls or blah de blah...

Okay, if you search youtube for "Agent Zigzag: The Eddie Chapman Story (Part 4)" and skip along to exactly 11 minutes 13 seconds you'll hear the piece of piano music that boards won't allow me to attach, or link to.

Please folks, this one's been niggling at me for almost 3 years now. I heard it again the other night on the BBC's "So you think you can drive", hence the renewed search for the name of it.

Here's hoping one of you good folks can help...

Many thanks for putting the link up : ). Who knows, it may jog someone's memory and save me a lot of further research.

I don't recognise the specific piece queried but to me it sounds like typical incidental music for a documentary such as this. In other words, the soundtrack may have been composed especially for the film. If the music is original, there are no credits at the end to say who the composer is.

The other possibility is that the music may have been licensed from a library who own the copyright. The fact that you heard it in another programme supports this. If so, the composer would have been paid a flat fee for the music and would not receive any further royalties.

evolving_doors · 20-09-2014 3:50pm

anyone try shazzamming it, although theres lots of background noise. Maybe locate the BBC program!

or if you could do out the da,de,daaaas for funkey monkey

badspealler · 20-09-2014 4:44pm

Yeah, I have already contacted the BBC, who suggested trying the programme website, but that didn't yield any results. I've also posted to the BBC Points Of View forum asking pretty much the same question I've posed here. Who knows - the BBC mods only released the post late last night so I'll give it a bit of time to see if anyone recognises it.

I've tried all the usual websites (soundhoud, track id, shazaam etc) but the voiceover (both English and Norwegian audio) really messes with the algorithmic pattern matching those sites use. I've even gone through the various online piano sites, played the opening bars and searched high and low for the specific note progression and tempo without much luck either.

I was up until almost 4am this morning trawling through YouTube clips of piano pieces to see if I could find it. Found some amazing piano solos, so it was a productive enough venture even though I didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

I'm like a dog with a huge juicy bone that I can't let go of! I tried playing the notes on guitar and soundhounding that but no joy either : (.

I guess the only way I'm really going to get to the bottom of it is to contact the production company / personnel responsible for either programme directly to see if they can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far though. Who knows!!

PatsyR · 24-09-2014 11:31pm

So if anyone saw life and death row on bbc3 tonight, u might have heard that amazing piece in the middle of it. Anyone know it???

An exhaustive youtube and regular search turned up nothing

badspealler · 25-09-2014 8:02pm

Another one?!!

Fuel to an already heartily-burning fire... Looks like this could be a long, protracted search.

PatsyR · 28-09-2014 3:05pm

Oh no haha sounds bad :P

Taylor365 · 29-09-2014 3:45pm

Any ideas?

It's not a piece I knew, but Shazam found it for me: Brahms Klavierstücke, Op.76, No. 7 - Intermezzo in A minor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVy_gnnwYDE

I don't think I've ever really heard any of Brahms's solo piano music, so that gives me something new to hear.

Howdy folks,

I listen to Lyric FM a fair bit here and there when driving around. This music came on and I got a crappy recording of it on the phone. Was wondering if anyone could identify it for me (so I can go in search of it).

The recordings are not great though. Two seperate recordings, about 30 seconds each (cos I accidentally turned off the recorder on the phone and then had to start again).

(Note; the Garda jeep was just the first photo on my desktop i could throw into the video file)

HeidiHeidi · 05-12-2014 11:43am

Most programmes on Lyric put up their playlist on the website afterwards, so if you know roughly what time you hear something you can check out the details.

What you recorded was Air (on the G string) by Bach from his Orchestral Suite No. 3

mambo · 05-12-2014 11:44am

Sounds like JS Bach, "Air on a G String" (no sniggering!)

wasnt that the one used in Whiter shade of pale. (fandango?) .( the guy who played/adapted it in the band tried to sue someone else for using it and it went to court, although it was pointed out that bach ripped it off from Lully ... or something!)

Debussy's Clair De Lune! (from Suite Bergamasque!)

If you like that check out his 'Reverie' or arabesques

I heard a version of Moonlight Sonata during Rick Stein's German Bite last night which was primarily acoustic guitar based but there was definitely some other instruments (strings?) along with it. Anyone see it, or know any versions like this?

Alright lads, hopefully this is quick and painless! Been lookin for the name of this for ages, I've done a quick recording of it and I think it's accurate enough. Thanks for the help!

Damn, you got to it before me darjeeling...

All I can add to it is that it became wildly popular after Stanley Kubrick used it for the film Eyes Wide Shut... bamboo plant in the driveway and all that.

Sounds 20th century, probably British. (She is talking about the British landscape so I suspect Vaughan Williams/Britten/Delius etc...) There is a piece at 00:12, and more extensively from 2:41 to 3:29 and a different piece from 4:04 to 4:40 but I suspect that they are from the same suite/symphony

Sounds great whatever it is!

Probably not related, but it does remind me of the opening of The Coronation Scene from Boris Godunov

Britten and Vaughan Williams it is!

The first piece is Sunday Morning from Britten's Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, and the second is Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending.

Hi all

I know that this is from Swan Lake but i can't find which part of Swan Lake it is and I don't want to listen to the whole thing. So if anyone can identify it specifically for me, that would be excellent!

Thanks
