Just FYI: title in main forum listing still says "[unsolved]" at the end... might want to remove the "un" to avoid confusion...

Specifically, from the Commodore 64 game "Dante's Inferno".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnsWceYWNpQ
The arranger (Fred Gray) once said in an interview that "I used Bach, and played some tunes forward and again backwards to save memory." but he didn't identify the songs. (He also didn't stay exclusively with Bach - the final piece is obviously "Joy to the World".) So I'm left with a bunch of music I like and would like to hear the originals of, except maybe it's not all Bach, and maybe some of it is being played backwards! (At least, unlike some C64 games, it doesn't appear to be at the mercy of the continent it's running on to determine tempo.)
I've tried before to track down the pieces but have had limited success. The only one I found is the one played between Acheron (0:35 in the above video) and Dis (2:27), the Bourrée from "Overture in Bm", BWV 831.
I've tried Musipedia's automated features, and I sometimes get back results, but not the right ones. Might just be me, no idea. Tried slowing things down, etc. No luck.
For one-minute MP3s captured from the original code:
http://s91291220.onlinehome.us/hosted/Dante/dantes_inferno - track 1.mp3 (Unused in the game?)
http://s91291220.onlinehome.us/hosted/Dante/dantes_inferno - track 6.mp3 (The Dark Wood)
http://s91291220.onlinehome.us/hosted/Dante/dantes_inferno - track 8.mp3 (Upper Hell - BWV 831, included here for completeness)
http://s91291220.onlinehome.us/hosted/Dante/dantes_inferno - track 2.mp3 (Lower Hell/Dis)
I can post the whole of any given track from the game if need be. If someone wishes to have it posted as the playback widget for this site, I can try feeding it through the mic, but playing it at normal speed with two discrete instruments isn't going to come out well.

You must login to post a message to this conference.
How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
