This one is now solved - whew! :)

you can watch the forum or individual "conferences", that is, have it e-mail new posts to you.
See under "Profile".

That looks amazingly like "Melody Of Love", popularized by Freddy Martin & Orch in the '40s and again by Billy Vaughn & Orch in the '50s. The original was instrumental but later lyrics were added.

Thanks for the reply, ipodhead!

Unfortunately, I've just downloaded and listened to "Underneath the Arches", and it's definitely not the tune I was thinking of. But I do appreciate the effort.

This seems to me like it's going to turn out to be something fairly obvious, and I'm gonna kick myself when someone tells me the correct answer. Anyone?

Sounds a bit like "Underneath the arches", made famous by Flanagan & Allen

I'm sure this is an easy one for someone... I've had this simple melody running through my head for a few days now and haven't been able to think of the name. I believe it is a classical melody that at some point was made into a popular tune, probably from the 40s or 50s. Perhaps it might be a Strauss waltz or something similar?

Thanks to whoever can remind me what this is... :)

You must login to post a message to this conference.

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.

If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:

1. Record your audio here.
2. You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
3. copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]

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.
