Subject: What is this piano piece called?

I don't have any sheet music or audio clips of it sorry, but I'll try my best to describe it.

I've heard it in school a few times to the point where it now sounds familiar, but only the first 8 bars.
It's in a minor key and is fairly slow, about 70 crotchet beats per minute max. It's in either 2/4 or 4/4 time. The first bar is (lets call it) chord A on the first beat which is held throughout the bar and is followed by three quaver beats, making a total length of 2 crotchets. Quavers 1 and 3 are the same, and quavers 2 and 4 are the same.
The next 2 bars are the same but for chords B and C respectively. Bar 4 stays on chord C and plays the pattern: quaver, semiquaver, semiquaver, quaver, semiquaver, semiquaver. Of those 6 notes, notes 1, 2 and 5 are the same pitch, notes 3 and 6 are at the same pitch as each other as well.
Bars 5-8 then repeat.

Hopefully this makes sense to someone, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

Also, it reminded me a bit of Fix You by Coldplay, but this piece is slightly different and of a different key

Thanks,
Ethan

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.
