I don't have the answer, but since you say anything will help...
I'm pretty sure I've heard this in a radio commercial.
It might have been selling cars, diamonds, pianos, or a classical
music radio station.

I'd like to offer a reward for this one, since it's driving me crazy!!

What is the name of this song? Or what is it from? Anything will help!!

Here is a MIDI of it (from the thread below):

Soma,

Yes. Your MIDI is now perfect!
(Or as perfect as my brain remembers it, anyway.)

Thanks!

(Now, if only someone can tell me the name of the song, or who composed it. Then I can get on with my life!) :-)

Soma,

That's the tune alright. Except that you missed on the 5-note intro. It's supposed to be C-E-A-G-E. You played C-E-A-A-G in your MIDI. Also, the second "intro" is wrong. It's supposed to be B-D-G-F-D. I am not sure what you played in your MIDI. But it doesn't sound right.

But thanks for making it easier for everyone to hear it !

I have a song going through my head, and I have no idea what the name is.
It is played by a piano with orchestra. It's a mellow "easy listening" instrumental.

Here is my hand-written attempt at transcribing the song:


It is played at about 72 beats per minute (between andante and andantino on my metronome).

Most people who play this say they have heard it before. But no one (thus far) has identified it for me.

Thanks for any help.

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.
