Subject: Monty Python Incidental Music making me nuts

Hello all:

For 25 years I have wanted to know some of the music used during the Monty Python television programme, and now that I have started watching the DVDs, it's starting to make me nuts. Can you help me with the following?

Episode 3
Bicycle Repairman
Very dramatic music.

Children’s Stories
Light, happy, sweet music.

Episode 5
Muscle Building Course- Cartoon
Hawaiian Music. Pleasant and slow.

Episode 6
It’s The Arts
Piano solo with the right hand playing a nice, yet unique melody that you wouldn’t be likely to hum very often, while the left hand is busy playing a lot more notes, but politely staying quiet.

Episode 28
Trim-Jeans Theatre
“Jolly show biz music." A bright, bouncy 60s tune with saxophone & percussion.

Mad Hunters
Sounds like Bugler’s Holiday by Leroy Anderson, but isn’t. This was also the opening theme of "Sunrise Semester" in the 70s.

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.
