And here it is. Every time I hear it I can't help but picture goose-stepping guys in big fur hats and missile launchers on parade in front of St. Basil's cathedral.

Well, it turns out that it WAS written specifically for the movie; it's "Hymn to Red October"; the sample on Amazon.com stops just before "my" part starts.

I thought it might have been in "HFRO", but the soundtrack only has music written specifically for the movie, so this isn't on it.

I could have sworn I heard that on the soundtrack to The Hunt for Red October, but I couldn't find it among the tracks sampled on Amazon. You might look here: http://www.russia-in-us.com/Music/Collections/Ofman/russianestrada/

I heard this a few years ago in a series of Discovery Channel documentaries on Soviet aircraft. The soundtrack featured what I assumed was Russian composers, as I recognized Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition". This is the one that stuck in my head, and I've been whistling it every day since. It sounded like a march, heavy on the low brass and snare drums.

Anyone know what it is? Thanks.

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.
