I would like to identify a certain music piece a fragment of which, in the movie "The Bostonians", is heard (at least) twice. The first occurrence happens after about 35 min.: main characters Basil and Verena are visiting a Harvard church where an invisible choir is studying the piece. The second occurrence starts at about 120 min. when Basil, with his foot hurt, walks on the beach; this time it is not a choir but an orchestra playing the same music. I strongly suspect the piece is not due to the movie's composer (Richard Robbins). Different film sites name von Suppe's Peasant and Bauer and Wagner's Lohengrin as used in the film, but they are not it. Part of the tune I fed into Musipedia, but the answers seemed at fault. The following 13 notes are heard shortly after the intro of the piece: c'gfeagfedec'ed - all are quarter notes except the 5th (a), 6th (g), 10th (e), 11th (c') which are halves and the 8th (e), 9th (d), 12th (e), which are eights. Is there someone who recognizes this?

Special forum features: inserting music notation, posting audio recordings.
How to insert music:
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.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
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.
