It's Gökvalsen, I believe.

I was looking for the composer of "The Cuckoo Waltz". This is a really well known tune but so taken for granted. I thought it was a folk tune but it was actually composed by J E Jonasson and is still in copyright. There are a few other lesser known "Cuckoo" related tunes, one of which you have found. Thanks for your help though.
Hi
There is this piece called 'the Cuckoo' composed by August Eberhard Muller. It has this jumps from high notes to lower, in a way saying cuckoo, and it looks like it's a waltz. I'm pretty sure this is the one you're looking for

The Cuckoo Waltz (1918) was composed by Emanuel Jonasson, Sweden. The original name is "G�kvalsen", although I can't determine if this is the tune BBC is using or not.
Does not appear by searhing Parsons Code or by searchine for 'Cuckoo'. This is such a common piece and I need to know the composer. This was used as the theme tune for a BBC
sitcom series of the same name.
BTW I have Denys Parsons book and am delighted to now find the system on the internet. Well done and congratulations.

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.
