Soma: there's a very nice little Chrismas Carol that DOES have the typical B after the CEG-sequence: Jesus Christ the Apple Tree. It's c|cegg|bbc (equal length). (not in the Musipedia database yet)

I think you have not the least cause to be fearful. Your tune is such a basic simple twinkle, twinkle little star chain of notes that it seems unlikely it would have passed by unseen, unused, or have been carelessly discarded by the great composers, yet none seems to have bothered too much with it and preferred variants, for example, Humperdinck in his opera "Hansel und Gretel". Several classical composers began melodies with CEEGG and its cousin CCEEGG though seeming to prefer to continue the sequence with any note other than B :)
While writing a song I came up with this little melody, but I'm fearful (always) that it's really from something else.

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.
