Subject: re: Song With Sounds of the Germans Bombing England?
Perhaps this was soundtrack music from the British wartime (1941) movie "Dangerous Moonlight."
I seem to recall the music performance continuing despite air-raid sirens and bombs going off.
Much of the music was composed by Richard Addinsell, and included his "Warsaw Concerto." That, of course, features the piano to a great degree which is contrary to your comment "The piece had no or little piano." What you possibly may have heard is an orchestral version of it. It certainly was exceedingly popular in its day.

Well maybe I'm mistaken about the strings. I distinctly remember the baritone section, though. I'm trying to remember more but all I can remember are the sounds. I did listen to the other song you suggested but that wasn't it either. I'm trying to find a good resource for sheet music, but can't seem to find any good resource with a background of the song to tell if it is the one.
Thanks for your help.

I listened to the posted MP3 but it wasn't it. Thanks for trying to help, though. The piece had no or little piano. More strings, timpani drums and baritones.
Anyone want to take a guess?

Subject: Song With Sounds of the Germans Bombing England?
I went to a high school concert a while back and don't have a program from it. But the symphony played an interesting score with sounds of the Nazis bombing cities in England (I believe). The sounds of bombs crashing, an air siren and sounds of planes where so realistic it brought tears to a number of people in the audience and got a standing ovation. I would LOVE to find out the composer and name of the piece, but can't seem to find any information of the piece anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

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.
