Solved. I finally found the tune I was looking for.

It's called "Calliope House", and the version running through my head for the last two days was performed by the Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser. Amazingly enough, this is not an ancient traditional Celtic tune, but was composed in the 1970's by a man named Dave Richardson in the band Boys of the Lough.

Beautiful tune, though. Highly recommended.[/url]

This may not be a note-for-note rendition of this tune, but I think it's pretty close (except for the tempo, which is much livelier (faster) than it is rendered here). Also, the primary instrument is a fiddle, not a piano. This tune has been running through my head for several hours now and I'm just not able to find the title in my brain. I'm pretty sure it's either Celtic or Québecois. La Bottine Souriante, perhaps?

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.
