EllJay Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I wonder if someone can help me identifying this music piece. I have this short audio clip that you can listen to here. (just push the play button) >> https://clyp.it/yfe2auxy I have heard this one lots of times before, but have forgotten who composed it, so any help would be appreciated.

Will Due Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 That's Wagner's 29th Symphony in k-minor augmented to a sharp accidental, recorded in a tunnel while in great XTC writing a letter of appreciation for being alive entitled, "Dear God."

ChrLzs Posted February 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2018 While I can't help, I know it, and it's a lovely piece... I'll be surprised if a classical enthusiast won't pop along soon and say "Ahah!! Thats... " It could also be a movie theme, but I'm leaning towards a classical piece. Very familiar, but ..I just aren't very good at rememberising all them complicated names! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenemet Posted February 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) It's Smetana: Vltava (The Moldau) - it's the main theme ... so wait for the introduction to finish. The main theme begins about the 43 second mark. Edited February 16, 2018 by Kenemet 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong! The letter was entitled... "Lieber Gott." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted February 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Is it the one they played in that ad where the kid was pushing a bike up a hill in a fake Yorkshire ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That was Dvorak's New World Symphony in the Hovis ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the only thing he has to do or does he have something else, do you reckon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, he dings the thing for multiple orchestras to pay the bills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dings upon command and does several other odd things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
