Pete Dunk Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Here's a tune that's been driving me to distraction. I don't do 'playing by ear' so I need dots to learn a tune, this sounds terribly familiar but is elusive. Any help would be greatly appreciated! https://app.box.com/s/hbm18r1ndfnp38eoo804gqsv61ay6rn7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 File is only available for download (6.5 MB), not for preview. Aye, but the download is free. I downloaded it and then played it on my computer. FWIW, there were several parts that sounded familiar, but I'm not sure they were all from a single tune (song? I found myself trying to recall words) that I've heard before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneads Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Arrggghhh! Now it's driving me nuts. It's almost like having it on the tip of your tongue and then it disappears. Elusive is not the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Don't recognise the tune but we used to have some curtains just like that airbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I thought bits of it sounded familiar, but like JIm I'm not convinced they're not phrases from other tunes stuck together. Pretty tune, though....... Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 A few bars of it sounded very like Michael Turners waltz though the piece as a whole was very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdms Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Well, from looking at the Facebook page for Les Cornemuses a Miroirs du Limousin (here), I gather that the piece is Italian. The musicians (and possibly the piece) appear to hail from Cassino. There's also the Facebook page for the Festival La Zampgna-Maranola (here), which seems to be where the video was recorded, but (speaking neither French nor Italian) I couldn't glean any further information. No one seems to have posted the title of the tune, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 FWIW, there were several parts that sounded familiar, but I'm not sure they were all from a single tune (song? I found myself trying to recall words) that I've heard before. I agree Jim, there are phrases that bring words to your lips but they are too brief to make sense of. The end of the A music has me singing '(working) for a year' and the only song I can think of that that fits with is The Lish Young Buy-a-Broom but it's too fleeting to tie it down and I'm not convinced . Other suggestions are that it contains elements of L'inconnu de Limoise which is tenuous at best! I've Googled the names of the Italian musicians involved and largely drawn a blank other than that they actually exist and perform but apparently they neither record nor have a website. Ho - hum!

Pete Dunk Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 File is only available for download (6.5 MB), not for preview. If you have a dial-up connection this is not recommended. If, however, you live on the planet earth just hit the download button and get the file for free. Preview involves me paying for you to spool the file onto your media player, this, I have to say, is never going to happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 If, however, you live on the planet earth just hit the download button and get the file for free. It's not about getting the file for free. I will happily listen to a tune that streams on a player but rather not download whole files. And no need to go all snide about living on planet earth and all that. It could just as easily be said that if you're to skimpy to pay for a file to stream and you live on planet earth you'd sign up for a Box.net or soundcloud account and get things sorted like other people do.

I don't see where snide comes into it, I wasn't being underhand or saying anything in an evasive way, I was merely being mildly sarcastic in a very obvious way. As it happens I have both Box and Soundcloud accounts, Soundcloud wasn't any use in this instance as I was sharing a video file so I used Box. Box spools MP3 but not video that's just the way it is. It wasn't my intention to upset, insult or irritate you in any way but as my style of writing isn't to your taste I will avoid any future contact.
