That sounds very familiar - but I'm blowed if I can remember what it's called :lol: I'll sleep on it ...

It must be Die Moldau by Smetana.Corsaire said:
Very familiar indeed.
This is the main melody that starts just before measure 40. (Yes, there is a very long intro that we would never have guessed if that was given.)
We played it with an accordion orchestra 10 years ago.

Of course, well done ! It's when you think of a tune in another context. Equally I might have got Smetana, but not the title !!

Correct! Also known by the original Czech title, "Vltava". A marvelous melody by any name.
Your turn, Paul...

Die Moldau is too inviting to pass this up:JeffJetton said:
D G A B C D (key is G major, no indication of octave)
Yep, if you add to letters to the previous assignment it becomes the same... yet it is a completely different tune, quite a bit older.
(Not originally for accordion because it predates the very earliest accordions by more than a century.)

Minuet in G from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach?
Interesting how the songs match up, especially the later part of Die Moldau where it switches to the parallel major. Never noticed that before.

You got it! And indeed, when die moldau switches to the parallel major its a perfect match (except for the octave of the first note).
Back to you!

I like this idea of linking the new selection to the previous one. So…
Key of D major:
A A A G F E D
For extra credit: What does this piece have in common with the Minuet in G?

but I must say I didnt know this march before I found it on musipedia.
I dont know how to link it to the Minuet so it may not be what Jeff wants...

That's not it, although there are enough similarities that it makes me wonder if the piece you guessed was derived/inspired by my selection. (Or the other way around?)
Here it is with more notes. Key of D major:
A A A G F E D F E A F A D
Hint: Although I do have a commercially-published accordion arrangement of it in my library, it is not an "accordion tune".

Seems like we are not going anywhere...
Maybe you can give us the octaves to help out?

It looks like a tune that is often used at weddings - Trumpet Tune by Purcell ???

It seems to have a familiar ring to it yet I cannot put my finger on it... there is just sooooo much music out there...

I just keep playing the notes on the piano and hope something will click. Obviously if I don't know the tune, it won't work !

Having suggested Purcell's Trumpet Tune, I can't think of a thing it has in common with Minuet in G !
Purcells Trumpet Voluntary is actually mistakenly attributed to Purcell. It is by Jeremiah Clarke.Corsaire said:
I looked up both Jeremiah Clarkes Trumpet Voluntary and Purcells Trumpet Tune. Neither fits the notes, not even close.

Absolutely right, and the Jeffs notes have no bearing on the Trumpet Voluntary ! I know Purcells Trumpet Tune well - I had it at my wedding many years ago !
The notes of Trumpet Tune seem to fit the notes Jeff gave us - albeit in a different key ! But if you transpose it from B flat to D, voilà !

Here it is on Youtube in D :
(I dont know how to add a url code or a YouTube code on this forum)
By the way, Paul, are you using the small letters for the upper octave and the capitals for the lower octave ? If not, I can see why they dont fit.

Interesting. This indeed fits.Corsaire said:
I found Purcells Trumpet Tune ZT 678 and ZT 697 and these were definitely no match.
So you obviously found another Trumpet Tune not in my list.
I found it now:
http://ks.petruccimusiclibrary.org/...IMSLP127872-WIMA.2345-Clarke_Trumpet_Tune.pdf[/url]
This is another Trumpet Tune wrongly attributed to Purcell.
It is a Trumpet Tune by Jeremiah Clarke and it is in D.
The whole page on imslp is
http://imslp.org/wiki/Trumpet_Tune_(Clarke,_Jeremiah)
Still, credit for finding it really goes to Corsaire. His only mistake was the attribution to Purcell, which appears to be common.
