popular around the world

With the possible exception of Tennessee, USA.

Ive never heard of him before, but Im eager to check his compositions out now, so thanks!

Edited to add: Ah! My guess was actually close. Now that Ive listened to Flick Flack, it is a bit similar to some of Frosinis compositions, such as Hot Points:

Yup thats the style. If you check out not just Flick-Flack but also the other compositions by Vossen, they are all in this style.

I am going to add one note to the new challenge:
Fis B G E D Cis (The key is D major).

This piece is much much older than the previous challenge.
But nonetheless there can be very few people who do not know this piece.
It is also often performed on accordion, not too often solo but a lot in small groups (two to five players).

Come on folks, you know this one!

More tips?

Think baroque. Make the first note very long. Then you know it?

Is it this?

Air from Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major - Bach
It fits if you ignore the grace note

Good job! Finally something someone knows...
Is there anyone who never heard this piece???

Over to you!

I certainly recognised the piece, Paul, but wouldn't have worked out what it was without your clues.

Here's a genre we haven't had yet. I play it on accordion and I've heard it played on accordion but can't find any YouTube clips.
The music is post-Bach, the words pre-Bach. It's played in many different keys - this is in C

It looks like the Morpeth Rant though I have never heard it sung !

 

[geoff45789]

I've just listened to the Morpeth Rant and this is much slower - you're right the notes are the same.
I'd better give you some more notes.

There is something familiar about it... Im thinking movies or tv series, perhaps with latin lyrics... (but Its not ecce homo qui est faba as the notes do not match, but Im thinking of this type of style)...

Its not a theme tune and the lyrics are in English, not Latin. I was going to give the year the lyrics were written but googling song 16xx leads directly to the answer. It will be heard more frequently in the next 2 weeks than at any other time of the year

One last clue in case anyone is still playing..

This is a hymn associated with Holy week - it alludes to Palm Sunday & Good Friday but not Easter Sunday

That would be my guess. But even though the notes sound familiar I cannot think of what it actually is... sorry.

How about "My song is love unknown" - to the tune of "Love Unknown" by J Ireland. Words by Samuel Crossman, c 1624-84
It's very similar, though I have the music in E flat.
I love to play hymns (on the piano !) and have collected a few hymn books over the years.

 

[geoff45789]

Well done, Corsaire. That's it. One of my favourite tunes

 

[Corsaire]

It's a lovely hymn, but I aways thought the music was so sad. I would never have thought to play it on the accordion !
I'll have to think about a tune .....

 

[geoff45789]

No choice - I cant play any other instrument! But youre right, it works better on piano

 

[Corsaire]

If anyone's still playing ......

In the key of A - it's an instrumental written for piano, organ or accordion
A C E A C E A C Bflat

A C E A C E A C Bflat

You mean A major with C actually C#, or A minor so C is really C ?

 

[Corsaire]

Well, the music I have shows the key signature as 3 sharps - therefore A major.
Sorry, I forgot to say A major as opposed to A minor (C major) !
