I added a list of tunes we already guessed or tried to guess and the winners under the list of vague rules in the original post.

6 3 6 | 5 6 7 6 | 5 6 7 3 4 5 | 6 3 | . . .

No accidentals."




time to get back to scratching our heads and squinting our eyes






Is that Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, 2nd movement? (But that's not even technically in a minor key, is it...)

I wonder if that is the piece that Rawhide Creek was referring to.

Yes, fcol!.,,we need more accurate cloos (although I hesitate to question Russ on this spring forum) , Cinci Rick’s on the BB song was also slightly inaccurate,wadr.
So let’s pull up our socks, tighten our belts, leave the galpal alone ,and GET THE LEAD OUT!

Did your metric calendar just switch back from daylight savings time and change this August forum to a Spring forum?

Robert, you got it:  Subordinate theme in the relative major; in the exposition, first movement, Schubert’s 8th symphony, a.k.a. “Unfinished”, in B minor.  (D is the relative major.)



Your prize is the dinner of your choice at an unfinished restaurant!

The recent classical clues have been catered to the discerning tastes of the sophisticates seated in the opera boxes.



Maybe a clue for all of us unwashed masses up here in the amphitheater seating can help the thread along.



Rawhide Creek - Posted - 03/19/2018:  11:22:13


Well, shuckydarn, Jeff, I would have used a clue from the “Unbegun Symphony” but I wasn’t sure where it would all end . . .

I say wait until 1 hour after (12 mins from now) the correct answer was verified and if the winner doesn't step up then he can have his excellent prize but the next question should be fair game. Everyone agree? A quorum on this vote is at least one agreeing reply. If so, I will change the rules.

I was just trying to move it along Russ, as you may have noticed that in the past when the natives got restless, we would post new topics out of turn, I was just going to make a de facto rule into a de jure one.

Legal English: “De Facto/De Jure” ... De facto means a state of affairs that is true in fact, but that is not officially sanctioned. In contrast, de jure means a state of affairs that is in accordance with law (i.e. that is officially sanctioned)

I agree, 1 hour is too short. 2 maybe 3.

I hesitate to even guess at these unless I have one queued up.

(sometimes it's better to just go ahead and pose a new topic without permission, until we come up with a consensus)



Maybe we can just try 2 hours (20 mins from now) to see how it goes.

FlyinEagle - Posted - 03/19/2018:  12:55:33


Since this is a march forum now…



The 2nd strain (main theme) of this march, written in F major, begins a 2nd above the tonic, jumps down to a second below the tonic, then moves back up chromatically to starting note. From there the melody leaps up to the 7th above the tonic, which is repeated 5 times with a marchy bounce.



The pattern then repeats itself, but the 2nd time around the high note is one whole step higher than the 1st time around.

Mooooo - Posted - 03/19/2018:  13:06:54


FlyinEagle it would be nice to know where that starting note is.

We have a winner here folks. 



Congratulations Chuck, the hockey team of your choice may advance to the Stanley Cup finals, where the classic country star of your choice, dead or alive, will perform private pre-game shows for you and your invited guests before each game.



Enjoy.

I was hoping it would be the “January February March” by the late Don Gillis, but the clue didn’t fit.

Rawhide Creek - Posted - 03/19/2018:  17:49:22


Okay, gang, one good march deserves another.



Written in 1951, it is a march in 4/4 and F minor.  The word “march” does not appear in the title, but it is a march:



. . . 5  5   |   1  1   |   3  1  1  1   |   3  5  4  3   |   5  5  5   |   1  7   |   5  6  7  3  3   |   6  5  4   |   2 . . .   



N. B.  This is the actual tune of the march, not the fanfare which precedes it.


Edited by - Rawhide Creek on 03/19/2018 17:55:47

Rawhide Creek - Posted - 03/20/2018:  11:05:05


Okay—a couple of hints:



1.  The 5-4-3 in the third full bar is a hemiola, i.e., a triplet played against two beats in the accompaniment.



2.  The tonic (1) in the fifth full bar is an octave above those in the first and second bars.

Mooooo - Posted - 03/20/2018:  11:31:39


What genre of tune is this?

Rawhide Creek - Posted - 03/20/2018:  15:18:06


Well, it’s been played by the Boston Pops.

Leroy Anderson?

Yep.  One of the 79 (at least) composers who have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.



But can you name it?  (He wrote a few other marches, too.)

I have never heard the tune but without even listening to it, I found in a google search a tune that I think is a good contender. I will offer my guess and then listen. Is it the appropriately named piece: The First Day of Spring?

Rawhide Creek - Posted - 03/20/2018:  18:32:14


Nope.

I thought it bore a resemblance to the irish washerwoman, which Anderson included in his Irish Suite, but idunno...



Well, I was way off...
