Ok, i can remember this one being played at junior school assemblies, like 10-12yrs ago. It was always the one put on at the end, when prayers were said, and is a piano piece, similar to Clare de lune, very slow. Single key strokes like... di di di di di di di di dum, dum dum, dum dum. Any ideas? I know its a long shot...

EDIT: There were no words to the piece, and it was purely piano, if i remember correctly. I may have to record the hums i think!!!

Its none of the pieces mentioned so far... It does however, bear resemblance to Debussy's Clare de Lune, the slow start with soft notes...

I think there is a site accessible from bored.com where you play in the rhythm to a piece with your space bar and it supposedly detects what it is - you could try that.
Alternatively, email me and I'll try to decifer the notes if you can sing it!!!!

Hi,
as you say it IS a little difficult...BUT, maybe I have found it (maybe!) the rhythm you have indicated just about matches the rather famous 'Trout' piece, by Schubert.
If that really was the piece there are words (taught to me fifty years ago by Mr. Dell. 'I stood beside a brooklet, that sparkled i-i-in the sun' The rest I can't remember, but you should be able to find it if you remember what the piece actually was.
HEY! I've just re-read your question and realised you said the piece was slow...I am now pretty sure that the piece was 'Abide with me' forget the first part...The Trout was a fairly bright piece.
Hope that helps,
BobSpain

I'll venture a guess.. given your very OBSCURE clue.... but honestly it makes me think of Rondo al Turca by Mozart... however in your vernacular its more like di di di di da da dum, da da da dum, da da da dum. LOL

My mother used to sing this to me to the tune of Schubert's "Trout" theme (to which I'm listening now). That's dead certain. But who wrote the words? That was the question I had when I came to this site.

i stood beside a brooklet that sparkled on its wal,and saw beneath the wavlets a tiny trout at play. as swifftly as an arrow it darted to and fro;the gayest of the fishes among the reeds below.the gayest of the fishes among the reeds below.

Canon in D by Pachelbel is a possibility.

possibly Fur Elise by Beethoven?
PS: wildjoe - Ode to Joy is by Beethoven too, not Mozart.

Nothing like a hard one before bedtime! I'll think about it while I sip my hot chocolate.
