Anyone wanna play a game? Dadada Dahhhhh

evolving_doors

Following on from the 'help me with finding a piece I heard' thread I was wondering if anyone would like to play a 'name that tune' game. I know some of the regulars here are quite good at figuring out the dedadada da da da dedede stuff

Rules can be altered as we go..
Basically winner posts the next one...

Dadadaaaas are fine.
Split second samples of the original are fine.
Backward stuff is fine too for the devil worshippers (multi denominational thread here!).
Play in your own obscure rendition...
Maybe allow wierd remixes/versions from youtube or soundcloud or whatever.
keep it to anything after 17th century.

Allow the 'performer' at least 24 hrs to respond or else just start a new one to keep it going.
If 2 people are in agreement as to what it is and the 'performer' is unavailable then fire away.


So just to kick it off Ill go ...

Da da da dahhhhhhhh

Now you're messing.

It was (hopefully) a close approximation of

Rondo Alla Turca

YA I was doing the F#minor running semiquaver parts.

Wierd though... don;t know what mozart's concept of turkish music was to be coming out with this!

evolving_doors

Anyhow here's the next one (it's slow tempo! and just the bare melody without triplet accompaniment intro)

Da........ Da-da....... Da-da ......... dadadada da da...
Da.... da .....da .....da ........dededede da da

I'm confused, Ted!

But is that some Hungarian funeral march played on the organ? (I may be mixing my musical metaphors/titles here, but I can hear the melody I think it is, just can't for the life of me think of the name of it - and I used to play it on the piano years ago!)

Hmm it'd be more of the love song flavour than the funeral march side of things.

Womans name often attributed to it (Defo not the composers idea..:pac:)

EDIT: Although the poignancy of the subject (of which the woman's name is associated with it), would lend itself to her passing I suppose!..

Elvira Madigan?

Yes... the stage is yours dlouth15

Mainly the name clue that did it for me.

OK:
da da dah, da da dah, da da dah di.
da da dah, da da dah, da da doh doh...

garancafan

If there were one more "duh" then it would correspond with WAM's 40th.

A suggestion: use a capital to indicate accent. Thus Beethoven's fifth could be: Da da da Dahhhhhhhh

garancafan

Just noticed Armelodie used appropriate capital in the title - just not in the text.

Correct it was the 40th. I've added in the second doh! Over to you...

garancafan

OK, an easy aria: Dah dah Dada, di Dah dah Dah...

garancafan

Having listened to a performance of my recent attempt at dah dahs I can only describe my effort as shoddy. My apologies. Here is, what I hope is, a better effort:

dah dah Dadada, dah dah Dah...

evolving_doors

Slow on the uptake... post deleted

FYP (The 5th starts with a silence:eek:!!)

Apart from that I havn;t a bulls notion of the aria

garancafan

Think tango.

evolving_doors

bizet's aria from carmen!

garancafan

Bingo! "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle..." known universally as the habanera.
Your move.

Think I have it but I'll keep my powder dry for the moment rather than turn the thread into a game of singles tennis.

Note that, although the notification of Armelodie's post includes the phrase "piano piece" this does not appear in the actual post.

Thats it,

Thanks. The bit of the score helped confirm it for me.

Right. Who will step up to the plate and get this?

Dah! Dah!

Dah di dah didahdahdidah

This hint might give it away:

garancafan

Could it be the Star Wars leitmotif?

No but I can see how might fit.

A clue is that the composer originally dedicated the work to the man in the picture (not the most recognizable picture of him).

Eph1958

Might it be the theme to the film....Jaws?

Eph

dlouth15

It is not from a film score. A further clue is that the composer has already been mentioned in this thread.

Beethoven's third symphony (the Eroica).

Well done. Yes the Eroica symphony. Initially dedicated to Napoleon but struck out from the manuscript when he crowned himself emperor.

Your go...

garancafan

And I took the picture to be Julius Caesar!

Ok then, how about this:-

daDah dongDong
didadiDah dongDong
dadididaDah dongDong
didadiDah dongDong
etc

garancafan

Piano piece in two parts. The first threnodic in style, the second quite the opposite.

garancafan

I thought it would be easy. Must be my notation!

I did get the feeling that there was a touch of piano concerto drama to it (gershwin kinda!), but other than that ..... not a bulls

garancafan

How about a little of this:-

Allegro
Dah dadah daDadadadidih
Dih didih diDididadidah
etc.

The Merrie Melodie played by Bugs Bunny was, of course, (an approximation to) the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Listz.

OK.

Hopefully you will be able to get the drift of this.

dlouth15

Don't all barge in with the answer!

garancafan

Just can't quite get a handle on it!

dlouth15

Yes it was the "alla hornpipe" from Handel's Water Music.

garancafan

My last contribution was intended to prompt somebody else to take the strain, but clearly dlouth15 is not letting me away with it.

OK this should be easy:-

Duh dah dah daDah dih dih dah
Dih dih dih daDah dawh daahh.
