Tusker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Could you help me identify this melodic fragment ... (all notes equal in length, about 220 notes per minute.) c,d,e,g,b,b,b,a,d,d,d,c,b,b,b, ...it's an ascending line until the a, then ascends again to the d and then comes down. It feels like a Boston Pops / Leroy Anderson / orchestral / novelty thing. It's stuck in my head and it won't leave. Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think I know the melody you mean. Plucked strings?

PianoMan51 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Now it's in my head too... [video:youtube] Hmm... Starting at 1:12, I think I found the inspiration for the original Star Trek theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moj Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Here's the great Johnny Costa's solo piano version of Holiday For Strings. It's on my "I-want-to-learn-this-arrangement list". Maybe one day I'll be able to play this. :idk [video:youtube] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked him up on Wiki, and it claimed Art Tatum dubbed him, "the White Tatum". Thanks for this. You don't have ideas, ideas have you We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.
