I have a musical theme going through my head and I don’t know what it’s from. I don’t think that it’s from a song. It’s sounds majestic and it’s like a soundtrack in a Western movie from the 50’s or 60’s. I can see the cowboys and the wide open spaces. Could be from a TV show. The melody is: E\_G\_\_\_\_A\_G\_F\_C\_\_\_\_E\_G\_\_\_\_A\_G\_F\_D\_\_\_\_ (A rough attempt at the rhythm.) After repeating the first phrase, I think that there’s something like this: C\_EED\_C\_CEED\_. Any idea? ---

That’s the theme from [The Magnificent Seven](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iteRKvRKFA), by Elmer Bernstein, I believe. Wait for :24 and you hear the theme. ---
