You all know the piece. The problem is me, a non-musician, trying to describe it in text. In my head, it’s:
♫ Do Re Me So Faaaaaaaa
Fa Me Re Do
Do Re Me So Faaaaaaaa
Fa Me Re Do ♫
What’s it called, and who wrote it?
In major or minor?
Theme from Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Weber?
You can record yourself humming it and share it with the rest of us here.
No, it’s a classic used in cartoons and old movies for like 80 years.
I think I know the bit you’re talking about. If I’m right, it’s ion a minor key, and is more like…
*La Ti Do Fa Miiiii
Mi Re Do Ti…
La Ti Do… *etc.
I’m trying to find it in a cartoon right now.
Or are you thinking
*La Do Mi La(up an octave) Faaaaaa
Mi Re Do Ti…
*
It doesn’t correspond to your solfege, but it does somewhat follow the contour. Could it be Mystrioso pizzicato?
That’s it!
Thanks.
.
Yeah, that’s it.
Never mind. Left the thread open too long.
