Quick. Help me identify this classic tune.

I need to know the name so I can try and download it. I'm thinking die Zauberflöte, Magical Forest, and Peter and the Wolf, but I'm probably way off.

[Dole]

nnngg......I know it, I know it! Its used so much on TV and radio here...I think it may well be peter and the wolf.

[Carnivore]

Definitely Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.

[FS]

yes! excellent, thanks.

[Zomboid]

I realize it's overkill now, but I wanted to state that I, too knew it was peter and the wolf

[Mike]

More specifically it is Peter's theme and it gets played by the strings and the french horns.

[Perndog]

And that was so horribly out of tune..my poor ears..

The horns played the wolf theme

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

It's Peter and the Wolf, more specifically, Peter's Theme, played by the strings and the french horns.

They ALSO play Peter's theme.

[Perndog]

I'm listening to it right now. I hear not a single horn until the wolf is mentioned.

If you really want me to, I can find a scan of the score that shows the horns tacet during Peter's theme.

There's no reason, orchestrally speaking, for the horns to come in for Peter, who has the entire string section. Please, give Prokofiev a little more credit.

We are ignoring the fact that this is FS's triumphant return. :/

[Perndog]

I thought FS's return was celebrated in another thread.

[AChimp]

I don't read everything!

[ScruU2wice]

wait where is this thread you speak of?

It's in the March, Perndog. I have the score, I also have the recording of me playing it in the Boulder Symphony. I know what I'm talking about, I'm an orchestral violinist. I'll make a short wav of the brass coming in at the beginning of the March, if you really want it.

Oh really? Then why did he bother to write this? Too bad he's not around so that some band geek can set him straight. I just figured I'd put this up since it's convenient for me now, and it won't be later.

Yeah, poor recording quality I know. I did it by holding the CD player up to the comp's mic.

I forget exactly, but I am pretty sure each character only has one instrument. Like the duck was clarinet or something, and the hunters were the drums-- so are you sure peter gets the whole strings section?

Pardon me, I didn't listen to the whole thing. My snotty orchestration comment was about the parts when the strings *were* playing Peter, and I thought you meant both sections played it at once.

You win.
