I don't speak, read or write German, but from what I've seen with names of compositions by German composers, my guess would be '<Something> and Student Waltz'.

Having said that, a quick visit to BabelFish gives me this: 'Fixed dance and Studenwalzer'.

Fixed Dance and Student Waltz

well well, I came up with party (or festival) dance & studenwalzer

I googled it and nothing came up except some topless Brazilian dancers!
I guess Delibes isn't associated with them

I speak a bit of German, and I would say it is "Party dances and (something) waltzes".

cagri · #**184** (**permalink**) May-07-2007, 22:09

thank you both, I think I shouldn't have skipped German classes in high school!
isn't Leo Delibes popular around here? I thought I would get an instant answer?

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like one of Brahms's Hungarian Dances. I'm only familiar with 3-4 of them. It definitely has what I call "The Hungarian Element", a short succession of notes that if found in any piece called "hHungarian".

Someone else probably knows what it is, just be patient

I'm sure it's not a Brahms dance. Sounds more like generic Czardas.

Here two links for recordings from the same orchestra:
Trisch Trasch Polka
The Lark AWSOME ! ! !

I am almost sure this is not one of Brahms' Hungarian Dances. So is this something that was composed by one guy of the orchestra? I really like it and I do not know how to look for it. Actually the file is called berki.mp3 and Berki is indeed a violinist (though I do not know if he is in 100-member gypsy orchestra).

I googled the original mp3 and found that Laszlo Berki is the conductor.
The work is probably a generic czarda...

Hi All!

Would be thankful if any one of you could help me find a piece of music.
It is a classical piece about a river. Starts off slow and builds and builds.
Excuse me for no other details, but that's all I can remember!?
Thank you!

Perhaps Smetana's The Moldau? It is, of course, about the famous czech river, and was composed by Bedrich Smetana.

Manuel!
That's it! Thank you so much! Just found a video on YouTube to confirm it.
I never would have remembered!
Best to you.

Since I was a kid I have heard this song, yet I do not know where to begin to look for it. Or who’s the composer. I was wondering if one of you members here could hear the song and recognize it and tell me by who its composed and preformed?

The only place i fouind the song to be playing is in some youtube movie.

I'm pretty sure the piece is from the film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and her Lover. It is called Memorial and the composer is Michael Nyman. You can listen to a soundbite of it here at amazon

Hope this helps.
