What's the name of this again?

Hi,

I had this melody in my head I can't remember who's it is, and how it's called.

A midi file attached from the melody how far I can remember.

Heyy! That's very pretty. I think I'll steal it.

I know I've heard it somewhere before... Just can't place it. It's irish though, for sure.

AGH! I know that song....I can't quite recall it...the name's on the tip of my tongue!

I don't believe it's Irish....

It's by Mozart and it's called the red-cuffs sonata.

Damn, I want to hear it, but I can't find a download anywhere.

This is greensleeves.

ITS GREENSLEVES!!

Yep that's Greensleves alright.

Greensleeves, which is an Irish folk aire. ;)

I say we recycle this thread for anybody else who has a similar affliction - a piece they can't name. I just saw a commercial on TV for Forrest Gump and realized that I had plagerized one of the themes I've used before, it was Forrest Gump's theme, I just didn't realize it!

Oh, so it is Irish.....I didn't think it was...oh well....

You harmonized it differently though.

ha ha yea this is greensleeves. your harmony is a tad off. it starts minor.

theres also a very popular rendition and better known irish melody with the natural sixth in the melody, not a diminished sixth. (or in the second choral progression it is a diminished 5th) you'll essentially understand when i say it's the 5th note of the melody raised a half step higher. i prefer this one over mozart's.

typically this song influenced a lot of pirate chants.

chopin really loved this song even though mozart created it.

here is a guitar playing mozart's version. greensleeves on guitar

Hmmm, I was told Henry 8th created it, mind you that was by my cousin who was 9, so I did doubt that a tad...

Yes, it's in fact a likely possibility.

Greensleeves, which is an Irish folk aire.

It's ENGLISH, and the word is "air".

And no-one is sure who "created" it...

Oh, I have a lovely recording of it, it's guitar and flute and shakers, great to fall asleep to. I'll upload it if anyone wants it... I have no idea who performed it.
