Classical Music Question

you know when you see a sunrise in a cartoon, often there are birds chirping and then soft classical piece plays?

similar to what is in the Pella Window commercial where the guy slams the window shut to drowned OUT that chirping & music?

its very soft classical.

my wife is looking for it to incorporate into a slide presentation for work.

any ideas where i might find at least a piece of it in an mp3 or wav. file?

i'm stumped

I believe it is called simply "Morning".

and wanted to make sure you got the credit for being first. :D

DUers simply ROCK! :hi:

Afternoon of a Fawn is what they usually play.

I'm sure it's out on the P2P networks.

JP knows.

that was my first thought too

Because then I am right, and I can do my "I knew something" dance. Click on the preview for the second track.

edit: nevermind, hold on.

OK, here we go:

And how often does a picture of Rodney Dangerfield show up? My answer would be, not often enough.

great point!

i'm telling you though. you can ask DUers ANY question and SOMEBODY will know the answer!

i have done this on MANY occasions and it never ceases to amaze me. i don't know why i bother to fumble around Google AT ALL!

In the past, cartoons and commercials seemed to default to the 6/8 section of Rossini's William Tell Overture to depict "morning" sequences (it features extended solo work for the English horn and the flute). However, it's not an "intro" to the overture. Rather, it's the third section of an overture that breaks into 4 large segments. This idyllic section follows the "storm" section and leads directly into the "Lone Ranger" part of the overture.

But nowadays, the "Morning" section of Grieg's Peer Gynt has become the default piece of classical "sunrise" music for the commercial world. When people hear it, they instantly imagine the towering fjords of Grieg's native Norway. They're then shocked to learn that the music, in fact, depicts Peer Gynt awakening in Arabia!

When I was a kid, all of the Elmer FUD morning scenes used the Rossini.

The one with the birds chirping is the opening of the William Tell Overture, the piece of classical music most quoted by cartoons. Listen for the storm music and the Lone Ranger music as well.

The one with the full orchestra swooping lines is "Morning" from the Peer Gynt Suite.
