I listened to Stewart's abc (from 17 Nov 05 - 10:46 PM. thanks, Stewart!) of the unknown tune. The tune has a "turn-of-the-(19th to 20th)century drawing room" feel to my ears. That is purely a subjective reaction - I can't document or justify it.

One thing - the fact that each part ends with those two half notes makes me wonder whether the tune started its life as a hornpipe. Just a guess!
