Subject: Name This Tune From: Wincing Devil Date: 19 Jul 00 - 05:33 PM The Cuckoo clock in my hall plays a music box tune after it strikes on the hour. It sounds like part of a pleasant little folk song, but I wish I knew the title. I've recorded it and you can hear it at <http://www.WincingDevil.com/cuckoo.wav>. It's somthing I've been wondering about for years. (The "SNAP!" sound at the end is the cuckoo's door closing!) Wincing Devil |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Snuffy Date: 19 Jul 00 - 06:03 PM Sounds like a Viennese waltz to me, but I can't remember the title. Perhaps "Wiener Blut" Wassail! V |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Mark Cohen Date: 19 Jul 00 - 11:48 PM Pretty sure it's a Johann Strauss waltz, but I also can't remember which one. I also can't find my CD of Strauss waltzes. I used to play it and waltz my infant daughter around the room to try and get her to sleep. I'm sure someone out there can enlighten us, so I can slap my forehead and say, "Of course!" Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Sorcha Date: 20 Jul 00 - 06:07 PM slaps head, says, YES! Well, at least we knew it was by Strauss.............duh.. |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Wincing Devil Date: 21 Jul 00 - 11:42 PM Someone suggested that I look on the clock and see if there was any indication as to the title. No, I says to myself, that would be too low tech, too simple... TMALSS, "Rosen am dem Suden" was stamped on the back of the clock! Boy, do I feel like such a biscuit! |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: The Shambles Date: 22 Jul 00 - 05:16 PM My wife looked for ever the find a cookoo clock to bring back from Switzerland.
On returning home she was horrified to find one exactly the same in a small jeweller's shop where we lived in Lerwick, Shetland Isles. Of all places. It fell apart........ |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Jul 00 - 06:24 PM You'll find a MIDI of "Roses from the South" (Rosen aus dem Suden) here (click). It's Zipped, so you have to download and UnZip it. Click here to download a Zipped file with Seven Strauss waltzes, including "Roses from the South. Hmmm. Can't find one that's unZipped. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Mark Cohen Date: 22 Jul 00 - 10:30 PM Thanks, MTed and all. I wouldn't have gotten it, so I don't have to slap my head this time. My personal learning disability is that I can never tell which tune goes with which Strauss waltz. Now, if they had words... Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Name This Tune From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 22 Jul 00 - 10:48 PM There's an unzipped midi of Roses From the South here. And Joe...I've had trouble with playing midis ever since I upgraded with the last HearMe requirements. ie, the background music on the above page won't shut up so I can click on a midi link...also some pages have an echoing midi like it's sending out two signals. Is this worth pursuing in personal messages? Anybody else had problems? Mary |
