Classical Music Buffs... Name that tune???

[Snow Patrol]

Please look at the following video...
At approx 25 seconds in, music starts in the background...
You get about 10 seconds of it... Can anyone tell me the correct name of the musical piece?



Thanks

[Pervert]

Know the tune, but can't say with any certainty who the composer is.

[Snow Patrol]

Exactly... I know it too... But cant put a name to it! Some one was saying it was an 'aria' from an opera? But still no idea LOL

Thanks for trying though

I don't think it is a classical piece.

[Snow Patrol]

OK, its not 'proper' classical, but its certainly not 'modern' or 'pop' either...

Perhaps a better description might have been to say 'Operatic'...

Anyone else ?

[Steve R]

It isn't from an Opera either.

[Snow Patrol]

OK, thanks... At least its getting narrowed down a bit...

Just had a thought...

Was it possibly used in an advert for something at some point?

[Steve R]

It was a pop hit in the 1960s.

My best guess is that it was written by a German or Austrian and performed by a band or light orchestra - Joe Loss, for example.

A colleague is looking into the matter for me.

Mrs Rock tells me it is "Where the gentle Avon flows"(trad)
