Please help, a piece of music has showed up again in a recent Christmas ad for Sainsbury's. It is all about fish (salmon I think).

This has been used on various ads for yars. I think it was on a car one about 5 years ago.

It sounds like its played on a xylophone.

Any help with a title would be much appreciated!.

Thanks
Dave

Is it "you shall have a fishy/on a little dishy" I think it is - it's an old folk song.  let me know if it is & I'll found out more about it.

Hi, unfortunatly its the tune from the first half of the advert that I'm after, thanks for the responses though, I suspect this may just be untitled stock music.

Thanks

Dave

Dave,

Is it the xylophone music you mean?.

I think it is 'Musica Poetica' by Carl Orff from Schulewerk.

It has appeared on a couple of adverts in the past, but also on the film 'Badlands' with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spaceck.

It's been bugging me too. However it turns out to be:

Carl Orff - Vier Stucke fur Xylophon (Keetman) - Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536) - Music fur Kinder III, Nr. 15 (1952)

There's a version by Hans Zimmer (He of Gladiator music fame) which is in the same style. I found the relevant information here:

Have fun.
