Instrumental tune CLASSICAL?

[frd2dy]

Bit vague im afraid,imagine a fast ticking clock in the background,and flute being played,an upbeat song,and used in quite a few kids tv programmes.

Thanks for all efforts.

Just wondering if it's something from Peter and the Wolf by Prokoviev?

[factor-fiction]

My first thought was the start of Mouldy Old Dough but I doubt it's that

[Jonathan-Joe]

Could you name any of the programmes that have featured this tune?

[Philtaz]

Is it 'classical' or more of a crossover-techno type track?

[Mortartube]

Is it this? May be a modern reworking.

[frd2dy]

No none of them so far,wish i could be more help,its a tune i know everyone will know as soon as you hear it,i cant remember what tv programme i heard it either :(

A bit of a long shot , but could it be this Mike Oldfield tune ?

[frd2dy]

no,the ticking sound in the background is a bit faster than this one,im beggining to wonder if in fact it is a classical piece.

[emmie]

was it on British tv childrens shows, recently? as you say a bit vague, and there seems to be loads of music featuring ticking clocks.

[Meerkatdawg]

Could it be the 2nd Movement of haydn's clock symphony? I'd post a link but I can't do it on iPad.

[frd2dy]

No not haydn either,i am trying to put a badly whistled home-made riff on youtube at the moment.

[argorstran]

I'm wondering if it might be "Portsmouth" by Mike Oldfield -

[sddsddean]

You are thinking of Gurney Slade by Max Harris used in Vision On

[frd2dy]

Gurney Slade .......YES!!!!!

Smashing,thanks to everyone who tried to help.
