famous but havn't got a clue.....

[s8t5hx]

I've recently had a tune in my head. Can't for the life of me think where I have heard it but its there...

Anyway its a classical/romantic/renaissance etc... piece and its always used for adverts or anything with aristocracy, royals, anything posh.

Anyway, I know this is really going out on a limb but if anyone has any ideas who or what it might be, I know there are a lot in this category but if someone gets my drift and knows the type of music I mean and the things it is used to advertise ie. posh houses etc.... then let me know

Thanks very much

Handel's Water Music is often used for these sorts of clips on the TV.

Could it be that?

[Aschenbach]

Pachelbel - Canon?
Vivaldi - Four Seasons?

Handel's piece is also on this page

I know these both and they make sense to my answer but they're not it :(

I can't think which advert it is but I'm sure it was to show a really posh house/mansion off.

de de de de....
de de de de...

shame i can't hum the tune to you...

I think its a trumpet playing the main melody (or could be violin, I can't think which at the moment :-( )and a bass string instrument playing the background notes

Sorry i can't give any more...

Have you tried Handel's "Zadoc the Priest"? That was used in the coronation and is often used on television. Although that has a choir coming in so I'm probably wrong

Beethoven's 5th Symphony famously starts 'der der der der....der der der der'

this would be the only other one I can think that is regularly used in advertising

These again all are familiar and match my description, however the music is more upbeat than these pieces.

Thanks for your answers, they are much appreciated...
