Listening to this piece of music makes me think I've heard someone singing words to it but I can't remember what it would have been called and who sang it.Can you help please?

Don't recall ever hearing any sung words to it, but it's been used in adverts and as backing music for various programmes and played on various instruments, so that's perhaps where you've heard it before.

If you look on the 'popular derivatives' section from Wiki it has been used as the base for quite a lot of things.

Andrew Lloyd Webber-ish - it's from one of the shows I think - he often 'borrows' from classical pieces - sorry I can't be more help than that.

[Vicasso]

The song is 'So deep is the night'

Thanks for that Vicasso that is the song, but I just feel I've heard it sung as an old old pop song (if you can call it that!) probably from the 50's.Gonna have a look at what prudie says.

Yes it is factor30 but I just found out Ken Dodd recorded it in the 60's and it was called So deep is the night, so looks like Prudie was right when she said it's been used as the base for quite a lot of things.
Thanks all, sorry I can't mark as best answer, I would have to mark you all and not sure if you can do that.

Tony Christie recorded an impressive version of 'So Deep Is The Night' back in the 80's. We played it at my dad's funeral.
