Wagner

[karatant]

really sure it's Wagner.. but can't find it because I don't know the title- can anyone help? the piece begins two drum rolls in succession then it continues with rousing military brass signature,,,
Any help in identifying? Sorry to be so vague . . .

Could it be Siegfried's Funeral March from Gotterdamerung?

Hope the You Tube link works, if not search for it and see if itswhat you have in mind.

[bibblebub]

you need the full, non-mobile URL for it to work in AB

[tonyav]

Maydup, paste the YouTube link where it says 'Enter YouTube Link Here...

[Maydup]

I did that Tony i obviously have an ipad version? But thanks for reposting it for me and lets hope it is what karatant is looking for.

[tonyav]

Ah right, doesn't work with an ipad then, unless it works how bibblebub says.

[FrogNog]

you just have to take the m. out of the link for it to work.

[bibblebub]

the one that didn't work begins with m.youtube but the one that does work starts with www.youtube

I'm wondering if it's a piece by Gilbert and Sullivan:

[jim360]

Hmm... maybe AB doesn't like two videos in the same post?

Loudly let the Trumpet Bray, Gilbert and Sullivan.

Or, alternatively, The Thieving Magpie:

I give up. But the Thieving magpie has three drum rolls leading to a brassy opening, and is certainly the more often played.

Got to say a big thank you to all answerers. No luck yet however. I'm 90 per cent certain it's Wagner. - Two extended military snare drum rolls and then, at a medium tempo, heavy strident brass , notes being as follows :-
E BBB C# C# B. E EEE A A Ab.
It's driving me daft as it's a magnificent piece of music and I'd like to hear it more often.

As an aside, the idea of Wagner judging X Factor would show him to be less than a novice. I mean O.K., he was a nifty old tune smith, but come on! He could never fill Simons shoes! I mean!, he wouldn't have a clue as to what was going on! There, I've put Simon and Wagner in the same paragraph. . .
I've got a head-ache now. :/

ok everyone, thank you so much - I herd it by accident on Classic FM. and it's Rossinis Thieving Magpie. Enjoy,
