Oh is THAT what that is! It's absurdly familiar to those of us of a certain generation as a signature tune but I'd never ever stopped to wonder what it was before. It was just always there from about birth onwards as part of the scenery. I never really thought of it as needing to be composed by anyone before.

Can anyone help with what it was the the signature tune of? That's bugging me now and googling hasn't solved it. Because of the association I can only think of it as pure Middle England and about to be followed by a 1950s/1960s BBC voice, not French at all.  Which just goes to show ... something or other.

We'd all agree with that George, and we never go and find out what those pieces of music are, we just eventually find out. I was probably 40 before I found out Panorama's theme was from Sibelius Karelia Suite or Grainger wrote the Derry Song arrangement used by Alan Keith on Radio 2 for about 40 years!

The Karelia Suite was actually used as the theme tune for ITV's equivalent of Panorama, This Week.

Thanks Bobbyz  Smiley Roll Eyes whenyou get to my age.....

So we still need ideas for this remaining French piece.....

Sound clip No 2


it's from a movement of the second of two suites of 'incidental music' for a play. The second suite was published after the composer's death and, if I were to look into this more, what we hear in the clip may in fact be someone else's orchestral arrangement.....

With clues like that, it sounds like it should be from Bizet’s L’Arlésienne, but I’m not convinced!

The theme tune for Panorama used to be from the last movement of Rachmaninov's 1st symphony.

It is IGI! So even without identifying the part here is a

It's EntrActe II from the second suite, and, doing a quick search at Amazon, I see that it is rarely featured on CDs, but it is track 11 here


Thank you all for participating in a traditional name that tune quiz. No points, as Brucey would say, not in this game!

Recent messages delving into pop music and musical hybrids reminded me of a piece performed by a colleague arranger/bandleader, not associated with any classical music but it may appeal to members of a certain age (or from two ages.....)


What you will hear is, I suppose, an 'anachronistic' music arrangement in one style, of two tunes from another genre.


1. Name the tunes (the vocals make naming the first tune rather easy....)


The performance is in the style of a one-time popular artiste

2. Name the artiste whose style is employed

My colleague has permitted me to share this soundclip, it's 2 mins long (~2meg mp3), was performed/recorded in 1974.
