Name the tune?

[IronSpike]

Found this silver tie clip while on vaction in Denmark.

It looks like more than just random notes on the clip and I was currious as to whether anyone knows the tune?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

It might be a tune, but the syncopation is wild. One beat, six & 1/2 beats, three beats.

You ain't gonna dance to it with two legs.

I think it's primarily ornamental.

 

[IronSpike]

Thanks Charlie P.

Then maybe a short fast horn signal

 

[aka da Prof]

I'll ask my music readin' band mates this eve---maybe post on my utb site--- but it won't be long!

 

[Breezie]

I played it on the keyboard, but didn't recognize the tune. I also played it with different flats, and still couldn't get anything recognizable. Interesting find, Breezie

 

[aka da Prof]

gee, Breezie, it almost sounded like a military march, but in 12/16?? (3/4)--- maybe in Denmark it is!

I think Iron Spike may have had it right, basically. Perhaps it is a Military or Hunting "short horn-call" ... an audible signal, to be played on a Cavalry/Infantry bugle, or a Navy Bosun's whistle, etc.

I included a Hunting possibility because I've heard horn-call "signals" played during Fox-Hunting ...only on TV though. ;-)

 

[IronSpike]

Appreciate all the inputs

I've been practicing dancing to it on one leg

I'll get some better pics I'm with TheCannonballGuy on this one.

I think you're right

I have a piano, but don't know how to play it Any suggestions on how to obtain an audible of the note scale?

Not a dug up one I hope

No idea on the question

Audio note scale site?
See if breezie will call ya, and play it for you, record it? I sold my piano years ago, I can't pull the audio sounds outta my head for ya?
I'm thinking Tivoly(?) or something,? Taps? Some kinda call to arms?
I can't even FIND my music books? Sorry, but will be waiting for outcome.

Got one of them little kiddy xylophones?


Not sure if this helps or not?

Not helping me much, but I'm sure that's due to my lack of musical notes.

 

[IronSpike]

Here's a few more pics (the last one a bit blurry ).

I did find the piece near a lake in the woods.

 

[Tuberale]

I think this may be the song "After The Ball". Oddly written though. May be a European variation, too. Written differently here in the U.S. Usually in 4/4 time instead of 12/8 time. A correct time signature should have 12/8 on it: 12 beats per measure, 1/8th note gets one beat. Usually designated in 3/4 time.

Thanks Tuberale I'll check into it
