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?

I don't see it.

You can try playing it out here (your clasp is in the key of Aflat):

tuberale, ironspike, charliep, I am no where near your music officianados status, with your timing, measures, beats, and all, but........

With Memorial Day coming up, and thinking of how I can't hear Taps and gun fire, without tears falling.
I was looking up info on it.

I sang this song every week, for about 7 yrs, as a child.
Thought and hoped, ya'll might appreciate this article, and it could possibly shed some light or direction, on your great find, and what appears to be, some kind of call to arms, or rest, or supper, or night?

Great post and link pat-tekker-cat Very interesting article

I sure got misplaced in the music officianado group

My wife's a musician and a music teacher. I can read music and make various noises with a trumpet, baritone or tuba. There's a big difference. ;-)

In scouts I got roped into being the bugler. I can tell you that for a simple tune Taps is darned hard to play when it's at a memorial service for someone, whether you knew them well or not. Maybe that's where the phrase "keep a stiff upper lip" came from?

 

[Tuberale]

I don't see it.

The phrase is in the chorus, Charlie P. Not shown in the verses shown.

Should start with the phrase "After the ball is over ..."

You're right: this is a very odd way to representing it. And the notes and timing are not exact to my ear. Should have been 9/8 or 3/4 time.

Like your wife, I taught music too: band for 5 years. Have perfect pitch. Played for French Horn and piano for 20+ years.

I'm still waiting to see Ironspike dancing to the tune on one leg!!!

Chorus:

 

[Tuberale]

Is there a bullfrog available for singing this? Really low. Almost beyond bass range.

Ya'll don't want the cat to howl it!

I'm looking at that sheet music, and then that written paper, I don't see it?

Get bbreezie back, tell her to try again, like a bugle call.
The cat used to do the trumpet too, but that paw/lip coordination, didn't stick well

Glad ya'll liked the article, I did too!
Don't tell me there ain't one bugler, bugle-er, blower, in the house!

It sure ain't exact. But it is similar. I've heard worse.

Everytime I see that short video below your post, I think of that poor cat. The sad look on his face. How did you get him to sit there? Did you use puppet strings?

BCH, it was a cat I copy and pasted from somwhere, I have no idea, how they made that cat do that stuff! Worse has been done to animals, in the name of science. So if they tied a few strings to that cat, and he survived, he may have learned a valuable lesson!
I dunno.............
I like to think he knows how to raise "holy hands, or paws", and can jam with the best of 'em!

Now, I still believe, this is a bugle call, to somthing, arms, rest, supper, clean the latreen, i dunno........
but, I gotta another link for ya'll, 25 bugle calls.
Them that hath music ears, get to work! I want this thing solved by Memorial Day!
Oops, guess the link would help, huh?

I don't know exactly what it is.

I am certain it has nothing to do with bugle, trumpet or cornet.

Notice that there is no bass or treble cleff signature on the band. Also, the C scale for trumpet and cornet at both concert Bb scales, same as clarinet and saxophone.

Can you make this link work to hear it for yourself?

Great link and thanks for the audible I wish the search function on the site could be narrowed down some, but thanks for the research tool

I don't recognize it but think it sounds ok, which is good cause it may be stuck in my head for awhile

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

I almost would want to swear, I recognize it, but I can't think from where, yet.
Gonna try to put it on the mini-tape recorder, if I can find a bugler this weekend(highly likely), gonna play it for them.
I don't like when things bug me like this! But, I usually, always, eventually, get my answers.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

The problem with a bugle, you see, is that it has no valves and cannot play flats or sharps. Most commonly they come in the key of G (that has been the "regulation" in the US since 1882 - but your jewelry piece isn't from the US so I can't say). Played a bugle, owned a bugle (now with a nephew), own a baritone, know this to be true. I played the notes in the Aflat key as written and it may be a tune (any combination of notes is a tune) but it's not one I recognize and not a bugle call.

Note that the tune did come close to "The Atlanta Hornpipe" according to the link above just on the intervals, apparantly. Cool link, by the way (don't forget the flats). Note that the key had to be raised to F - but that could be done on a bugle if you had enough "slide" to tune it. In fact, I'd say you could press charges in a lawsuit if you had written the Atlanta Hornpipe and wanted to sue the tie bar manufacturer. That's the tune - just written with the proper nomenclature. Great link Pat-tekker-cat! Hear it here. http://clawhammertuneoftheday.blogspot.com/2011/03/atlanta-hornpipe.html According to another site it's also known as "Quigley's Reel" and "Batchelder's Reel". Damn, if my boss new I could work this hard at something he'd expect more out of me.

I'll try this one

[pat-tekker-cat]

charliepal, ya link ain't linking. Drop the letter after link to next line, see if that makes it link. I did listen to it on that musipedia, but I'm too old, to learn to play a computer keyboard! LOL!
I noted Quigleys' Reel, but I kept having, Tom Seleck, pop into my head then.

Thanks for your mucho help, I won't tell the boss of all your efforts!

Oh yeah, Is there an attorney in the house, get started on that paperwork for the above mentioned suit!

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

I altered the link above and we'll see if that helps. The "e-letrik keyboard" showed the sheet music after the search but it's a .png file and it doesn't show the image here. Phoey. The image I added is in the key of D (first try was F). You can still see the first notes are the same as the tie-clip; just transposed to a different key.
