Litening to some of Boris Plotnikov's playing has encourage and inspired me to try a little classical on the harp.
I just got this passage to the point I am not too emabarased to post it.
This melody has come out of the recesses of my memory and I can not remember where it comes from. I would like to learn the rest of it and was wondering if any of you recognize it and could tell me what it is.
I would also welcome any feedback on my playing. You guys seem to be honest but kind with players trying to learn.

Damn...the melody doesn't ring a bell at all. Nice staccato tonguing. Perhaps you played a brass instrument earlier in your life.

@FMWoodeye, you are correct and can pick out a fellow trombonist by ear even when they are not playing the trombone. I am currently playing in a brass quintet but we don't do any public performances, just reherse for fun. I find the harmonica playing helps my trombone playing and visa versa.
I expect I learned this melody long ago when playing trombone in a wind ensemble, concert band or orchestra. The melody has stuck but the name has not.
@paulbunyn, thanks for the kind remark.

I think I hear some "Reveille" and "Taps" in there too?

nice....hey don't be afraid of co-opting melody for your own nefarious purposes, but i don't hear anything obvious
speaking of nefarious, frank that bug is pretty annoying.. reminds me of a trip to denmark when all these little tiny bugs were crawling around, one got under my laptop screen and is preserved there till this day!

Frank,
I have a problem with ants in my office so it took a couple of tries at sweeping the ant off my moitor to realize it was virtual.
I do believe this is a fanfare so the similarity to bugle calls is not surprising. When I play this there is a sction in the middle that reminds me of the "Woody Woodpecker" fanfare.
I thought it was "Fanfare for the Common Man" but I was able to look that up and listen to it and it is nothing like this.

I could have sworn I commented on this. The first part sounds a little like the Scottish tune 'Hush Now, Ye Bairnie' but it's not quite it. There is a website you can whistle or hum (or presumably harp) a tune into and it compares it to it's database. It's pretty good with more popular songs, but more hit and miss with obscure stuff.
Frank, yeah, I heard the Taps intervals in there too. :) Intervals and patterns. Music is funny that way.

thanks for the link Nate,
Midomi could not recognize this tune , the William Tell Overture, the 1812 overture or Jesu Joy, but it did find Beethoven's 9th and I'll Get by With a Little Help From My Friends.
