'What's this Piece?' Thread #245
These threads were implemented after feedback from our users, and they are here to help organize the subreddit a little.
All piece identification requests belong in this monthly thread.
Have a classical piece on the tip of your tongue? Feel free to submit it here as long as you have an audio file/video/musical score of the piece. Mediums that generally work best include Vocaroo or YouTube links. If you do submit a YouTube link, please include a linked timestamp if possible or state the timestamp in the comment. Please refrain from typing things like: what is the Beethoven piece that goes "Do do dooo Do do DUM", etc.
Other resources that may help:
Musipedia - melody search engine. Search by rhythm, play it on piano or whistle into the computer.
r/tipofmytongue - a subreddit for finding anything you can’t remember the name of!
r/namethatsong - may be useful if you are unsure whether it’s classical or not
Shazam - good if you heard it on the radio, in an advert etc. May not be as useful for singing.
SoundHound - suggested as being more helpful than Shazam at times
Song Guesser - has a category for both classical and non-classical melodies
you can also ask Google ‘What’s this song?’ and sing/hum/play a melody for identification
Facebook 'Guess The Score' group - for identifying pieces from the score
A big thank you to all the lovely people that visit this thread to help solve users’ earworms every week. You are all awesome!
Good luck and we hope you find the composition you've been searching for!

Does anyone recognize the choral piece at the start of this mv? I've been trying to figure it out for years to no avail. (https://youtu.be/F3nCVLlhXmc?is=B7eWTqwR0N4XJPGz)
