Hey everyone i'm after the name of a sax piece lisa simpson performs with bleedin gums murphy at the end of an episode where they are standing on a bridge.
the theme goes something like D C B A G A, D C B A G E, D C B A G A A A A E, E C B A G A B A

If anyone can give me the name of this tune i'd appreciate it.

Sorry, there is no name.
The music in the episodes is composed by Alf Clausen. But none of them have names and none of them are complete pieces. They are unique to the episode itself. And what you hear is what you get.

Thanks for the response, if that is the case does anyone have a transcription any better than my approximation above? Cheers

Are you thinkin gof the scene where Bleedin Gums is up in the clouds looking down at Lisa and she is standing with her back to us looking up with her green sax in her hands?

Songs in the key of Springfield episode?

<Added>

And do it you want it for Alto, Tenor, or Baritone saxophone?

yeah i don't really remember which episode, I'm pretty sure it's played when Lisa and Bleedin gums are on a bridge at night at the very end of an episode. Ill just have to find the episode and transcibe it I think. The above i only did from memory as a student of mine wants to learn it. If I get it done I'll post it on 8 notes. cheers

<Added>
