This is probably a bit bizarre for a first post, nevertheless;

I've got a link to a melody that sounds very familiar to me. It's been killing me for weeks now! I'm sure I've seen it in a film somewhere and I'd love to find out who composed it, I hope somebody can help:

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! It's "Funeral March of a Marionette" by Charles Gounod. We played a little bit of this for our Halloween concert, and I learned the first part for piano. A truly amazing piece, and if I may add, a good one to get stuck in your head.

Heh, I know the feeling, thank you so much for the info.

no fair!a halloween concert?
grrrrr.
all i get is christmas and spring concerts!

It was used in the 50s and 60s as the theme for the TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents
