All:

I am a filmmaker from Ontario, Canada, who specializes in using music from the Commodore 64 to score several of my projects.

One I've recently obtained permission to use is the arrangement of a public domain piece, but neither the original arranger or myself are able to identify the melody, in question (as he'd transcribed it in 1984).

He says it's a popular classical piece, and that I should try to contact classical music forums to obtain my answer.

I thought I'd make it fun and turn it into a contest, of sorts.

I've extracted the song from the game, and posted it online for public consumption. The link is below:

The first person to e-mail the address in the video and provide the song title and composer gets a 'Special Thanks' credit in the video I end up featuring it in.

I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I thank you,

I told told by a colleague that this may be a Minuet by Bach.

Which one, he is unsure.

I hope that helps.

That is almost certainly a minuet. The first few notes sound very similar to Minuet in G, which i would guess means its Bach

To the two posts above:

Harvard prof (and world Bach authority) Christoph Wolff wrote me a few weeks ago, to tell me it's not Bach (and definitely not his Minuet in G).

Nice try, guys.
