Sad music theme played on Remembrance Day

[Elite Master]

On Remembrance Day this year they had this sad theme music play on the radio. I'm not sure which radio station it was, but its pretty well known emotional music, I'm pretty sure its been used in motion picture films too. Does anyone know what its called?

Nope. It went for 2 or 3 minutes, and there were no lyrics, and it wasn't the Australian anthem or apart of the post with the trumpets. Like I said, the sad theme music has been used in movies before as well.

Was it a purely piano piece? Or did it have a lot of instruments?

I'm just going to take some wild punts here....

Some good music there, but no none of those is the musical theme I'm looking for. I appreciate how much you're trying to help though.

There was some violin in there as well as piano, and I'm assuming the musical piece is from the 2000s..

It wasn't "Everythings ****ed" by The Dirty Three was it?

No.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

No.

Oh well it was obviously Mark Knopfler "Going Home" from the "Local Hero" soundtrack.

Couldn't be anything else.

I guess it rules Rammstein out?

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy? Guess not



O.K. It will be this, then

You're the man, HARKER that is probably it.

Btw, while you're in the hunting mood......there's a piano piece similar to Satie's that is done by one of the classical masters, that I just can't name/find. Would you be able to sniff out what it could be? It's not a game, I just can't seem to find it anyway. It's often played on ads or in scenes on tv, but before I can SHAZAAM it, it ends. Only the first 10-20 seconds ever gets played. It's VERY similar to Satie's as posted in this thread.

That's going to be hard, given I don't watch TV.

In the Hall of the Mountain King....maybe?

It won't be this one but Japan's 'Night Porter' is similar to Satie's Gymnopedie No.1.
BTW: Gary Numan did and electronic version called Trois Gymnopedie.....which wasn't bad

 

[HARKER]

Debussy maybe? Claire de Lune

Beethoven. Fur Elise? ............. I don't know

 

[Exe Gesis]

HARKER

Thanks for trying. Rather than think of TV, think....

It's just piano, but it's desperately sad like Satie's opening to Gymnopedie no 1. Similarly minimalistic.

 

[HARKER]

Needle in a haystack. Everyday?

Max Richter - Vladimir's Blues?

Could be a commercial artist for all we know.

Here's the best ad and music I've ever seen.

YES! Thats it! Adagio for Strings. Thank you HARKER.
