This is an odd request but I REALLY hope you can help...

I've been chasing a piece of music that I played in Junior High for years. I've posted it here, emailed it my local PBS station and ran it through online music identifiers with no luck.

This is me akwardly plunking out the intro... I'm not sure if it's in the right key but it's played by the violas and violins while the cellos and basses play an repeating one-note pulse.

Is there any chance at all that you know what piece of music this is?

Sounds like Phantom of the Opera to me.

It's not... it's also been suggested that it's a piece of Britton's "The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra" and it's not that either. :(

A lot of junior high orchestras play pieces specifically written for that level of education. It may be more obscure because of that. The school might still have the sheet music on file though!

I tried that as well but this was in 1985. The conductor had long since retired.
