Question
This is a follow-up on the following previous question:
I have recorded a piece of music using my son's cassette recorder in the late 70's or early 80'. The cassette was damaged during floods and a number of other natural disasters but I could salvage some parts of the music. I Think the piece was recorded in a famous church but I am not sure. I don't know anything about url's on the web and want to know if there is another way the get the mp3 or part of it to you for possible identification. Your help will be greatly appreciated as this piece of music has great sentimental value to me.
Ruben
I have been able to create the required url:
http://www.errolsworld.com/Old%20Music.mp3
I hope that it works.
Thank you again
Ruben
You mp3 played just fine. Good for you!
As to what this piece is, I have no idea.......BUT I have forwarded the URL to two friends who may be able to help us. When I hear from them, I'll log back on and write you a "revised" answer. You'll get notice of that via email.
It may be something by Vangelis. I was thinking "Chariots of Fire" movie.
The mystery continues!

2-23 update from one of my buddies:
If not Vangelis, then it could be from some 80's movie score.
For a moment I thought I heard a panflute and thought "Zamfir."
I don't recognize it at all. I'll pass it around.
will keep you updated!

>>*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****<<: I do not answer questions marked "private." I don't want to type the same thing to someone else later if I typed it to you already! If you mark your request "private," I will send it back to you requesting you to remove the "private" flag. Thanks for your understanding. Remember, I'm a volunteer.
My answers are not toss-offs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it.
I have many requests to identify a piece of music. If I can't identify it, I will tell you (1) what composer I think it is; (2) what composer or composers I think it is not; (3) what style period, genre, etc. I think it is or is not. And give you any other help I can to help you find the answer.
Please find a clear clip. In the interest of good computer hygiene, I will not download a clip. Nor will I go to a site where I must "register" in order to hear the clip. Please mount the clip on a public site for which you can give me a direct URL. Thanks for your understanding in this. Remember, I'm a volunteer!
Students, I do NOT do homework questions. The purpose of answering questions on assignments is not only to learn the information, but to LEARN HOW TO FIND IT. Re-read chapter. Look in the index. Look in the references given at the end of the chapter or elsewhere in the book. You also probably can find the answer using Google. Don't be lazy. I wouldn't be doing you any favors by doing your homework for you! I already know the answer. You don't. You need to find it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you need to learn HOW to find it. That's the whole purpose of education, after all!
