Peice of music used (I think) during Sunday Love Songs on Radio 2...?

Question

I can't for the life of me think of a way of describing it without humming it at the screen but...

I always remember it as being in the background as someones story was being read out on air. Like, I was once in love and we lost touch for 40 years and now we're back together....

I know it sounds really far fetched but can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I think it's from Romeo & Juliet by Mozart?

Anyway the slot on Sunday love songs is called Lost Loves - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/sunlov... and you can contact the show via http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/sunlov...

Hope this helps

Answer 2

It was Simon Bates actually, and the music was Romeo and Juliet (Of course, I hear you say) by Nino Rota

The show was call 'Our Tune' and I am sure it was on  the air on a Saturday

So, either I have got it wrong, or you have!  I'll find a download and see if it is the correct tune

You do the same and let me know if I am right.

Man, I feel old remembering that!   Mind you, I am old   lol

Addendum

  This is the correct tune and composer, now that I have played it I am certain that I am right. Not that I was ever in any doubt!

Answer 3

Yeah,think that was Mike Reid's slot a few years ago but don't know the name of the tune. You could always email Steve Wright and ask...............

Answer 4

use the play again feature or email the show via the web for best answer
