FabSwingers.com forum: The name of that Classical song

Hi everyone. This may be a bit of a long shot .....

I’m trying to figure out the name of a song that I kept seeing on the ‘Classical’ music Chanel about 15-20 years ago.

The music video was of circus performers and the community spirit and rehearsals..... The bit I could remember was there was a man with a large moustache juggling with cannon balls, etc.

It’s a really nice song, but I can’t find out what it is/was called and it’s been bugging me for years.

If anyone can guess the song, I’d really appreciate it...

I think it was on one of the free sky channels called ‘Classical’.

The music video just showed the circus and the community and what the circus performers.

It was such a good song, but it’s so frustrating not knowing what the song was called lol.

When you say "song" do you actually mean something that is sung, or do you mean in the Apple sense which any kind of audio?

Are you describing an advert or a music video or something?

You might want to try Parson's Code to get it. I can explain if you want.

Nearly all classical excerpts are as they should be. Also theres a limited amount that most people will recognise.

So was the singer Male or female?

Was the accompaniment an orchestra, or piano?

Did the song sound like an all out opera or something more refined?

What language was it sing in?

It wasn’t from Moulin Rouge was it? “Come What May“? or “Your Song” With a clip of the film showing all the circus peeps? Would fit the timeline. Although not classical music.

Or it could be Audi’s Clown advert featuring “send in the clowns“ by Lisa Hannigan, but that is more recent.

There were no words or lyrics as such. It was more orchestral with a lot of harmonising.

Try the humming chorus from Puccini Madame Butterfly.

Do you remember the tune? There is a way of searching for it if you know the tune.

I remember the channel, basically MTV for classical fans. They often would have music from the movies on it.

Unfortunately I cannot help with the search though
