In Tune Mix Tape

[Ein Heldenleben]

Sorry, can't help, I can only think of the Simon & Garfunkel folk song. However, it does explain to me the origin of the pen name of one of the former members of this forum, Homeward Bound, and latterly Stillhomewardbound!

I’ve never heard the piece except as that theme tune.

Yep,That’s it Thanks. I almost got the opening notes right. A good piece of lightish music that - maybe the whole suite deserves a more frequent outing, R3 seem to be playing him a bit more these days,

Thanks . Strikes me his estate must have done very well out of Homeward Bound playing the piece 5 times a week for years, It must have been one of the most frequently played piece on R3 during the Seventies.

Yes, despite the sniffiness displayed in some quarters, at his best a most enjoyable composer, with a great talent for orchestration.

I'm glad to have found this thread, as I love the mixtape selection! I don't listen every day, but on those days that I do listen I use the BBC sounds app to catch up on those editions I've missed and thereby catch several programmes in one go. I find the mix eclectic and the interruptions minimal-rather like the old Third Programme was...... What comes around goes around/swings and roundabouts & other clichés!

It's a 30 minute mixtape there shouldn't be any need for interruptions at all - and there weren't when it started. If I have time to fill before the evening concert(not often as I don't find them of interest very often these days) I try and judge when the ad break will have been and gone before engaging with the mixtape.
