Something is bothering me. Music in a video game ( an arcade classic ) I play through MAME.

I think I hear für Elise ? at 2m22 but also something else.

100% correct! Für Elise

but cant recall the words.

Exactly! Its almost there ...something 'field' something 'grass' something something ..Garfunkel! ...Noooo ..not that one ..either
something ..else :?

Found it.

I googled what music is used in the video game Phoenix, and that brought me to a WIKI about the game.

It confirms what we already knew, Für Elise, but also names the other part.

It seems we don't know who composed it

Romance de Amor also known as Spanish Romance by an unknown composer.

"Romance Anónimo" (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar, also known as "Estudio en Mi de Rubira" (Study in E by Rubira), "Spanish Romance", "Romance de España", "Romance de Amor", "Romance of the Guitar", "Romanza" and "Romance d'Amour" among other names.

Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. It has variously been attributed to Antonio Rubira, David del Castillo,Francisco Tárrega, Fernando Sor, Daniel Fortea, Miguel Llobet, Antonio Cano, Vicente Gómez, and Narciso Yepes. The Anónimo (anonymous) part of its name has been incorporated over the years due to this uncertainty. The question of authorship has probably been propagated by three main reasons: the lack of claim by its true author, the desire to avoid paying copyright fees, and the desire of publishing companies to claim the lucrative copyright of this world-famous piece.

Now I am still searching for which version I know best.
On this search I found this, a more modern version

This however sounds much more like how I remember it:

Now I can sleep again.

Should be safe to cover in LMMS, since they don't know the composer they can't sue us

I have it down to

This is getting out of hand, now I need to try it.

I immediately recognised the song, that you pointed out, from 3:23 secs.
Now that tune is classic.

Believe it or not, even I was surprised to find out, that alot of the
old video games, had famous, classical tunes in them.
There is old tetris type game, that has the famous Christmas Carol,
"What child is this", playing in the later levels. Level 10 or 11.
Even I was surprised, to hear that carol. It was so unexpected.

I have done some searching and found sheet music, which for now I won't use.
Will start with what musicbear gave me.

It did answer my question if it was 4/4. I was thinking it was not because I failed to count 1 2 3 4 with the song.
It also reminds me a a waltz. 123 123 123


Two opinions, its either 3/4 or 6/8

The math guy in me smiles,

So we set lmms to 3/4 ( or 6/8, although I am not sure this matters in LMMS and if 6/8 is even there )


I am still confused about why I wanted to start singing along, but I wonder if this piece is responsible for that:

Try to remember

I have to admit being high when I did it, but suddenly started to sing along to above melody with these words.

I am pretty sure its not the same song, though it sounds at least inspired by anonymous romance.

Then there is the bpm, one piece of sheet music said 120. That sounds a bit fast.
I have a "find the bpm" website book marked so we will see.

Any time signature can be made in LMMS

...Well im 'confounded', because i was dealt with a trick of the brain, that is sooo w e i r d -But also demonstrate how memory may work.
Doing daily kitchen duties with brain on 'Off' -i suddenly found myself with the words 'Du er den ända' (you are the one), and i emediately knew why i have recognised 'Romance Anonym' in the first place !

Crazy..

Yes there is something there

Then there is the bpm, :: 120 sounds fast.

Yes it does ~ 80'ish i would guess...
