Title: Heard this before?
Post by: loominous on Mon 17/05/2004 07:39:00
I sometimes hear melodies in my dreams which I in the moment believe that I have written myself, but once I awake realize that I havn't.

Last night, however, the opposite happened. I heard a melody sung and I simply noted it as a traditional psalm or folk song, and payed no attention to it. When I woke up, the melody was still in my head, but by then I couldn't place it and I figured I must have made it up.

I created an arrangement for it that is very different from the one in the dream which was a sacral sounding choir arrangement, and if someone happens to recall it, please tell me from where:

The Music (http://w1.872.telia.com/~u87210460/Music/m_I_II_cl.ogg)

The Score (.mid file, not configured for listening) (http://w1.872.telia.com/~u87210460/Music/m_I_II_cl.mid)

Serious C&C is welcomed as well.

I don't recall it, but it seems awfully familiar. Like a song I've heard before, only with a few notes changed. By the way, it sounded really good.

Indeed it is, auhsor. It's a Christmas Carol, too. Which, notably, is wrong for this time of year. Quite puzzling.

I have had the same thing happen to me, though. I re-discovered Mozart's Symphony in G minor a couple of years back (I think I was about 15?). I was all happy, and then 15 minutes later I realised what I had done, and I became sad :(

Crazy. The exact same thing happened to me, around the same age too. Freaky  :o
