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.
Yeah its the christmas carol 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman'

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 :(
Crap, so it is. Oh well, thanks for the help.
hehe, that's a pretty well-known carol...Simon and Garfunkel made a nice cover btw

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