Greensleeves, which is an Irish folk aire. ;)

I say we recycle this thread for anybody else who has a similar affliction - a piece they can't name. I just saw a commercial on TV for Forrest Gump and realized that I had plagerized one of the themes I've used before, it was Forrest Gump's theme, I just didn't realize it!

ha ha yea this is greensleeves. your harmony is a tad off. it starts minor.

theres also a very popular rendition and better known irish melody with the natural sixth in the melody, not a diminished sixth. (or in the second choral progression it is a diminished 5th) you'll essentially understand when i say it's the 5th note of the melody raised a half step higher. i prefer this one over mozart's.

typically this song influenced a lot of pirate chants.

chopin really loved this song even though mozart created it.

here is a guitar playing mozart's version. greensleeves on guitar
