December 17, 2014 at 06:14 PM · Thanks so much for helping...I've been looking for days...I am very happy to find it...

You might want to try the SoundHound app like Joyce did in december, obviously it yielded good results!

January 28, 2015 at 03:07 PM · Hi Zina,

Thanks for the advice. I tried to find the song with Soundhound as you say. But the video is movie trailer so the program cound't find the song. I searched the song in that movie's soundtrack albüm

but I cound't find.

January 29, 2015 at 12:17 AM · Zina, how on earth did you work out that glcn's name is Gülcan?

January 29, 2015 at 07:55 PM · John, I watched the video to which she posted a link, and happened to see te comment she posted under her full name there ;-). No supernatural powers, alas.

January 30, 2015 at 12:23 AM · Thanks Zina, I've found it and am gratified to see that after seeing her first name in your previous comment I guessed her surname correctly (Actually, I'd have been very surprised if I'd got it wrong).

Your first name exists as a word in Turkish. One dictionary (Langenscheidt, I think) says it CAN mean "Bumblebee". Keep it at that.

January 30, 2015 at 12:56 AM · Gülcan Han1m, I looked up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_%26_Isolde_(film) and then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Dudley . It seems to me possible that the tune is original to the film, but of course one cannot be certain. The harmonies are reminiscent of Vaughan Williams.

January 30, 2015 at 10:10 AM · Gülcan Han1m, I think the MELODY has a bit of a resemblance to that of Biz Garibiz Bu Dünyada (Number 168 in Tanr1'y1 Yüceltelim). You might know other tunes that it might resemble more closely.

(Sorry for the odd spellings in this and the previous post - Violinist.com doesn't reproduce all unicode characters {and to modify it to do so would cost us}. Atatürk should have used Ä/ä {pronounced as in German} instead of E/e for words like Yedi, leaving E/e {pronounced vaguely like as in French} free to use instead of the dotted-I/dotless-i, X {pronounced like Chi in Cypriot Greek} instead of the tailed S {except that the Kurds might not have liked it, but I think they might have got over it - It's chickenfeed compared with other things they've had to put up with over the years}, and G instead of Yumuxak-G, at the cost of having to write words like gagga, egge, eggemen, and even more infrequently degggin - But it's too late now)

February 1, 2015 at 11:22 PM · Hi Mr. John

Thanks for helping. I looked up IMDB's website for tristan and isolde movie. Name of the songs written in the soundtrack section. Probably the song's name is "plainsong" performed by Brian Gulland. But I cound't reach the song. (Sorry for my English)

February 15, 2015 at 12:01 AM · Gülcan Han1m, do they play like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haZ70VGFQT8 (referred to in the "Tone-wide vibrato" discussion) around Denizli, or is that more mountain kind of music - Mind you, I don't hear a shrillpipe!
