I have a reasonable classical collection but this piece eludes me and I have memories of hearing it as a radio signature tune in Ch when I was a child.

Although i wasn't around back then, it reminds me af the AM station we were subjected to in the car with my grandparents

614317 2007-11-24 23:30:00 I don't think the YA and YC stations had signature tunes as such.

The Sunday morning request programme (YA, or was it ZB?) always played "Remembrance", by Gil Dech (discover.natlib.govt.nz/logicrouter/servlet/LogicRouter?PAGE=object&OUTPUTXSL=object.xsl&pm_RC=REPO04DB&pm_OI=186&pm_GT=Y&pm_IAC=Y&api_1=GET_OBJECT_XML&num_result=2).

The YAs played music perfomed by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, conducted by Neville Marriner. He has been knighted since, probably not for providing the NZ YC playlist. The stuff they play much of the time today makes me wish for a return of the AofSMitF.

It is a common piece, used in a recent tv ad so I'll try to note the ad and post again if I do.
