Music Used In Bargain Hunt And Four In S Bed

[violaman]

There is a piano solo piece, in a ragtime style, also used extensively on Bargain Hunt and Four in a Bed. It is definitely in a modern,post 1950s style. It was used in a recent Bargain Hunt where Natasha Raskin Sharp was presenting a programme with a royal, commemorative theme (WI ladies eating scones!). I would love to get this sheet music for my partner's up-coming birthday. Help, does anyone know what this piece could be?? I have trolled the music of Motteram, but can't find this piece, so it must be by someone else.

Have you played some of Ethan Uslan's videos on YouTube?
I have played a few to see if they morph into what I would call suitable background music for BH - e.g.

When was the Bargain Hunt episode on?

[violaman]

Hi. Thanks everyone for your help. I have indeed managed to pinpoint the eposode on I-Player (however, it will be removed by Thursday).
It is SERIES 53: EPISODE WESTPOINT 12.
I can't get my version of Spotify to indentify it. Can anyone out there help?

Hi, 'The Winner'. Yes, this is indeed the episode, but I can't find any reference to identify the piece of music. Can you all listen to it (right at the opening)- please see who can be the first to identify this charming piece of piano rag music.

I put it up so everyone can have a listen. I'm just catching up on a tv programme and will come back to it later.

That was May 2019. Good old BBC repeat!

I took the few clear seconds of it and looped it in Audacity then Shazammed it.

I reckon there is enough info now to track down the dots.

Its not on his website!

There are sites that may transcribe it for you.

A friend has an app on his iPad - free, but a paid app on a Mac, but I can’t remember the name of it.

well done Tuvok. On here it's all about teamwork, and together we make a great team. I think as its incidental music though, its highly unlikely that sheet music for this piece will be available.

Are these links of any use?

What a great site! You have all been marvellous. I have tried to 'mark as best answer', but don't feel this is fair. I do thnk that you, 'The Winner' have done most to help, so (while poor as the proverbial church mouse) if you have a favourite charity, I would be willing to offer a modest payment to them, if you let me know what that would be. Looks like I can't obtain a print of this music, but at last I know what it is!
Many thanks and best wishes,
David

[violaman]

OH, 'Mark as best answer' is also a star!! Sorry.

[TheWinner]

David, that was a kind offer, but not necessary, this is a question and answer site and we love to help. Hope your partner enjoys your very thoughtful present.

Well done!

You might be able to download and print out the sheet music if you go musescore.com?

[TheWinner]

we tried that Hazlinny, but as it's only incidental music, there's no sheet music for it unfortunately.
