Ah, so THAT's what the tune is.... by esbita 2010-03-01 18:58:23
Remember Civilation II? Remember the piece that accompanied the multimedia bit for the Isaac Newton's College wonder? Nice little string piece?

It *nagged* at me that I didn't know/couldn't find out what the piece was. I knew it was Vivaldi because it was a textbook example of his style (and 7 years of flute lessons, you play a LOT of Vivaldi). But I didn't know which piece. And it drove me nuts, since Vivaldi wrote a ton of stuff... so narrowing it down in pre-multimedia Internet days was not easy.

It only occured to me NOW to look it up on Wikipedia...lo and behold it is on (buried in) one of my classical music CD's.

So now I have Vivaldi's Concerto For 4 Violins & Strings in B minor playing...and it is beautiful :-D
