@GregKnightPiano, I don't know about the melody, but the words are in the Neopolitan Italian dialect.

[windex1234]

Is that in Montreal? 

[GregKnightPiano]

Thank you, MassiSking! Now I know I am not crazy :)

[GregKnightPiano]

Guys,

I love your performance. Absolutely beautiful.

Question: Are you aware that the instrumental melody from the middle section is taken from Hugo Alfven's "Swedish Rhapsody #1". About 7 minutes into the piece you will here this theme quoted exactly.

Is "Ninna nanna" a Swedish piece? Does it contain Swedish folk tunes? Just curious. It's sounds more spanish than anything ... but perhaps that's just the arrangement.

Thanks!

@GregKnightPiano Swedish Rhapsody? Melody did not seem like IMHO

[GregKnightPiano]

@Yoshaorlow

In the Pink Martini video, begin listening at timemark 2:15

Here's a video of the Hugo Alfven piece:

Sergiu Comissiona conducts Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody #1

I set the timemark to 7:26 … the melody is identical.

[Littlewhitelephant]

@GregKnightPiano That's is just a seemingly resemblance. Such "dejà eu"-effects are actually happening quite often. But, if you listen carefully you'll find a  difference in melody as well as difference in harmony and also difference in rythm (Pink Martini = tango).

[MassiSking]

@GregKnightPiano Yes it's true! I've check and in their wiki page Hugo Alfvén is credited... ;)
