  • Isn't that the "lonely the bell in the old tower rings song used in classic Disney cartoons? (i.e. in "Clock Cleaners", when Goofy tries to clean the clock's bell)

  • It could very well have been used by Disney! It's originally an old (turn of the century) song about lovers losing their lives in a sea storm. They are unable to hear the ringing of the lighthouse bell and are killed in a storm, but are then peacefully "asleep in the deep" together. They don't write 'em like they used to.

  • It's sailors, not lovers who are lost at sea in the song. It's a German art song from 1912 and the original title is 'Des Seemanns Los.' Listen to Thurl Ravenscroft sing it on another video here if you'd like to hear the words in English.

  • Ah ha! Thanks for the new info!

  • I'm playing this solo on my tuba for "Solo & Ensemble".

  • @hugodraslik That is interesting. The source I used as the basis of my statement is obviously not correct. Other more reputable sources I have checked after receiving your reply confirm that Lamb wrote the words and Petrie wrote the music. So you really cannot say this piece of music was written by Arthur Lamb unless you are referring specifically to the lyrics. Since this video is an instrumental piece it would be correct to say that it was written by W.H. Petrie.

    This is not true. It´s not from 1912, but from 1897, and it´s not German song, because it was written by British, Arthur Lamb.

  • would u or could u play the rest of the selection? it is so mellow and calming and i wanted to see how u handeld the rest

  • Very nice, mellow and cinemagraphic. Be sure to check out my musical comment "Pachelbel Tuba" Or our group in "Tuba Funeral March"

  • Cool, I've heard that tune in Disney cartoons before, and wanted to know if it was that same tune.

    I've heard it in "Mickey's Amateurs" (at the very beginning), and "Clock Cleaners" (when Goofy's trying to clean the clock's bell) Both times it never gets past the first line.
