Honored to have been chosen for the first Name That Tune submission of the newsletter. I will say, I did not know of the animated film connection when I submitted this.

Also, the Rimsky-Korsakoffee House brings back memories. Hope Mendelssohn's is successful.

Alright I'm going to get the ball rolling with name that tune. Obviously, the feint is that it's a super-Baroquey piece but it includes CLARINETS (the Listener Jeremy special) or chalumeaux or whatever these things are, which would be anachronistic with the time period.

Stylistically, this strikes me as Handelian, but I think my guess is going to be Vivaldi, partially because of our discussion on last week's podcast about “Vivaldi's Women”. The “Nisi dominus” included a movement that had some wonky old pre-clarinet.

Vivaldi concerto grosso for two oboes and two clarinets? Joey's hint was of no help to me whatsoever.
