Frosty the Snowman and a hidden, secret melody

Do you think this little snowman decoration can help us today in my post?

I hope so, as I need someone to be the main character and present this little puzzle I have prepared for all of you. A musical puzzle, where Frosty the Snowman will be the protagonist.

It actually came to my mind today as I remembered that I should get back to practising again like I used to do until just a week ago. Then my hand was a bit tired, and I decided to let it rest for a few days and play the piano just in a normal way, not overdoing the studying. 😂

So, after a few songs I played today, I stumbled upon a very funny one, Frosty the Snowman. Not by chance, as I still need to work on my Christmas repertoire and this particular song has some tricky parts. It has an intro, then the main theme, the repetition, then the second theme and then a bridge which combines the intro and a tune that is coming from a completely different musical piece. After that part, we have the second theme again, then the main theme and an outro. Poor Frosty, he must be so confused with all these parts.

His song is so mixed up that, represented in a photo, it could look something like this:

I don't remember the exact moment I took this photo... I think it was by accident while I was light hunting this weekend in Valencia

I think we should help him by finding out what that strange part in the song is, ie from which musical piece it is taken and woven into the funny song. I took the freedom to mix up the song even more, so I started from the main theme, skipped directly to the part in question, and then went back to the second theme and continued until the end as it is written.

This video is coming to this new community called Hive Zagonauts. It was created by @bibana with the idea of using it for puzzles or games. We are also welcome to post our games, so why not, a musical puzzle this time! :)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


My question is: What is the music, the short melody taken from another musical piece that appears in the video, who is the composer, and what composition is it? I wrote the question in the video too, where the tune we have to guess starts.

What are the requirements and rewards in this game?

Just to have fun while helping our little snowman friend to find out the hidden melody woven into his funny song. 😉

Sort:  

Dvorak - Humoresque 🙃😉

That's the correct answer 🎶

Hmmm, this melody sounds so familiar buut I don't know, Shazaaaaaaam.... 😁
There's no need to telling you how talented you are, just wanna say thank you for this lovely video and for whole cute and holiday vibe. 🥰😍

Thank you, and thank you for letting us using the community. 😉 I hope this type of puzzle, a musical one, was ok. I was wondering how you made the word search puzzle?

This is such a fun twist on Frosty the Snowman! Love how you mixed the melody as it really gets the brain tuning in. :)

Yeah haha, Frosty was a bit mischievous or just mixed up, who knows 😂

No guess what the secret melody could be? 🤔

I am terrible at guessing tbh 😞

You can believe that while I was listening, I only saw the movement of your fingers: soft, slender, and rhythmic. Excellent performance. Best regards.🎄🎁

Thanks @nancybriti1, this was just for fun actually 😁, hace mucho que no grabo música 🎹🎶 como Dios manda jajaja
Gracias y saludos 👋

good luck with your quest :) my knowledge for clasical music ain't that good :)

Congratulations !!
You have been manual curated and upvoted by @ecency



Did you know that @stresskiller is also a witness now ?

Well, at least you guessed right that it is classical music 🎶 😉

!PIMP
!UNI
!BBH

I'll tell you tomorrow 😎

It's a bit late now but I'll be back tomorrow with the result. Promise.

As Stresskiller assumed too, it can be something from the field of classical music 🤫😉

Good night then 😴 😇

I give up 😂
I thought I could use Shazam to cheat but .... 😬🤣

I think Shazam couldn't find out the tune 😆
It was a short part of the Humoresque composed by Dvořák 🎶

Good evening @mipiano, I wasn't familiar with this community, so thank you for introducing me to it. Regarding the solution to the riddle, I'll be back tomorrow. If there's no answer, I'll consult the AI. That's cheating, isn't it? 🫢

I hope you have a great night. Best regards. 🤗

Good evening @enraizar :))
I think the community is quite new, a few days ago I searched for the words in the post that the admin published and then I learned we can also use the community for our games and puzzles.

Maybe while you sleep, the solution will come in your dreams so you will know it in the morning already 😀

Have a great evening and night as well!! 💤

Thank you so much, @mipiano.

I'll take a look at the community; you never know... maybe it will suggest a post for me.

I also wish you a lovely afternoon and evening.

Good night, sleep/dream nicely, and with music 😉

Good morning @mipiano, I wish you a great day.

Good night, sleep/dream nicely, and with music 😉

Muchas gracias!!

Good morning @enraizar.

I hope you slept well and the answer for the melody was told you in your dreams ✨️ 😁

Gracias, my day should be filled with practicing. And what about your one? Primer día de trabajo después del puente?

Good morning again, @mipiano. I converted the video to MP3 and uploaded it to chatgpt to see what it could tell me. Then I checked an app (Shazam) and it gave me two incorrect results. I'll try again later if I can think of another way to find the author and title.

Regarding work, I start this afternoon. I'm currently preparing the sessions and also browsing Hive.

I hope you have a happy and productive day. 😃

These challenges reminded me of my time as a teacher where my students would search for songs and of course I had my methods to find out which song it was. 😂

Let's see if my research is right the song is ....

The First Noel the Angel Did Say

Could it be?

I don't know about songwriters.... sorry... Did I help?😌

That must have been fun with your students! :))

Well, unfortunately, it is not the right solution in this case 😬

It is a short tune that appears just where I wrote in the video, "What is this?", and it comes from the world of classical music, a bit modified though as the original speed of that tune is slower.

But you did help, as the little snowman was also smiling while reading your comment and imagined how you had a great time with your students 😇

Well there will be a resolution to the riddle... for sure!!! I want to know!!!

Yes, my students listened to a song and liked it so there was an app on the phone that listened to the song and said what it was. I liked to see the happy faces of all of them. It made me happy to see them happy.😃

I know at least one person, I mean bird, who will get it right. 🦉
😁

I'm sure you do, I don't doubt it! Good night... I walked a lot looking for lights hahaha there were too many!!! Don't say anything!

Good for you that you walked a lot, good for your health and nice for the eyes 😇 aaaaaaaand excellent for something I can't say - as you say "Don't say anything!" 😂

P.S. Good night! 💤

🤣tomorrow I change community... I want lights! Collections!😆

Hello @mipiano, I just woke up from night sleep and opened my Hive to read blogs. I'm lucky to read yours first, as it welcomes Christmas in your own way of music. Im really not a smart guy about music, especially to music riddles, so I will try to come back later and tell my answer with the help of all greatest and iconic pianist in history😅 I love Christmas music and the piano things gave me this goosebumps I rarely feel. Maybe because you made the music from that piano and I am really amazed of people who can sing, dance, or use instruments. Christmas really is on its way to our lives this season. I'm excited to be feeling all of the nostalgia and joy of this year. Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful piano cover of the song.

Good morning 🌞
It seems that December is making its steady path to Christmas with all the lights, decorations and music. The question is maybe a bit tricky, I admit, as the tune that is hidden there should be slower in the original version.
Thanks, playing an instrument is actually a lot of fun, at least for me it is! 😃🎶

Have you experienced playing The Winner Takes It All by ABBA using piano?

Sorry, just a random question😅❤️

Yes, I played that song, wrote about it here.

Sorry, just a random question😅❤️

No worries for asking, but indeed, why do you ask about that particular song?

Wow. I watched the video attached on the blog. That was awesome. The reason why I asked about this is because I am a fan of ABBA and listening to piano covers or any instruments to this song really interest me. But The Winner Takes It All is not my favorite. It is Angel Eyes. ABBA is just so dear to me and I really love their albums.

And I just feel amazed when I see videos of pianist doing the song in a wedding entrance. I saw many videos on TikTok like that.

Thanks :)
ABBA music is great, an iconic band with music that is timeless 👌 You have a good musical taste if you like them!
On that gig (from the post I shared in my comment) I played several ABBA songs 🎵

Yeah, only I listen to ABBA and Avicii's songs since then. Although the music now are still great, these two has a very special place in my heart (although they differ in genre). I'm so amazed of your piano videos, I think I'm gonna scroll in your timeline to find more😅 Im just a fan of pianists and artists and musicians so I react like this. I'm gonna be a fan of yours.

Hmmm, this melody sounds so familiar buut I don't know, Shazaaaaaaam.... 😁
There's no need to telling you how talented you are, just wanna say thank you for this lovely video and for whole cute and holiday vibe. 🥰😍

I think this was a double comment by accident 😁

Nice melody. Best wishes for Christmas time. ☃️✨✨✨

Thank you, and the same to you, a nice Christmas accompanied by music 😇✨
