I've searched the forum under "public television" and "public broadcasting" but come up empty handed. Too bad "PBS" is too short of a string for the search engine.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is a national public broadcasting promotion on PBS stations around the US. It's got some photos that slowly fade into each other... but the striking thing about the promo is the music of course. It is an instantly recognizable tune (except for a doofus like me, who only recognizes that it is instantly recognizable). It sounds very much like Aaron Copeland - broad sweeping violins and all. The tempo is slow and grand. You only hear a few bars.
I'm 90% sure it's Copeland. And I'm 100% sure I'll be thoroughly red-faced if someone succeeds in telling me what it is. In the meantime, I am driving all who know me batty as I hum the tune at them and ask "Do you know what this tune is?"
They just look at me funny. But I keep doing it. I have no shame.
