I saw an ad the other day (September 10) by American Express with pictures of house appliances that look like faces. The song playing is a VERY POPULAR SYMPHONY and i can't seem to find the name of it or the ad itself, anywhere. The music is composed of violins in various pitches.

You'll recognize it once you hear it, trust me. If anyone knows the name please let me know.

Suite for Cello No.1 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach? Not sure which part though.

If anyone is able to find a link to the commercial itself, I'd love it if you could post it!

Robert P Burkhart did not record this piece. Music is “Prelude” from the J.S. Bach’s Cello Suite No 1 in G major BWV1007, performed by Robert P Burkhart, recorded by Michael Golub at the Manhattan Center. Music adaptation and sound design were produced at Human Worldwide.

The Faces campaign may have been inspired by Faces in Places, the photography blog featuring faces found in everyday places.

I am sure the information about Robert P Burkhart above is correct, however I do happen to have another performance of this piece by Yo-Yo Ma (from The Essential Yo-Yo Ma) which I also enjoy.
