I want to add that SHAZAM identifies each type of music. It is important that the sample played agrees with what SHAZAM has in its internet database. And these are probably mainly recordings released on CD.
In this case, I tried SHAZAM and also SOUNDHOUND. But to no avail.
Shazam seems smarter to me and only needs a few seconds to identify something.
Unfortunately, this is not the way to identification.
If you have a mobile phone (cell phone) there is an app called Shazam which may be able to identify the music. The app is mostly used for popular music, but last night it was able to identify Spohr's octet played by the Gaudier Ensemble (it didn't say which movement). Shazam did need at least 20 seconds to identify the music, which may be a problem with the short fragment you have access to.
I am still thinking. I'd like to contribute some more information to the search and identification
of this recording, but I can't think of anything. I am sorry.
I searched the internet for recordings of the aforementioned Trevor Duncan and the internet also offered me the names Dennis Berry,
Heinz Kiessling, Werner Tautz, ...
To explain:
In Czechoslovak Radio in the 1960s, the jingles of new programs were often selected from foreign gramophone records.
Helmut Zacharias, Kermit Leslie, Raymond Scott, Billy Vaughn, Spike Jones, Werner Müller, Frankie Carle, Eddie Vartan, ...
But no record was made of which gramophone record (LP) was chosen in this case.
My first thought was one of those short production music pieces of the 50s or 60s, possibly by Trevor Duncan. No joy yet, but I'll keep looking/listening.
I think it's a recording that probably wasn't released on CD. Because if it was on a CD (Guilt Light Music), SHAZAM would probably find it.
Maybe Mantovani or Zacharias? But I don't want to influence your quest.
I keep my fingers crossed that the identification will work.
Thank you, George. You're probably right about the relevance of the programme's title but I thought I'd ask first before combing through my vast quantity of light music recordings to see if I can identify it. I do love a research challenge!,
After more than fifty years, the name of the radio show probably has no meaning for identification.
But here it is:
Czechoslovak Radio, late 1960s.
The show was titled - "Hudební střípky - klípky"
In English something like - "Little Musical Fragments and Little Gossips"
or "Little Musical Pieces and Little Gossips from Music"
Do you have the name of the music show?
This is a short musical excerpt used as the jingle of a music show in the sixties.

Do any of you know something about this instrumental song ? (Its name, the name of the composer and the artist.)
Thank you for your kind help.
