I'm looking for a musical piece that I have heard on a few movies and most distinctly in the Smurfs. It is a musical piece that is usually used when something exciting, menacing or dangerous is occurring. This is all I can describe. I think it was used in "A Circus for Baby" in one istant, but it was used a fair few times I'm sure.
Oh, BTW, Hi everyone. I just signed up.

Well I found that orchestrated piece I was looking for. It was Schubert's Symphony in B Minor, No. 8 "Unfinished" first movement, "Allegro Moderato."

I really don't know much about the music that was used in the cartoon series.

Well the reason I found that part was because it was featured in the movie, 'Being There.' IMDB came in handy too since that piece was uncredited.

I'm restarting this thread for a second because there's another musical piece I was wondering about. Would anyone know what the sad musical theme is in the Smurfs? This is played when there is a sad moment that occurs. I think it's a voilin playing. It might be created by the Smurfs cartoon series musicians, or it could be a snippet from another music composition.

In addition to Schubert's symphony as noted above, Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" is the source of two themes used in Smurfs. The composition is about 34 minutes in length, and well worth experiencing, IMO.
Gargamel's theme starts about one and half minutes into the composition (little adaptation is made from the original). Another theme which I remember was used as a segway between scenes or after a commercial break is found about 10 minutes into the piece (a series of notes taken almost verbatim and looped).
If you like this work from Mussorgsky, then don't miss his "St. John's Night on Bare Mountain" piece.

Thanks for that SoylentChewToy. It's good to hear some of the titles of musical pieces that the Smurfs cartoon series appropriated. Would anyone else know of any others?

Good work, whoever did the entry for the Smurfs cartoon show and the episode listings. What I would like to see is a Wiki dedicated solely to the cartoon show itself, providing more in-depth information.

I have an excerpt from The Smurfs cartoon that has the Tuileries music!!
Modest Mussorgsky is a Russian composer. He is actually known as one of the "Russian Five", the five Russian nationalist composers. This is the Tuileries movement from the suite, "Pictures at an Exhibition". The suite has nine other movements - including Gnomus.
I will post more of the most popular songs and well recognized music from The Smurfs cartoon here. That way, we can all listen to it and better learn the names of each song!

Excellent. And of course the most popular Smurf song would have to be The Smurfs Theme Song.
Smurfs Season Two Intro - US
True Blue Friends DVD
You can watch all of the Smurf theme songs here. There are many different versions.
