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?

There are two parts from Modeste Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" (composed in 1874) that are in The Smurfs cartoon. They are Gnomus and Tuileries.
Click and save these midi files to your hard-drive or use Windows Media Player (or something like it) to have a listen. You'll recognize the music as soon as you hear it, especially Tuileries.

There's a listing of the musical pieces in the cartoon show's Wikipedia page.

Wikipedia only missed an excerpt on its list: Stravinsky's "The Firebird" (Introduction). I mentioned bigger details in the topic: A Smurfs Wikia Has Been Created.
