    There are thousands of potential pieces. I am sure you are not looking for songs (music with lyrics) as most are in german or Italian. I won’t make any suggestions because I would not want to facilitate such sacrilege as having classical works ‘adapted’ to another style of music. Malcolm D

    Boosey & Hawkes Radio allows you to select a station by mood

    “Sunny Saturday” seems to fit your description

    Here’s a generic list of classical melodies used for ring tones.

    3/4 would be a time signature which could have a “tempo” of either slow or fast (largo to presto).

    Have fun when you make a gazillion dollars create a division for straight up classical music concerts. relaxin

    Sitting around on the Classical Music Forum here on Yahoo! Answers people ask questions usually about a few select titles.

    The most famous that I have found are “Fur Elise” and “Canon in D”.

    Of course other famous pieces are
    “In the Hall of the Mountain King”
    “Ode to Joy” — or the Finale to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9
    First theme of B. Symphony No. 5
    among others… Non Sequitur

    I’m a fan of Walther von der Vogelweide, such as “Unter der Linden an der Heide.” Robert P

    … not intended to be a slam against you, just the general theme of questions that show up here. i. jones
