What's this piece of music called?

[Queen Michael]

I realize this is vague. I'm sorry about that. But I can't ask my friends for help because none of them know this. So do you know the name of this famous classical piece? Imagine a short break, between half a second and for every new line. So the beginning of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik would go like this:
DA
da DA
da da da da da DA
DA
da DA
da DA da da da DA

And Beehoven's ninth would be like this:

da da da DA
da da da DA

Get it?

Here's the famous piece I'm thinking about, which is in major:

DA DA DA da DA da DA da DA da DA da

I know this might be tricky, but I didn't have any oher way of finding it.

Edit: I found it. It's the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore.

I think vague is a understatement here but I'll try. What pace does it have, are we talking a march, a Walsh or very fast song ? that would be the first thing to know and the instrument full out orchestra or a piano.

Without even reading your explanation for what they represented, your first two examples of 'transcribed humming' instantly triggered my brain to start playing the opening of the pieces in question, but the third one that you actually want to know about is eluding me. I would probably have to hear you hum it out loud to pick up on what you meant for that to sound like, and even then I might know what you mean but be unable to tell you what it is (I'm good with recognizing classical composers but not so great at knowing names of individual pieces).

The pace is fairly slow, and OH! I just remembered that it's sung. Is that called an aria? I think it was a chiur singing it, but I'm not 100% sure. It's probably from an opera. It's a full orchestra. Sorry about changing the transcription, but it's not an easy piece to transcribe.

Hard to grasp the tune ;p
Have a listen to this 100-1 list, perhaps it's one of them

For some reason, I can only think of the Harry Potter theme tune. I have no idea if that's right or not.

 

[Santa216]

If it's slow, sung, and famous, "O Fortuna" is probably a good first guess, even though it doesn't really fit your, uh, transcription.

Thanks for all the help, but I found it.

I'm probably wrong but might this be it, I couldn't think of its name so I'll use the version of the tune I heard from Tenacious Ds Pick of Destiny

Its around 26 seconds where the tune I'm thinking of kicks in.

Rite of Spring by Stravinsky would also have been acceptable.... the part in the beginning after the clarinets have their fun.

EDIT: Bah, nevermind.

It was the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore.
