TL;DR: I am looking for the animation or short from the early 80s / possibly late 70s that had this theme music.
NOW PLEASE READ THIS: I want to save you some time by telling you that this is NOT really a Google challenge. I am a competent search engine user and I've been to all the hot spots for this topic, so even though I fully understand the urge, the likelihood that you will type in "old nickelodeon themes" and solve this on your first try is pretty remote. I am hoping this music actually rings a bell like it was popular in another country or that you watched the same thing but have a better memory than me.
Here is the original thread
I made a new version of the music file since then. HERE IT IS.
It is completely from memory, but I am pretty certain the melody is accurate. The bassline might be a little off, but its in the neighborhood. The actual sounds might be wrong, but to the best of my memory, it had a synthesized gentle orchestra sound almost like a synthy Waltz of the Flowers. It may have even had a pizzicato sounding waltz triplet faintly in the background.
In my memory, the music was NOT constant like Mixometric or any of those interstitial claymation things. I think it was actual intro/outro theme music and faded out as the next segment faded in.
This is definitely from my childhood and the Pinwheel era so that's like late-1970s to very early-1980s. It is not anything that was popular on its own, it was definitely a short segment in a larger show and very likely one of the imported shorts/animations that were heavily in use back then to fill time on cheap kid's shows.
Unfortunately, I can't remember a single thing about it other than the music!
To reiterate, I have been through all the major stuff... Bod, Bunny in a Suitcase, Chapi Chapo... it is definitely not any of the well known Pinwheel stuff and there is a small chance it's actually not even Pinwheel, but it's definitely from a similar budget kid's show of that era.
BIZARRE ENRICHMENT:
I made my original midi file ages and ages ago but in 2005-2006 I started posting it around to a few places on the internet then abandoned the search til my original TOMT post.
After making that post, I randomly clicked around on some Pinwheel related links in YouTube and found this guy:

He has multiple accounts with multiple videos seeking the same song!!!
He is DEFINITELY humming the exact same music and I have no connection to him whatsoever. He also adds a few little flourishes that were never in my original file, so I believe that this is a genuine occurrence and it's EXTREMELY STRANGE.
