Okay. This is a really odd and random question and I don't know the terminology of the stuff because I'm no musician, so I'll go for background first.
 
When I was in high school during our music lessons (which were compulsory up to Year 9) we used a free software thing called Logic Fun which would let you compose your own music and we basically did projects with it. I found it earlier today and downloaded it, and I've been thinking of maybe trying to make some music inspired by Mass Effect.
 
And in some of the Mass Effect soundtracks, there's the same bit taken from the Mass Effect main theme. I have no idea what the musical term for it is but y'know it's the same bit of music. Like the same... five notes?
 
And I'd like to know what those notes actually are.
 
Sheet music probably won't help because I don't know how to read music XD But y'know I know where notes are on the keyboard and that's something I'm proud of. Even if they're chords I'd like to know what the notes are :D
 
I've tried looking at tutorials on YouTube and they're quite incredibly not useful at all for me :)
 
So yeah help would be appreciated.
 
If there's any confusion about what notes I'm talking about here's an example:


 
From like 0:20 to 0:27.




 
Or here from 1:10 to 1:20.

I think what you want is this. It starts at 1:05. You can slow it down but mind you, the theme itself is an orchestral mix of several instruments but its easy to spot the string music.

The notes of the motif in aoibhealfae's example are A, B, C, D, C, D, G.

 

The same motif could also be written D, E, F, G, F, G, C. Or, again, F-sharp (black key immediately above F), G-sharp (black key immediately above G), A, B, A, B, E. It's the same motif, just in different keys which can produce a different "feel." And the composers of the Mass Effect soundtrack transpose the motif several times.
