There's a song that I have forgotten about a few years ago, but I still remember what it sounds like. At the beginning there are several piano notes before a strings part. About thirty or so second into the song there are some vocals. I don't remember any of the lyrics. Towards the end the brass gets more bombastic. I'm pretty sure it is from a time before the 1960s, probably the 40s. I am not very familiar with musical terms enough to describe it better.
Sorry, OP, this is gonna be tough.

Was it jazz..? Any percussion at all?

If you record a bit of melody (hum it or whistle or something) it would be much easier for someone to help you. A description like this is really not much to go on. Also genre would be nice, I can only guess that it was some bigband?
