    Sounds like Bach's Minuet in G Major

    Thank you for the pointer! The melody definitely is.
    Though, it seems like some sources now said that this wasn't
    really a Bach's work, but rather Christian Petzold's
    (who was also in the same era as Bach).
    It actually being a classic melody definitely
    explained the ringtone part.

    From this lead, I eventually found out that the pop song
    with woman singer that I have heard was called "A Lover's Concerto",
    originally from 60s (older than I think, huh) which used this part
    of melody in repeat. I couldn't pinpoint which exact version
    that I have originally heard yet (the one that I described the feeling of
    on the post [1]), I will have to search more; but it is definitely this song.

    Thanks again,

    [1] Though with a quick search on Invidious (YouTube),
    I found one that is pretty close to the feeling I described,
    though a bit more "haunting":

    Oh cool, glad it helped.

    That's interesting about the true composer. The song's a distant memory
    from playing violin as a kid. I don't think I've listened to it since
    then, but hearing your sample brought back vivid memories of where my
    lessons were, and had me tapping the fingering on my desk.

    I'm enjoying the Supremes and the Toys versions of the song.
