I only recognized the first ten seconds of the music. I recognized instantly how it had been used in relation to educational broadcasts.
I had not, as far as I remember, heard all of it before.
Something that I have only once seen mentioned anywhere was a broadcasting experiment called Dawn, perhaps as early as 1963, when on four mornings for one week only, at I think 7 am, there was a broadcast of a lecture that had been filmed at a university, just as it had happened. I remember getting up early to watch it, it was about the four DNA bases and how they were two pairs and how they acted to reproduce DNA. There were four entirely different subject areas (I forget what they were, but like Mathematics, Chemistry, and so on, not all topics in, say, Chemistry.)

I believe they only used the first six bars (twelve distinct notes).

I have just listened again several times and I make it that they used the first sixteen notes. I do not know how that relates to bars.

You may well be right about the number of notes! I’m afraid I simply counted the notes that I remembered in my head, without bothering to find a programme so I could check that I hadn’t truncated the sequence.
The bit about bars was lifted from something I read.
From google:
A bar (also called a measure) is one small segment of music that holds a certain number of beats. It can be thought of as a container. The number of beats a bar holds is determined by the time signature of the song, most commonly 4/4 (also called ‘common time’).
When you look at the time signature, the top number tells you how many beats are in a single bar/measure and the bottom number tells you what kind of notes those beats are. For example, in 4/4 there are 4 quarter notes in a measure. In 6/8 there are 6 eighth notes in a measure.
