Classical music for download

Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 9:53 am

I am doing a project where I am replacing all the audio of a scene in a movie.
Well, right now I need to settle on the music to be used, so I can edit the scene around it.

I need it to be a classical (or atleast in the same ball park) song. This is only a project, so copyright does not apply.

If any one knows where I can find clips, or full songs of some classical music, that would be great.
Or if any of you have some recordings you would not mind sharing with me, that would be all the better.

By the way, it's a scene from the HBO series Band Of Brothers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to your local library and check out their CD collection. Most major libraries have large classical CD collections and you can browse to your heart's content. If you have a conservatory or school of music close to you they certainly will have a very large collection of classical CDs.

You probably already know this but just because it is classical does not mean it does not have a copyright attacted to it. You will need a mechanical license at least to use it if you take something off a CD.

Best of luck

it's funny you brought that up, as I just got back from my girlfriend's school's library with 15 CDs.
Hopefully there is a song that fits.
