Music research

I wanted to use famous pieces of classical music at the soundtrack to my video. I was however worried about the copyright on the music I wanted to use. I decided that the value the music added to the project was worth using it and of course I referenced the composer. I am using a RSS feed that they generated from iTunes about the top hundred classical singles, I believe using famous pieces of classical music in my video, makes a strong connection between the RSS feed and the video itself.

The first piece of music I used was J.S.Bach - Las suites para orquesta‬ this was one of the first pieces of classical music due in the Baroque/Classical transition, which was between 1720 - 1760. For the oldest years in my video I wanted to use the classical piece of music that was set at the forefront of the Baroque/Classical transition. I believe this gives the video more depth, as I have just not chosen the music because I like it, but there is meaning behind my choices as.

 The 2nd piece of music I chose was Vivaldi - Four season, "Spring". As you can see this piece of music is only a couple years elder then J.S.Bach - Las suites para orquesta. Vivaldi was also at the forefront of the Baroque/Classical transition. I have chosen this piece of music because this is one of my favourite classical music pieces. When I look at this project I decided that it wasn't just about the RSS feeds and the video because I decided to do something that was quite personal to me, it also became about putting a part of me into this video. That is why I included Vivaldi - Four season, "Spring".

The last piece of classical music I used was Paul Dukas - The Sorcerer's Apprentice. This is a much more modern form of classical music. I needed to find a piece of music that was very fast. It was not easy trying to find a piece of classical music that would complement tap dancing. I also like to use this piece of music because it is the soundtrack for the sorcerer's apprentice in Fantasia. I am a big Disney fan and I think this is reflected in my choice to use this composition. Plus it was the piece that the best with the video.
