Classical music made accessible by RoyaltyFreeMusic.com

Classical music affects many aspects of every-day life, but many people claim not to enjoy it. Many people think of classical music as elitist and boring, but their impressions are often largely based on their experiences early in life when they were forced to attend the student recitals of their siblings, or other classical music concerts performed by children that were typically long with less than advanced performances and interpretations of masterworks. Many of these experiences stayed with people their whole lives and caused them to avoid learning more about classical music or playing it as background music in their homes or offices.

The truth is, classical music can be found everywhere, and it can provide an exciting and fun accompaniment to many of life's projects. Movies, television programs and even popular music all use classical music as production music, background music and a foundation on which to build new and unique sounds. Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoons all used music written by great classical music composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt and Wagner as background music and production music to illustrate exciting chase scenes or peaceful moments. The magnificent theme from the film "2001: Space Odyssey" was taken directly from the classical music piece "Sprach Zarathustra" by German composer Richard Strauss. Parents, teachers and children are all familiar with the nursery rhyme "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The tune for this piece was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , who also wrote an entire set of variations for orchestra based upon the theme.

The previous examples of classical music in every day life are just a few examples of how it affects many art forms and pervades the media. Producers, directors and musicians throughout the world use classical music as production music and background music to help make their films and television programs, commercials and documentaries more exciting and to illustrate important themes.
