Production music is a relatively new thing as far as music is concerned. With the advent of music being utilized in media industries, there has become a need to provide a way for producers to access music in a legal manner for their productions. Product music libraries provide royalty free music to producers and consumers who are looking to find music tracks in a legal manner to avoid any licensing headaches that can arise from utilizing pirated music.

Production music libraries first came about when producers were looking to make up scores to their movies or commercials, but has since evolved into being useful to an individual who is in need of royalty free music for school projects, such as a video yearbook, or a motivational looking to make their speech memorable through the use of emotional music.

Production music libraries range from libraries that have only a few hundred tracks to those that have thousands upon thousands of tracks available to producers and consumers looking for the right music for their purposes. By providing so many different music tracks in one place that is royalty free, producers and individuals can be assured that all of their music needs will be met in a single production music library.

By providing so many music tracks, producers and individuals have the option of purchasing only a handful of tracks, for a small project, or by purchasing several tracks for a larger production. By providing varying packages of music, producers and individuals can be assured that they will only be paying for the music that they need and will use, rather than being forced to buy a pre-made package of tracks in order to only use a couple of the tracks within the package.

Production music libraries have evolved with the need of producers and individuals needing royalty free music for their productions. Music can be utilized in a variety of ways and with the strict licensing laws around music these days; it is becoming harder for producers and individuals to find legal ways of obtaining music for their productions. This is where production music libraries come in, because they provide royalty free music to their consumers, providing an assurance that their consumers are purchasing legal music for their productions. With the popularity of production music libraries by both producers and individuals, they have realized that they can meet the needs of more consumers by providing packages that suit both large productions that need several music tracks as well as small packages that work well for individuals who only need a couple music tracks.

For too long, classical music has been regarded as the domain of instrumentalists, composers, academic musicologists and, typically, anyone over 40 years old. But while the majority of today’s youth would rather listen to Britney Spears’ greatest hits or watch My Chemical Romance on MTV, the view that young people are completely uninterested in classical music is not just erroneous – it’s simply not grounded in historical reality.

Mozart, widely regarded as one of the greatest classical composers of all time, wrote his first symphony at age eight and was dead by the age of 35. Schubert also died when he was 31, while Chopin famously didn’t live past the age of 39. Moreover, the phenomenon of the castrato in classical music in the 1700s shows that young people haven’t just been interested in classical music throughout the years – they’ve practically been canonised as part of a classical music tradition that, although lost, is not forgotten.

Today’s orchestras, choirs and opera houses are packed with young singers and musicians, many of whom are still in their twenties. Moreover, almost all modern, successful classical musicians will have undergone training from a very young age. Charlotte Church may have made headlines when she released her debut album “Voice of an Angel” in 1998 aged just thirteen, but while her phenomenal mainstream success was not typical, the fact that she was such a young musician in the classical industry was.

In the twenty-first century, the likes of Katherine Jenkins and “male soprano” Michael Maniaci, 28 and 29 years of age respectively, are making headlines the world over for their innovative approach to classical music and their stunning vocal range. Edward Gardner, the new Music Director of Glyndebourne on Tour (one of the UK’s premier operatic fixtures), is also only 28, proving that there is certainly no dearth of young people performing classical music, although there may be fewer youths than OAPs listening to it.

But as classical music institutions and performing arts organisations try their best to reduce their median audience age, classical music isn’t just becoming more accessible to young people – it’s also becoming more affordable. Scottish Opera, for instance, offer special ticket deals for people under 26, while many music-specialist booksellers are making classical music books and guides that will help younger classical listeners learn more about the craft. So while many may lament the loss or decline of youth interest in classical music in today’s world, they need only look towards the country’s concert halls to see where the future lies.
