Recomposing the Classical Favourites Series: Part 1

Part 1 of our deep dive into the Classical Collection is here! And yes, we may have upset a few ghosts along the way… In this episode, we unpack the crazy task of reimagining 181 classical favourites for media use with Audio Network! 🎻 From navigating the complexities of public domain to reshaping the world’s most recognisable melodies into editor-friendly production music, we talk about what it takes to make iconic classical pieces work for a modern audience. We talk through the whole process from selecting the repertoire, to adding new lyrics and writing entirely new sections, all while wondering just how far can we push Beethoven and Vivaldi before they start turning in they graves. Plus, hear the unforgettable story of Day 1 at Abbey Road Studios, recording Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, when after just two bars, the entire orchestra collapsed in laughter! (And keep your eyes peeled for Part 2 coming soon!) #classicalmusic #productionmusic #syncmusic #composer #filmmusic #librarymusic #audionetwork #classicalcomposer #filmcomposer #abbeyroad #recordingsession #beethoven #orchestration #classicalcomposer
