I hate pigeon-holing musical styles, but I thought this would be easy. However, there are always cross-overs between styles.
This is intended to
include some lighter classical records and light music. The items are listed in
alphabetically by composer.
These are all
mp3 files.
They have been transferred by myself from original 78s in my own
collection. You should have something on your computer already
which will play these.
TO PLAY:
If you have a fast connection (broadband), then you can just click on the
title of the piece
and your media player should automatically start, after a short delay while the
file is downloaded (probably 10-20 seconds);
otherwise right click on the title and choose
"save target as" and browse to a place on your computer where you wish to save
it. This will download the file to your disk so you can play it at your leisure.
I have indicated the size of the file after the title.
PLEASE NOTE: These are for your own listening pleasure only. Please respect this and DON'T sell them or put them up onto your own website as your own files.
NOTE: 2014 update - I have move the 1950s library music to a separate page. Click here to go there.
Latest update: February 05, 2014.
