I need help finding music for a film I am making

[JoeFahey]

I am making a short documentary about the history of my old town in NH. Whenever I see one of those old tacky movies about colonial times and such, the documentaries always have some old "colonial" type of music to play along with it. Where can I get access to filler music like this? Any types of music and effects for such movies would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

"Requiem for a Tower" is always a winner

That site is great. I found lots of stuff that could work for many projects. However, do you or anyone else know of places where it might be free?

If you want good music and sound effects they will never be free.

Yup. And if you want to use someone else's music for this, you have to get permission from the copyright owner (unless you use something that is in the public domain).
