Hello -

Sorry for this post, but I have looked on stock music sites and on google and am looking for music for a video similar to Wicked, Gypsy, Sound of Music. That rich big orchestral sound with a bit of a retro 50s feel and warmth to it. Of course, I don't want to use / can't use from the soundtrack of these shows themselves, so I need something that is similar in that vein.

I am not sure if any board members have encountered stock music sources that might have something similar, but I would love to hear from anyone on this board, or if they prefer in my private inbox.

Thanks in advance!

This may not be QUITE what you're looking for, but somewhat Broadway or showbiz style 1950s stock music...

Look at the soundtrack to "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." It's made up almost entirely of 1950s stock music, mostly by Heinz Kiessling.

Thanks, yeah that's more comedic. More what I'm going for is dramatic and warm, i.e.:

Thanks for taking the time to make that suggestion though.
