Good background music? Or advice for a video presentation..?

Question

I'm making a video for my history fair project on Chicago women in history, so I was wondering if anyone had any music in mind that is not very distracting, but just low-key? So basically I can mute out the sound from the clip, replace it with background music, and narrate? So maybe a balance occurs? Any suggestions on that?

Answer 1

You could download some soft classical piano music, like Chopin's "Romantic Piano." Bach's "Air on a G String" is also very pretty.

While working on a project about the women's movement, I found music accompanying the story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, but I couldn't identify it. Go to the link below then click on "Explore the Women's Movement." At first you hear a piano, then you hear violins playing a nice accompaniment to the narration.
