user1570: I would like to make a video with songs in the background. I'm mostly interested about classic music, but other genres as well. I know of Creative Commons. However, I was wondering if there are recordings of famous songs available for free (perhaps, old recordings?).

user3963: Look for music released with Creative Commons licences.

user4868: You can download royalty-free songs for video production or poems free for video production. It is no charge
