All the links take you to Archive.org, all are from the Animating Apothecary archive, built using Audacity as it fights with Windows 10. All have a (cc) and share-alike status, and all are in the public domain.
The acoustic nature of the selections is a limitation, but if you need background music for workprints or as a guide, help yourself! More links will be built as they become available. Also, check some earlier postings on this blog for other selections. Even after a recent downsizing, there remain about 3000 78rpms and over 600 cylinders to remaster (drat the limitations of audio tape!).
Many of these selections should sound very familiar...
Norwegian Dance #2 - Columbia release from 1924
A Midsummer Night's Dream Overture - HMV acoustic recording from 1911
St. Patrick's Day, performed by Maud Powell for Victor, ca 1904-06, acoustic
Coppelia Ballet #2 by Delibes, performed by the Cincinnati Symphony, 1917
Danse des Buffons, the Cincinnati Symphony, an acoustic 78rpm ca 1917
Madame Butterfly - orchestrated selections - acoustic recording from1917
