Music for birth video

[logophile]

I've started doing some birth video editing for clients and friends and am looking for some suggestions of music to use in the background. The last video that I did had clips from the song Come On-A My House, This Woman's Work (for the birth itself), and Alright For Now (with the closing photo and credits).

Anybody have any suggestions of other music that might be sweet to use? John Lennon's Beautiful Boy comes to mind immediately, as does (First Time) Ever I Saw Your Face.

Love to hear your suggestoins!

Canon in D tears me up every time I hear it.

Instrumental: anything by Philip Elcano ... I play him AT births all the time...

Lullabies of the Soul, Birth Chants and Opening to Birth are all good, and can be found here

If my husband had brought a video camera any of the times I gave birth I'd have probably tried to make him eat it. Beethoven's Fifth or the William Tell Overture to drown out the yelling I did.

This Woman's Work (for the birth itself)

I love this Kate Bush song, by the way... it's a great choice...

I forgot about Full
which has a lot of great tempos, so you can use different tracks for different moods...

Yes, This Woman's Work was perfect for the last video I did. I can see myself using it alot.

"Love" -- John Lennon

Carole King singing "Child of Mine" is pretty nice.

What about something for the kid, such as the Beatles' birthday song?

The finale to the 1812 Overture might work when the contractions are coming fast and furious.

And then there's Gene Pitney singing, It Hurts To Be In Love."

For what little it's worth, I had a collection of Aaron Copland playing during my last surgery.

Shouldn't the choice of music depend on the clients taste in music?

Personally, I'd prefer instrumental and/or classical -- the Halleluia Chorus or Also Sprake Zarathustra come to mind for the birth itself, but that's likely to be a bit much for a hardcore Country or Rock fan (and probably absolutely intolerable to a Rap/Hip-Hop fan.)

The sound Track to the Heavy Metal Movie has a lot of possibilities for a heavy metal fan.

Hey Ted - Have you ever used Pinnacle Studio? I'm having a bitch of a time getting the audio and the video to sync up when I capture from an analog camcorder...

I have it, but never used it (I have other tools). I use DV not analog, so I can't be much help.

But a quick google lead me here : http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=166660

Thanks. I seem to have fixed it.
I was working on my computer while I was capturing the video and apparently it slowed down the video transfer rate but not the audio. Seems to be working fine now.

I'll be buying a DV very soon to fix this little glitch because working the analog sucks!
