This page is to coordinate efforts to get more free content recordings onto Wikipedia to illustrate music topics, and other areas which would benefit from recordings. This project is mainly to gather forces to record larger works, however if shorter solo clips are needed for a page those requests are welcome as well.

The work recorded must have passed into the Public domain in order to be eligible for recording. The recording must then be released under a Commons compatible license (see Commons:Licensing for more information). Before you request a recording here, please make sure that there is not already a freely licensed recording available, checking Commons, Wikipedia:Sound/list, and other sources first.

Works should be uploaded in the Ogg or MIDI formats, and should be uploaded directly to Commons for use on other Wikimedia projects and add it to Category:Sound. For help with Ogg and MIDI, see Wikipedia:Media help.

Requesters should add {{Reqaudio}} to the talk page of the article for which the recording is being requested. Include an optional parameter to specify what the sound should be of.

Example: {{reqaudio|the sound of one hand clapping}}

Adding this template automatically adds the page to Category:Wikipedia requested audio.

Volunteers may want to add themselves to Category:Wikipedians who take recording requests.

[edit] Requests

Please include:

  1. The full name of the work, including opus number and version, if applicable.
  2. The article(s) which would be illustrated by this recording.
  3. Try to find a freely licensed score and include a link. Good places to look for scores include the IMSLP [1], Choral Public Domain Library [2] and the Werner Icking Music Archive [3]. You could also find old public-domain scores at a local library and upload images to IMSLP.
  4. Please included necessary forces for the work (i.e. number of violins, tenoroons, etc.)

[edit] Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

  1. "Underworld theme" from Super Mario Bros.
  2. Can't find a clean 30 second OGG sample
  3. Need the 30 second OGG sample converted from an NSF dump of Super Mario Bros.
  4. Taric25

[edit] Agrippina

  1. "Ho un non so che" - aria from Agrippina - HMV 6. Could also be used in La Resurrezione and Il pastor fido, as Handel re-used it a lot.
  2. Can't find a free score.
  3. Required: Soprano, violins, continuo, but could easily be done with just soprano and harpsichord/piano.
  4. Moreschi

[edit] The Indian Queen

  1. "Why should men quarrel" for The Indian Queen, Z 630.
  2. can't find a link.
  3. For soprano, recorder/flute, and continuo, here lute is best.
  4. Moreschi

[edit] The Fairy-Queen

  1. "I am come to lock all fast" for The Fairy-Queen, Z 629.
  2. No link but I possess a score that is probably out of copyright and I may be able to upload the score for this air.
  3. Required: Soprano, continuo - here lute is good, I think.
  4. Moreschi

[edit] Rinaldo

  1. Rinaldo, HWV 7: possibly part or all of the solo writing for the sopranino recorder from the aria "Augelletti".
  2. Can't find a link.
  3. Sopranino recorder
  4. Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 13:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Sonata on the 94th Psalm

  1. The recording of the whole sonata to illustrate the article about it would be ideal.

  3. Washington DC area, will travel. Within the DC metro-accessible area, I'll show up even if we don't do anything productive; the more serious and well-organized the request, the farther I am willing to go.

  1. Any of the songs in the excellent Songs America Voted By (Irwin Silber, 1971).
