What's On
Music Library
Music can make you laugh, it can soothe, it can stir, it can bring back memories, bring alive a different time or bring a tear to your eye, it can make you want to dance and make you want to sing out loud, that's why music is such an important element of any Life Catchers presentation.

You might already have a very firm idea of the music you would like to use in your presentation – that's great! But in case you don't, we're here to help.

  • You're welcome to supply us with your own CD's (that we will return with your completed project), or you can choose songs from our selection below.
  • If you don't want to choose a specific song or instrumental, you can just instruct us as to the theme you'd like us to use (eg: upbeat, romantic, reflective, fun etc) and leave the final selection up to us.
  • You might use one mood to begin the piece and a totally different one to end it – it's up to you!
Here are some tunes to get your toes tapping, but we acknowledge this list is not overly comprehensive, which is why we recommend you send us your own CDs if the music you are looking for is not here.

We have structured the music library into the following sections. Just click on the one you like to go there:

If you're interested, visit the Your Questions - Music section for information on the license we use from APRA/AMCOSS that enables you to legally have this music on the production we are creating for your home use. You'll also find in that section a number of ideas that might be of use when planning what type of and how much music to use.
