Since its use in Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey" our most famous copyright "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss has taken on a new dimension for a whole generation as music's most powerful evocation of the majesty of the universe. It has been featured in major international blockbuster films including 2010, Magnolia, Mission Impossible 2, Man on the Moon, Toy Story 2, and Casino as well as numerous significant advertising campaigns and television programmes.
Other major licensed usages of our copyrights in film include:

However, since in many cases we have control of both the Synchronization right and the Master, or recording right, we can make the process of obtaining music for your usage incredibly simple. The ablilty to offer both intellectual property and a recording of the work provides our customers with by far the most straight-forward way of getting the music you want for your production, in one move.
