Elleanor, You could try something from Vaughan Williams, his music tends to be very funerial.

The slides are about Baby P who was murdered. I am sure you have all heard of this famous case in the UK. Basically the baby was let down by every single professional who came into contact with him and his life cut down at about 17 months. I was wondering about some sort of funerial music maybe that might be played at children's funerals or something like that but I do not know much mysself about music, some form of instrumental music.

I am looking for an appropriate peace of music for a PowerPoint presentation. Suffice it to say that the ppt has about 50 slides and is based on a tragic death of a child through crulty by those who cut the child's life short. This is a legal case. I would just like to find instrumental music which could be played in the background of the slides, something very sad and melancholy. It would not want to be words but instrumental as one does not want to detract from the slides themselves but wants to convey a terrible sadness and great loss. I just cannot think of a suitable peace of music but I am sure there are those of you out there who may well have experience in putting music to PowerPoint presentations. If anyone has any ideas of music would you be prepared to send me off list MP3 files of the music you suggest? Many thanks in advance. Eleanor I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter.
