Public Domain Orchestra Hits

Orchestra hit (G5), chopped from the 4:54.77 mark of a public domain recording of "I. Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, performed by the USAF Heritage of America Band. No additional processing has been applied to the audio aside from normalization (post-chop) and a short fade out.

The original audio was sourced from the composition's Museopen page at https://musopen.org/music/43775-the-planets-op-32/#r663

Public Domain rationales:

  • This original recording this file is sampled from is a work of a United States Air Force Airman or employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, it is in the public domain.
  • The composition is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.
  • The author died in 1934, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.
