 We will be building up a list of classical composers with biographical details, an overview of their main works, and an understanding of their importance in the development of music. Of course in the main we will cover those composers whose music features in some form on the mfiles site. Where there are no copyright restrictions, we hope to present some free sheet music and sound files as examples of the composer's work. Before looking at our biographies of classical composers, you may wish to take a look at our stunning Classical Composers Poster.

We don't want to get into a pointless debate about where classical music stops and film music begins, but there are a number of 20th century composers who have been involved in writing film music and also a number of film composers who have written classical music. In addition there are some notable conductors and interpreters of classical music who also composed for film. Here are some composers who are listed in the film music section but also have an association with classical music, either as a composer or conductor.
