Royer as film music

[edit]

It is perhaps worth noticing that Royer's 'Le Vertigo' is the one playing in Dumont's 'L'humanité', since people seem to search for it quite a lot. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qCuZ6RrFs0 and similar videos on Youtube, for example) 77.232.1.171 (talk) 07:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just clarifying: the title mentioned above is the 1999 film Humanité by Bruno Dumont. The excerpt from Royer's Le Vertigo consists of less than 90 seconds; the whole piece is at least 6 minutes long. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, perhaps this way more people will get acquainted with Royer's music (I myself was amazed by his other pieces, which I found while and after searching for 'Le Vertigo'), which I find to be a good thing :-) If this is unacceptable, perhaps such note could be added when the article gets a 'Legacy' section. Also, could it be worth adding some links to Youtube videos with his music?77.232.1.171 (talk) 06:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not quite sure what you are referring to as "unacceptable"; many articles on classical composers and compositions have sections "In popular culture" or similar. While these are somewhat frowned upon by most editors, I think there is sometimes a place for for them, as long as a) they doesn't overwhelm the article, b) entries are sourced.
As for YouTube clips: they can be added as long as they don't infringe copyright (as the one above seems to do). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
