Help with music Genre....

[DeadMansParty]

Ok, here's the deal. My friend is going to film school and he is doing a short film, he has asked me to get all the music together for it, but everytime I try and find this genre, its not what Im looking for. What I am looking for is music that would be from something like the movie " willow" or the mystics in " the dark crystal, you know something with Fairies, wizards, stuff like that, but I keep getting all this Middle eastern music. Anyone know if there is a name for this music?

I know a lot of fantasy type movies use a lot of sorta world music or new agey music....ahh Adiemus is project by a composer, mixing african music with western classical influences and all that...maybe even Enya i guess would fit...

Ahh sorry I dont think i'm helping much

New Age stuff...Like Lorenna McKennitt (so not the right spelling!)

You want like pan flutes and schizz or what?

Minstrels and bards and what not?..if you type in Medieval music into limewire or whatever something is bound to come up..also some Irish trad stuff might be worth givin a go.

a Brian Eno-type soundtrack wouldn't work would it?

David Bowie's Warzscawa would be pretty sweet to use.

nah, it has to be instrumental, Im just trying to listen to as many songs as I can, cause Im scoring the music for it, plus we would never be able to get the rights to the songs by those artists.
