Conan the Barbarian (1982 film)

Portion used

21 seconds (10%) of a 3:38 piece

Low resolution?

Low (44100 Hz, 16 bit PCM, and 0 Vorbis quality scale); decreased in resolution and quality from the original source file. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality due to the reduction in size and fidelity, and thus this music is unsuitable for pirated versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original music.

Purpose of use

To illustrate the "intonations" and "propulsion" in the movie's opening piece and main theme, and its characteristics ("power, energy, and brutality").

Replaceable?

As a piece of music performed from a copyrighted score, the music is not replaceable by free content; Poledouris has not released his score into public domain or allowed free use, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
