Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers

In an attempt to teach my children more about music and the great composers, I am using "Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers" by Patrick Kavanaugh. I decided that in addition to reading about these composers, we must also listen to their music. The Internet has so many great things to offer, and in this area it was difficult to find free resources, but I prevailed after much searching and felt it was wise to share this research.

Online Resources for listening to these composers mentioned in the book:

1. Johann Sebastian Bach - Musopen - Incompetech
   
2. George Frederic Handel - Musopen
   
3. Franz Jospeh Hayden - Musopen
   
4. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Musopen
   
5. Ludwig van Beethoven - Musopen
   
6. Franz Peter Schubert - Musopen
   
7. Felix Mendelssohn - Musopen
   
8. Frederic Chopin - Musopen
   
9. Franz Liszt - Musopen
   
10. Richard Wagner - Musopen
    
11. Charles Gounod - FreeScores
    
12. Cesar Franck - FreeScores
    
13. Anton Bruckner - FreeScores
    
14. Johannes Brahms - Musopen
    
15. Antonin Dvorak - Musopen
    
16. Edward Elgar - Musopen
    
17. Ralph Vaughan Williams
18. Charles Ives
19. Igor Stravinsky - Musopen
    
20. Olivier Messiaen

I was not able to find much on a couple of the composers, probably because they are more recent and do not have much royalty free music out there.
