An orchestral pop recording of the carol O du fröhliche by Paul Lorenz, with a solo violin leading over orchestra across two minutes and thirteen seconds. The melody itself dates from the early nineteenth century and is public domain; this arrangement and this recording are the Artyfile masters your licence covers.
The violin takes the melody with a singing tone while the orchestra fills in warmly behind it, at a brisk rather than solemn pace. The treatment is closer to orchestral pop than to church music, which makes it usable in commercial settings where a traditional choral recording would feel too formal.
Worth being precise about: a public domain melody does not make any given recording free. Each recording carries its own rights, and this one clears through Artyfile with a certificate.

The track is delivered as a studio-mastered WAV. A single Artyfile Basic licence at €29.90 covers worldwide sync use for the lifetime of your production — film, YouTube, broadcast, social media, podcasts and client work — as one payment, with no subscription and no recurring fees. Artyfile administers the sync rights to its own catalogue directly, so no additional collection-society fee falls due on the licence itself, and every purchase comes with a licence certificate as documented proof of what you cleared. A public performance at a live event remains a separate matter that the venue or organiser settles in the usual way.
Artyfile registers this catalogue in YouTube Content ID under a monetize policy. Expect a routine Content ID match on an upload that uses the track — never a strike, a block, a mute or a takedown. On the Basic licence the music's advertising revenue flows into Artyfile's pool; on a Limited Edition share it flows back to the owners of the master.
If you would rather own a piece of the recording than licence it, the Limited Edition offers numbered shares in this master at €69.90 per 1% share, capped at twenty shares per track and entered in the Artyfile ownership register. Shareholders receive quarterly statements and a share of the recording's streaming revenue. Royalties depend on actual usage, are not guaranteed and may be zero.
