Having found this frustrating I downloaded various free music creation software and set about making my own. Having done this, I am uploading 'albums' of 'music' for other artists to use for free. It is generally good enough to listen to as background music when doing something else and should serve well enough as background tracks to animations you make. It does not quite support focused listening to just the music, not quite that well patterned. Feel free to cut and sample, while the overall coherence is a little weak, most include some riffs or sequences which are fairly nice.
The music is in midi format, but can be easily converted to .mp3 and other formats with free software from the web. Most of any given album will be the same structure with different orchestrations and sometimes other modifications to tempo, period, mapping, etc. So, a lot of the tracks will sound similar to one another. There will be greater difference between different albums.
Most tracks are named something like this:
BN short for Bean Novelty, name of the album then a name for the orchestration
Africa is a collection of instruments from Africa, more or less
base is strings horns tubular bells and drums
Bells Harps is tubular bells and harps
Bells Shakuhachi is tubular bells and shakuhachi
choir is voice ohs aahs, harps bells and strings
drums is a lot of drums thrown together
gunshot is sound effects with some instruments
hick is woodblock, blown bottle, dulcimer and harmonica
keyboards is a bunch of organs, pianos, etc. mixing it up
oriental is shakuhachi, taiko drum, and shamisei
pianos is all pianos
synth is a bunch of electronic synth instruments
wind is wood and brass mixing it up
bells and synth is tubular bells and synth
