Background Music for School Video?

I am creating an Animoto video for my English class. The goal is to create a book-turned-into-a-movie type commercial. The book is "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" by Roald Dahl, a collection of short stories. I have the visual part of the video done greatly, but I can't seem to figure out the audio part. I want just some simple background music to go with it. The problem is, the book keeps switching the mood ("Save the animals!" to "I'm a robber!" to "Oh! Treasure!" to "Save the animals or shoot me!" to "I'm a yogi! Watch me gamble!" to "I'm Mr. Roald Dahl! Look how I became a writer!") It's a very moody book and I need background music that will fit all these plot lines. I need some serious help! If you need more detail, feel free to e-mail me.

Update:

Toast and Jam, I've tried that for the past hour and I'm tired of searching. I've tried classical, jazz, electronic weirdo type, and the background music from the new "Harry Potter" commercial. Why do you think I came here?!?

Update 2:

Dr M- I dj hospitals, Bohemian Rhapsody? Lol... Well I better clarify, I can't have a medley of songs. The song needs to be one theme, but that theme must be universal to many different themes.

Update 3:

Well, I finally used some Beethoven piece just to get it over with. It's just extra credit so I really don't care...

    Wow! That sounds crazy! You can't use a different song for every section? If not, maybe Bohemian Rhapsody? I know it sounds stupid but its the only song I really know that is split up into four totally different parts. Unless you did something like Tribute to Henry Mancini, but thats a sort of collection of themes and pieces that he did. I'm really sorry I couldn't be more helpful :( I hope you find something (unless Bohemian Rhapsody somehow fits all of those).

    Im 36 and no the song from the ninety's does not sound previous to me (some does whether). It sounds like what i think of of today's song might desire to sound like. The song and the varieties of pass of the eighty's & ninety's song have greater advantageous feeling in them jointly as in comparison to today's song. I hear to artists very in simple terms approximately extensive-unfold and the beats could be bangin, in spite of the undeniable fact that the lyrics are so-so or finished trash. those themes is to be expected whether. Hip Hop (The custom which is composed of the song and each and each element it particularly is HH) is the youngest custom indoors the song international. the countless form has been around longer than rap/hh song (not counting some thing after rap/hh or based off of the custom) which leaves plenty greater advantageous section to augment. it particularly is a tribulation and blunder element. we are able to take heed to greater advantageous Vanilla Ice's, youthful MC's, Kriss Kross's by way of fact the years pass. that's the cycle of artist life.
