For some reason I don't like quantity "Gb" = "Gbits".

Stereo CD-quality sound:
2 bytes * 2 channels * 44100 samples * 10 mins * 60 seconds
= 101 MB

That's not a huge! And ten minutes is enough.
If piece is only 5 mins, there is still 5 mins for instruments and
singing voices.
Useful program for making a composition is Csound or Cmix.
