Civilization 5 musical themes - Page 3

Guandao · Jun 26, 2011, 01:23 PM

Which section (s) of the in-game music did you dislike? European or Middle Eastern or Asian or Native American? Also does the Civ4 soundtrack have other types of music than Classical? I haven't listened to it much. Perhaps in-game music for 5 should have been remixed and made more modern like pop?

Guandao · Jun 26, 2011, 01:55 PM

Did a quick search on Youtube for possibly Ramkhamhaeng inspiration

1. The sound of frogs (Thailand) sukritact, any Thai name for this listed in the book?

2. Chinese ensemble with song “Chung we meng” (Thailand) no luck so far

3. Classical pinn peat dance piece “Thep monorom” (Cambodia) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cMoUU6m2cI

4. Salaw seung pi ensemble (northern Thailand) no luck

5. Lam sing repartee song (northeast Thailand) what is a repartee?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psAEOKqeBcg

6. Accompanied lam salavane repartee song (southern Laos)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpEywUmPC_o a remix though….

7. Kyo classical song (Burma)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bJCoTIlaOQ same one or similar?

8. Nhac le ritual ensemble (Vietnam) seems like a type of music using a specific set of instrument

9. Khap repartee singing (upland Vietnam) no luck

10. Gong ensemble with song “Yong Thoach” (upland Vietnam) no luck

11. East Javanese gamelan piece “Srempeg” (Java)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vezWaMh3M0 not specific piece but with same instrument
This probably inspired the Kuala Lumpur Theme, I'm sure Malay music is quite similar to Indonesian

12. Accompanied cakepung song “Pemungkah” (Bali)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8hTSj-5X4Q not sure if same exact song

13. Shadow play music “Telaga dundan” (Lombok) I know what shadow plays are, in Malay, they are called Wayang kulit

14. Gong, drum, and xylophone ensemble (Philippines) not specific of a name, any native Tagalog/Filipino music.

15. Song “Kulilal ni puguq” accompanied by tube zither
(upland Philippines) no luck on youtube

so Rammy's themes are prolly based on the Thai music (dancing ones?)
Kuala Lumpur theme based on Javanese music
Hanoi theme possibly based on Vietnamese music
Singapore is unknown, though likely Chinese
Seoul is presumed to be Korean music
Almaty is possibly Central Asia music (haven't really listened to any yet)

Guandao · Jun 26, 2011, 02:06 PM

I had to record the city-state music with my laptop. Bad sound quality but oh well. Strangely, the only music that can't be found in the files

Guandao · Jun 26, 2011, 03:33 PM

Anyone wonder what the war themes in Civ4 would have been like? Cooler?

sukritact · Jun 26, 2011, 05:00 PM

No thai name for the sound of frogs although i tried searching for a thai equivalent. I couldn't find anything that seemed like the right song while searching either.

Guandao · Jun 26, 2011, 05:58 PM

Hmm, What kind of instruments are used in this according to the book?

Just an unrelated question sukritact, where is the star in Siam's icons from? Is it a symbol for Sukhothai or Ramkhamhaeng?

501st Legion · Jun 27, 2011, 01:56 AM

The music of Civ V is one of the things the game got (almost) right since its release. Now if only the music was more period oriented...hearing classical music during the stone age is somewhat distracting.

sukritact · Jun 27, 2011, 06:02 AM

@Guandao: I don't think so, i'd like to change it to a garuda personally, maybe i'll make a mod for it later.

@501st Legion: I agree with that entirely!

Guandao · Jul 30, 2011, 09:26 AM

It seems like Siam and Songhai symbols are the only ones I don't know.

Anyways, I think they should add more Africa tracks for Civs like the Zulu. Maybe other Asian music (Mongolia, Central Asia, Korea, more Southeast Asia). Polynesian music would be good too.

Valbuena · Jul 30, 2011, 05:16 PM

Cheyenne Prairie is the best native american theme imo!

basta · Jul 31, 2011, 08:17 AM

FWIW I love love love Oda's peace theme.

BTW can you add music to the folders? The Middle Eastern tracks are getting tired...

seasnake · Jul 31, 2011, 02:26 PM

Hey, does anyone know if there exists a version of the music from the opening movie (with the father narrating the dream) without the voice or sound effects? I really love the music, and I've got a hunch that theme without other stuff would be excellent as a main menu music.

ShahJahanII · Jul 31, 2011, 06:16 PM

I hate the Japan peace track. I love Babylon, Arabia, and Mongol peace tracks. I also like the Elizabeth war theme.

Here is a youtube video of the music without the SFX, but I dunno where you can get a raw file of it.

Thanks KL, I actually know a site that converts youtube to MP3 so I just did that, and now it's in my Best of Civ playlist.

Pouakai · Jul 31, 2011, 10:11 PM

I heard parts from that track that I had never heard in the opening before, Belissimo!

svett89 · Aug 01, 2011, 11:08 AM

Elizabeth's peace theme (I Vow to Thee My Country) is definitely my favorite. I'm not from England and thus had never heard the song until I played Civ 5. Fell in love with it the first game I played England. (:

Guandao · Dec 11, 2011, 08:55 AM

I have some goals, to play each theme on my MP3 player in the appropriate place

America the Beautiful: Washington DC, maybe Philadelphia
Ho Ho Watanay: Mohawk reservation
Cora Mitote Song: Mexico City or Teotihuacan
Traditional Inca Melody Fragments: Machu Pichu or Cusco
I vow to Thee my country: London
Cancan: Paris
Quince Brigada: Madrid
Ode to Joy: Berlin
Dromte mig un drom i nat: Copenhagen
Montagues and Capulets: Moscow
Roman Melody fragments: Rome
Epitaph of Seikilos: Athens
Egyptian Melody Fragments: Thebes
Gambia Folk Song: Timbuktu or Gao
Ceddin Deden: Istanbul
A Zaluzi to the Gods: Babylon
Thikriati, Hijaz Maqam: Anywhere in Saudi Arabia, or in Baghdad or Damascus
Morghe Sahar: Persepolis
Raga Asa: Delhi
Siam theme: Bangkok
Gao Shan Liu Shui: Xian
Arirang: Seoul
Mongolian Long Song: on the Mongolian plains
Rokudan no Shirabe: Kyoto
Hole Waimea: Honolulu

Pouakai · Dec 11, 2011, 10:09 AM

That's such an awesome idea! I might try as well!

MantaRevan · Dec 11, 2011, 10:26 AM

I think Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi's music kicks butt compared to the other cs. Siam and Greece have the best leader themes though. I wish they brought the volga boatsman back for Russia.
