favourite music in the game?

For diplomacy, no one has mentioned Hannibal yet, but I really like his tune. Especially the middle one, but the late one is good too. Anyone know if it has a name?

I also tend to like just about any music from the Renaissance era forwards.

Baba Yetu is the best.

Because of the liberalism race I often spend little time in the medieval period, which, from the musical perspective is something of a pity. Maybe one of the reasons I'm so fond of the Oracle - Theology gambit is that I get to bypass the banalities of the classical period and enjoy the glories of Palestrina, Josquin, Ockeghem etc.

I always liked this one:

Oh, the Industrial Era. That era has the best music in my opinion. I don't like the rest of the songs though, not even Baba Yetu , I normally play with the music off.

Most people seem to hate the modern stuff, but I love it. It really conjures up whirly bustling metropolises and epic, nightmarish wars quite fantastically. The cacophonic crescendoes suit the apocalyptic war torn landscapes and merciless war machines quite nicely.

Then again, I listen to a lot of Stravinsky, Bartok and Shostakovich so John Adams isn't a huge challenge for me.

Went to a concert of the Paris symphony orchestra a few weeks ago and I heard a rather familiar tune. Brahms Hungarian Dance no. 1. Took me a while to realise that I knew it from civ 4! It was a very enjoyable experience.

Adams' music seems pretty anaemic stuff in comparison with that of the post-war avant garde period: Boulez, Xenakis, Ligeti etc. True, I have rather specialised musical tastes, but that's where the excitement lies for me in mid to late twentieth century music.

Well, yes, but there are limits to the amount of weirdness the average listener is capable of tolerating. Adams is okay, I don't listen to him except when I'm playing Civ, but he fits the game very well.

Allegri's Miserere is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

I couldn't agree more.

This is awesome: Harry Christophers and The Sixteen - Miserere Mei Deus


The Industrial Era is my favourite. I like all of the rest except for the Modern Era. It makes me want to kill things. Or myself.

 

[Optical]

The modern music is OK - it fits the era. Be glad they didn't use rap.

Oh my, that's the opposite for me. Civ4's medieval era seems like it's spent in a church, I much rather would listen to Civ3's medieval era music.

Meister Eckhardt

I like this upbeat medieval one

especially when it gets going at the end

I turn it off and listen to Psy Trance
