This thread is to provide information of the music used in Civ 4, to allow people who loved the soundtrack (or parts of it) to be able to copy it into their own music folders and be able to tag and label the mp3s correctly. For those looking for more, where possible I'll also supply links to where you can get recordings of the full symphonies/operas etc of the movements featured, but note that these may not necessarily be the same recording that is on Civ 4.
I've searched around here a bit and whenever someone asks for the full names of the songs used in Civ 4, they just point them to the music folder, which isn't very helpful. So here is a list of all the era music. The Modern era music I found the names of thanks to a user named "Cskalenda" on the Civ 4 talk page on Wikipedia.
First of all, the music in the Medieval, Renaissance, Industrial and Modern eras uses music already recorded, from composers of the time. The rest of the music (intro theme, menu theme, new game loading music, leader music, Ancient soundtrack) is composed by people who worked on the Civ 4 team: Jeffrey L. Briggs, Mark Cromer, Michael Curran, and Christopher Tin.
Notes on naming:
Note that my method of naming does not include extra information such as "...for string quintet" or "...in C minor". Feel free to follow the links and add them if you wish, or figure out the key on your own. I have also replaced Roman numerals with their decimal equivalents so tracks appear correctly ordered when arranged alphabetically. Composers who have reached "one-name famousness" are only referred to with one name, eg Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, since everyone knows who they are. I haven't used symbols with accents for alphabet compatibility.
I'll post the mp3 filename, then the full name, and any more information if possible. Music is found in your Civ4\Assets\Sounds\Soundtrack folder.
Feel free to post corrections. I'm having trouble identifying exactly which Dvorak's Slavonic Dances I'm working with, so help there would be appreciated
