How were you able to access the files though? What's the folder path? I can't seem to find the music in the Assets folder.

I was looking for this topic, read it all and here's a complete list. The instrument part is done by researching musician's names in the credits. For example, Deepak Ram is credited for India's ancient era music so it's safe to assume that a bansuri is used for India's ancient era soundtrack.
Update: I also looked up credits.xml where everybody is listed with instruments they played and compared it to the credits for music scores on Civ's official YT channel
Civilization: Instrument (performer), Tune
America: Fiddle (Patrick McAvinue) and banjo (Brad Kolodner), Hard Times Come Again No More
Arabia: Qanun (Kylie Hilali), Talama Ashku Gharami (Arabic version of Kâtibim)
Aztec: South American Flute (Roland Rizzo), ?
Brazil: Seven-string guitar (Cesar Garabini) and cavaquinho (Kahil Nayton), Brejeiro
China: Guzheng (Bing Xia), Mo Li Hua
Egypt: Ney or kawala (Chakib Hilali), El Helwa Di
England: ?, Scarborough Fair
France: ?, Tourdion
Germany: ?, Ich hab die Nacht geträumet

Japan: Shakuhachi (Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin), Rokudan no shirabe?

Is it me or is it that the Roman theme music sounds Asiatic? But again, this may be a coincidence that Roman music is primarily pentatonic like East Asian music.
Play Russia in MedievalI hate to say it but because this is a slow-paced game with lots of downtime between turns, I usually have the sound turned off and the television on . I almost always do this when playing PC games where sound isn't important to gameplay (for FPS, for instance, you need to be able to hear). And they went to all that trouble on music and Sean Bean...

I'm still in the process of listening through, but sometimes the songs for different eras of the same civ sound a little too similar, and to be honest, I'm a little disappointed in the lack of any type of pop music in the atomic era songs. I know Christopher Tin is a badass composer and all, and maybe he doesn't know diddly squat about pop music, but wouldn't you expect the atomic era song for England to at least sound like British Invasion rock 'n roll? Couldn't the atomic era song for Japan sounded at least a bit like J-pop? Atomic era Norway just screams for death metal.
Agreed. I hated Civ4's modern era music. With a passion. But Civ6's atomic age music is actually quite nice. Wish they had gone with jazz for America, though...One thing I was kind of dreading was the return of Modern Era Civ IV music. As much as I loved the soundtrack for that game, literally nothing but John Adams drove me nuts.
So playing the game and listening to the soundtrack, I really like the variety of styles Knorr and co. invoked for the Atomic-era themes. Japan and England, for example, have a kind of cyberpunk-inspired digital sound. Some others, like America, sound more like rock ballads. Greece sounds more like a film score. They even threw in some almost Phillip Glass-style minimalism for the Aztec.
This is true throughout eras, but I noticed (and appreciate) it most with Atomic.
Jazz would have been perfect for Industrial era America.Agreed. I hated Civ4's modern era music. With a passion. But Civ6's atomic age music is actually quite nice. Wish they had gone with jazz for America, though...
So... Poland's music was found inside the game files.
From the video poster:The music at 5:50 sounds different from the other songs in this video, at least to me. I wonder why it's grouped with the others.
