Not sure if this was mentioned but Rome music is Magna Mater by Synaulia.
What? I'm not being sarcastic! Ancient Egypt was not an Arabic civilization so its theme shouldn't be some Arabic folk song or something! That's only logical, right?...I can't tell if you're serious...
The era after industrial is atomic age, which according to most people start at 1945, right?That would be a bit early (they heyday of jazz was the 30s and 40s) but I'd roll with it.
I don't think it was mentioned yet.
We should seriously have a master list of the themes.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but how does the Music work, exactly?
Does each Civ have its own soundtrack during the whole game? Are there "common tracks" that play for every Civ on certain eras? Do you get a combination of the Music from every Civ present in your game?
I'm wondering because I kept listening to "Kalinka" (as posted before) during a Japan playtrough. I did have Russia in the game, but the music played during several long turns without visiting my friend Peter.

This is what Polish music is based on (at least in case of 9 of 10 tracks cos "PolandAncientDance_New" sounds much different than the rest of the melodies, for me it has Japanese vibe or something like that):
The "Japanese vibe" probably comes from the use of the pentatonic scale which was commonly used in Polish folk music and is still largely used in East Asian music.
(Guess I remember something from my music theory lessons from highschool!)
Sayed Darwish was very much an Egyptian musician, though as you note in the sound, operating in the early 20th century, and not from the time of the Pharaohs. He's considered the father of Egyptian popular music and perhaps Egypt's greatest composer. His other works include the music for Egypt's national anthem. But it is also very much Arab music, from the modern circumstances of the region.But why is Cleopatra's theme some Arabic sounding song? Shouldn't it sound more Egyptian? As in Ancient Egyptian?
Yes, but since we know nothing about Egyptian music except what instruments they used, later music from the region is the next best thing.What? I'm not being sarcastic!

Most people would put the end of the industrial age around the turn of the century; the period of 1900s-1940s is usually called the modern era, or in American culture, quite appropriately, the Jazz Age.The era after industrial is atomic age, which according to most people start at 1945, right?
So the period you're talking about would be the tail end of the industrial age.
Fair enough, but I tend not to think of the "modern" era as a thing.Yes, but since we know nothing about Egyptian music except what instruments they used, later music from the region is the next best thing.

It's a civilization game. I don't know about you, but I'm going to play an extreme number of hours of this game just like I did with the other versions.I really don't like the music in this game. It's a snorefest. Loved it in civ4 though in that game real classical masterpieces were used, But hey, it's not easy to compete with composers like Bach and Beethoven. I also don't really aporeciate sogno volare but thats not a problem. It's the ingame music that counts. If they fix the game and I ever play IT again I'll probably just turn it off.
