The Music Thread

[freethink]

True there are actually many soundtracks already in it, but I also wouldn't mind if there are more included.

These are also some good soundtracks. It will work well with islamic or ancient Egypt/Mesopotamian civs

I would also love to see more ancient Mesopotamian, Rome, Greeks, Egypt style theme during the ancient and classical era

I am actually making a folder to upload as a pull request, but most of it is strictly (or near strictly) authentic and not like film music. I don't want to tell others what to do but in my music proposals I try to find music from real fragments or at least from historical instruments in most cases.

For example, more like this

I would actually prefer more music that sounds like the current Classical era soundtrack.

I'm sorry I misunderstood your posts in prior years then.

I am a little surprised given that most of the music is music history and it seems an Indian Jones exception is being made here . I also think there could be some cross-overs. Does this go for the Asian soundtracks as well?

 

[Leoreth]

Why exception? Historical soundtracks begin in the Medieval period, that has always been the case.

Are we talking Rhyes here or original civ? The 'Ancient' soundtrack sounded like an attempt to replicate real music and that each era would show an advancement of music theory/use of instruments and so forth. There were huge changes on the course from stone to metal instruments. It seems the 'classical' era just skips over this.

I'm also not entirely sure if the two always have to be mutually exclusive.

 

[Leoreth]

There is no difference between the two. Nothing you say contradicts the fact that historical music only starts to feature in the medieval era and the earlier eras are using pieces specifically composed for the game.

As far as Asian music goes, I think guqin pieces are the most fitting as soundtrack, because they are generally unobtrusive and usually euharmonic even to western ears.

I can definitely get some guqin pieces. How would Persian flutes go for the classical era?

What do you think of these? They might fit more for the Greeks, Romans and classical era Byzantines

I also really like Civ6s Trajan theme it might suit for the classical era if you play as Rome or Greece.

Also some Mesoamerican soundtracks before they converted to a state religion?

 

[ShinobiHus92]

Awesome soundtrack for the steppe civs like the Turks and Mongols? Before they convert to a state religion

Toughts? You think these might fit into the mod?

PS: sorry for the double post

Well technically the medieval music in base civ 4 isn't entirely historical either. Most of the choir music used actually was composed during the Renaissance and not the Middle Ages. So it was most likely just used because church/choir music sounds like our own Hollywood definition of what Medieval music sounded like. Gregorian chants on the other hand, now that's Medieval.

I have uploaded an Asian, Classical and African proposal as pull requests!

 

[Leoreth]

Can you please link the corresponding music in the pull request?

Can you please link the corresponding music in the pull request?

You mean provide links on Git hub? Correct?
Sure!

 

[Leoreth]

Somewhere. You can also post the music here and link to the PR. I just need to know the connection.
