Who hates the modern era music?

[Infantry#14]

I think the civ4 modern era music is awful. Does anyone know some suitable classical pieces for modern era (and/or other eras too)?

 

[woooooooor]

I don't even know how someone could dislike John Adam's work

 

[Cort Haus]

It's possible that people who prefer harmony to discord dislike it. ;-)

If you want sth. awesome, search for "Wolfgang Fortner" Violine Concert, it's so difficult, that (I think) only the greatest Violinist on the whole Earth (Gerhard Taschner) could play it.

If you don't like disharmonic Music, you might find pleasure in "Fritz Kreisler's" Music, which is written in the style of former Artists. He composed great Work like "The Devils Trill's" which first was thought to be written by Guiseppe Tartini and "Praeludium and Allegro" which was thought to be written by Pugani, until Kreisler himself admitted, that he actually was the composer.

Actually you do yourself very easy, if you google the recordings of "Gerhard Taschner" if you really want quality, not in the kind that the record itself is recorded with AAA, at Taschners Time CDs did not even exist, but if you can adjust to some noise produced by the bad record-techniques of that time, you can actually hear a Violinist, that has never been reached again till today. He was Concert-Master of the best Orchestra in the World (Berliner Philharmoniker) but left them for a Solo-Carreer, and, he played lots of modern music, i. e. "Paul Hindemidt", "Kreisler", "Pfitzer", "Chatschaturjan" or "Fortner".

EDIT:

Some more Composers that are not really "modern" but also not "old":

Dvorak, Ravel, Brahms.

I agree. Much of the charm is gone when you enter the modern era. (at which point I usually play music from a custom folder, where all the music from the ancient>industrial era is located).

Decent workaround

I bought a couple Civil war marches, the CoD4 Main Menu theme, some jazz, and the theme for A Game of Thrones just because of that era's music

I keep music off now, I don't dislike it, but I've heard it enough, and just listen to CD's. I like Mahler, especially his 1st Symphony, or some Brass Band albums. I have a compilation I used to use when I played hearts of Iron of Military marches and War Movie themes that is also great. (Patton, A Bridge Too Far, Panzerlied, etc). Also, if you are on a map with heavy naval action, the soundtrack to Star Trek III:The Wrath of Khan is very reminiscent of an old time naval war movie.

Why not just add music you like for modern era?

It'd be nice if you could mod in a way to keep songs in a folder from playing until the game year has passed the song's release date.
