_Masterviolin Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I've always been a patron of classical music, and have been listening to it since my early childhood. As I would play with my parent's model ships, I would love listening to something good. Hence, I usually listen to these Youtube playlists when ganking around in Naval Action! *fear not! I am not promoting my own channel, or trying to advertise! 1: Musical Evenings with the Captain Philharmonia Virtuosi A total classic, I've had the CD since my early childhood. Composed of 26 short and light quartet pieces of the era of Jack Aubrey's exploits, the CD was apparently inspired by the books! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIKlc8N9oCaF3rhmFAFelFySazTorJNBF 2: Mozart Everywhere Mozart, playlist by Smalin Mozart is just great; a perfect mix between repetition and creative melodies and harmonies, classic for the era and fun to listen to. I hang around this playlist every once in a while! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5D2AC63011922F95 3: AC5 Black Flag Music It may not be everyone's favorite game around here (considering its glaring innacuracies), but its piratey music can be pretty great for pirates! Can't find a playlist, but i'm sure a YT search can uncover good stuff. 4: Classical Music for Relaxation Multiple composers, playlist by ClassicalMusicOnly Who doesn't like some classic Classical? Some truly divine and relaxing pieces will sooth your nerves after you lose your Trincomalee to a band of basic cutters, or see that the bloody French took your home in Mosquito Cay https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBB2DDD64CC993989 Got any recommendations anyone? 4
Hendrik die Seevaarder Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 How about some oldskool (even by Naval Action's time setting) early 18th century music by my man DJ Handel for all you hipster captains out there.
Will Collister Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks for these suggestions! I have a very similar taste to you, I think! 1: Musical Evenings with the Captain Philharmonia Virtuosi A total classic, I've had the CD since my early childhood. Composed of 26 short and light quartet pieces of the era of Jack Aubrey's exploits, the CD was apparently inspired by the books! Just wanted to flag that beyond this excellent album, there is also a Volume II. Both of these albums are on Spotify. Furthermore, in the same style, there is an album called Musical Evenings in the Captain's Cabin, also available on Spotify, that is also very good! And yes, they are inspired by the books and I believe that most, if not all, of the pieces are in fact mentioned or played in the books! 2
Niels Terkildsen Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I think Corelli and Pergolesi fit right in along with Bach, Händel, Boccherini, Haydn, etc. Try these: PS. Thank you for showing me those albums inspired by O'Brian! Unfortunately it seems they're not on YouTube anymore. Edited March 24, 2016 by Niels Terkildsen
Admiral 8Q Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I know this is a bit ahead of the time in-game, but I'll post this song anyways.
Zeekoning Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 While slightly more contemporary than the others, I suggest checking out this classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQoA_wjmE9w and also, Happy April Fools Day!
Pigafetta Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) I know it is not historically accurate but I am having so much fun navigating in a Lynx listening to the March from the film The bridge on the river Kway!! Weird I know but I love band music...and this one seems appropriate for a parade in my Lynx LOL. Give it a try! Here is another one... perfect!! Edited April 2, 2016 by Antonio_Pigafetta 1
Pigafetta Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 A little fun with music... I love this video! Gallantry and humor together!
Ruthless4u Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Sorry for some reason can't add YouTube vids. Always loved this movies classical music soundtrack https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9tjdswqGGVg

Weird I know but I love band music... Historically accurate? LOL. Antonio, I can help you out !!! Have a look at some older Prussian Music, they might fit your likes (if you fancy already "Alte Kameraden Marsch" (from 1889)), you will like both Prussian Marches (both are still being played on a regular basis at (North)-German festivals). Just having a thought. Renaming the BLACK FLAG NATION to PRUSSIA would end many discussions ! We already have the fitting music "Prussia´s glory..." Edited April 12, 2016 by Wilson09
