It felt kinda dead in here so I though I'd make a new thread.
I don't know about any of you, but if theres something I love it's early Baroque, it's simply fantastic, and seeing how this game takes place during that time I thought I would share some with you - though it's mostly German and Swedish Baroque (The Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus was kind of a hero at the time and had many great pieces written for him). Anyway, there's also some battlefield music as well, such as Cavalry trumpets and infantry music too. It's simply great, but yeah. All of these were written during the time span of the Thirty years war (1630s or earlier) which mean it was also in the latter part of the Eighty Years War. Enjoy:
Hendrich Lübeckh - Auffzug printipal No.4
This is actually battlefield music - well inspired by. Think about that, they ripped each other apart to music like this. Just brilliant.

Erasmus Widmann - Aller Freyen Tromettern zu Ehren
Here we got some cavalry trumpets.

Adolphus Terserus - Quadricinium triumphale
Music to celebrate the success of the Swedish army in the Thirty Years War in 1632 (The same year the king would later die)

Jacob Praetorius - Salve decus suecorum Rex Gustave Adolphe
A piece to celebrate the Swedish king, first preformed in 1623

Johann Staden - Plausus Noricus
One of my favourite pieces. It was composed in Nuremberg when the Swedish army had marched in, it plays on the general feeling of the end of the earth and the Swedes are there to liberate them from the eagle (The Lion from the North), just beautiful.

Now I know this is mainly pieces to celebrate the Swedish king and the Swedish intervention in the Thirty Years War but that's mostly cause it's what I'm listening to, and secondly it does very well 'show' how music during that period sounded like - It's all in Latin and German. If you got some pieces yourselves that you like to post, feel free to do so.
