vcczar Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Here's a tentative list. Note: I can get music from for music made prior to 1926. I may need help finding free versions of historical music after 1926. It's possible, I may be compelled to just create music without consideration of eras, and just have a song track of say 30 songs for the entire game.

Umbrella Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Here are some off the top of my head, listed loosely chronologically: RIse Columbia is pretty old, I think around 1800. Shenandoah is also pretty old, I'm thinking early to mid 1800's. Turkey in the Straw for mid 1800's, but there might be some racial connotations with that one. Jimmy Crack Corn for mid 1800's. As with Turkey in the Straw, the minstrel songs, while part of our history and popular songs, you'll have to decide if that's something you want. You listed a few in your list already, so... I don't know when the actual John Henry song was written, but the song would still be appropriate in the Reconstruction era. Along that same line is I've Been Working on the Railroad. Shoo Fly from after the Civil War. She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain for late 1800's. Wabash Cannonball I think was from late 1800's. You're A Grand Old Flag from early 1900's. Big Rock Candy Mountain for early 1900's. You haven't listed more modern eras, but This Land is Your Land would be a good one, and might be public domain by now. Down in the Valley and On Top Of Old Smokey (Spaghetti) has been around forever, but I don't know exactly what eras those are from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCblue1 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 A good choice for the final song for the Gilded Age could be another Gilbert and Sullivan song, "I Am the very Model of a Major-General" and maybe only plays during periods of war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
