@@primalreversion7034 (copy-pasted from dillionderosa.com): The main theme of the south, Dixieland and the theme of the North, Battle Hymn of the Republic are played one after the other to depict the conflict between the two armies. A development battle ensues as the conflict between the two grow. Concluding the battle is a triumphant version of Dixieland to represent the South dominating the war up to this point. General Stonewall Jackson is introduced next in a joyous marching victory. His theme is built to a climatic end with two abrupt cannon shots to represent Jackson’s sudden death when he was shot twice by his own confused men. The North then starts to have major victories with battles such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg. These northern victories forced the South to be on the defensive for the rest of the war. After a grandiose Battle Hymn of the Republic, the south returns with William T. Sherman’s theme, Marching Through Georgia. Continuing with the southern themes, Swing Low is introduced to represent the struggle of the slaves. The North and South themes return once more before another developmental battle erupts. However, this time the North is victorious concluding the war between them. The piece ends in a exciting coda with the North, South, and the abolishment of slavery represented with a jubilant Swing Low finale.

To be fair, Puritans in New England enjoyed music but typically as congregationalist singing of the psalms. Many of their psalms are based on secular melodies of the time so make of that what you will.

There's a certain amount of irony in the VVitchfinder General having arguably the best theme yet canonically hating everything about music that didn't praise God.

[@cheesedoff-with4410]

Did Matthew Hopkins hate music? True, the only music in a puritan service were psalms, (no organ), but puritans did have music outside of the church. Do we know anything about the musical tastes of the innkeeper of the Thorn at Mistley? (I've looked and haven't found anything so far). The character that Vincent Price played may indeed have hated secular music; I don't know - it was back in the 70s when I saw it on telly, and I can't remember. And in the course of checking, I find the UK version is shorter than the US cut, has a different title, and the scores are by different composers! I'll bet the US version doesn't have the spaceship scene.

When it was introduced, I felt like i was at the end of the journey, not a game, and when it picked up, so did the fight. It was the best moment of the game, when you finally end them, and liberate europe from nazi occupation. Overall, this Ost was 11 out of 10, but Klaus's Theme is easilly a 20 out of 10." - Johhny Reb, possessed by a Nazi "The Quakers Will Burn In Europe Now!" - Witchfinder General Couldn't say it better than Johhny, as everything he says about Klaus's Theme is true.
