Civilization V music - Europe - Elegy

“It is well that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it.”

"Don't clap too had, its a very old building"

[@jackkelly4852]

If you watch WW2 in Color episode number 2, you'll hear the first 30 seconds of this piece at 46:23

[@Pece17]

Jack Kelly I'm just watching the show and I wondered upon this song. What a coincidence!

[@comradewildcat1770]

How the hell did you catch that? Everytime I hear this song I think of Civ V, but I've watched WW2 in colour at least 10 times the past few years and never thought of it but now that I saw that part again it suddenly clicked in my brain that that's the reason why it felt so familiar at that scene. Odd.

[@KakaCarrotCakeVideos]

That is because it is from Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 23 in A, K. 488 Just compare Elegy at 1:20 Mozart at around 15:35

[@stephanomacho6521]

I feel like this is the greatest song of Civilization 5's soundtrack.

[@grunt117]

This is one of the best European soundtracks for me; Civ has so much music content from around the world, the other cultural music pieces (Middle East/Africa, Asia, and the Americas) can’t be ignored 💯

This and Field of Poppies always make me feel terrible for waging war and I end up going for a peace deal while they play lol, very effective music

Please... please spare our civilization... 🥺

Hear this while I'm dominating a civ to extinction in war.

[@Adeon55]

Victory... :'(

[@christophercarlone9945]

Currently playing as Germany in Civ V and launched an all out Barbarossa style invasion of nearly every Civ except Rome, the Huns, and Sweden. Sweden decided to denounce me for no particular reason, even after leaving them be all game, supporting them in the World Congress, trading with them, and even sometimes giving them material for free. After the denunciation, I knew I had no choice. This is first theme that came to mind once I declared war on them. Oh Gustav, how you mislead your once brave people.

[@jinderbreadman]

This track defines Civ 5 for me. It screams "Man, it would be better if we could just resolve this through diplomatic means...." Then I remember that the AI must die because it "told the world of my sins" for no reason a few turns ago. 🤣

[@Unwichtigmail]

this track always comes when you drop an attomic bomb above a city in civ 5 stil the best music, i once just startet a war and paused it just to hear this music

[@svikelt]

I've had Field of Poppies played before after dropping a bomb, too. Both are beautifully sad to listen to.

[@sethweinberg3907]

So beautiful and so sad ;-;

[@onlinepokeraddict]

I suddenly feel bad for the people in that Zulu city I bombed.

[@henryalpaca1536]

They would have done the same for your cities

[@LucasDarkGiygas]

Thanks for posting these songs.

[@liviemillie6455]

It has almost the same melody in some parts as Field of Poppies.

[@Gavlavyus_Rumi]

"Don't clap it too hard, it is very old building."

[@KakaCarrotCakeVideos]

This song is Piano Concerto No. 23 II. Adagio by Mozart

[@bjornolsson2696]

Not a chance.

[@nakanoyuko]

It features a similar enough chord transition to warrant maybe theres specific inspiration, but different enough that it's also possible the composer has not heard of it and just is similarly educated in some regards. If I had to bet my life I would indeed guess the Elegance composer has heard that Adagio and started his wriring around it as a foundation

[@KakaCarrotCakeVideos]

[@magnumpineapple277]

Sounds like an elegy to the human race after the planet has coated with blanket of nuclear ash. Fitting, then, that this reminds me of the reprise of the Schindler’s List theme.

[@dannya1854]

I fear we won't go out in a blaze of fire, but decay from the rot by our own species's crimes against ourselves and the planet. All coastal cities overrun, all ice caps melted, all permafrost disintegrated, all endangered animals have become extinct, billions of people suffering while a few thousand rule from ivory mansions far away from the real world.

[@enclaveblacklegion5386]

Proud Shoshone empire refuses to accept defeat. In last attempt makes pact with China to declare war on warmongering Netherland. Inicial forces successfully conquer city of Gao, but they refuse to acknowledge people Shonhai as sovereign nation as a result millions are killed or forced to flee. Shoshone could not match industrial power and advancements of Netherland. Over the next decades city of Gao was changing government many times each time resulting in major population loses to the point where there was no one left. World historians describe battle of Gao as the bloodiest event since ancient era. Event that created what we now call railroad of death. First and longest railroad, across half of the world. They say that during battle of Gao no soldier who went on that railroad has ever returned home.

[@Misa_Susaki]

ok.

Remember this song in some of my sad moments...

[@siggevibes]

Much feeling in this

[@timeweaselproduction]

Whenever I heard this, I always got some strong Eastern Front vibes

[@slavaskii8443]

master of procrastination I do too! Mainly because I play Russia and associate the two together, lol. But the music in this game is better than all else. They perfectly captured emotion and it’s incredible.

[@bartholomewdan]

Personally, I just see a picture of someone at home getting a letter that someone they love has died in a war that you started.

[@awedelen2]

The end of empire isn't the end of civilization, it's beginning of something new.

[@CamCo55]

I didn't vapourize that civilization, I liberated it.

It's from a music library. The name of the song is elegy in the music library, which is either DeWolf or APM music.

“The things I believed in dont exist any more. It's foolish to pretend that they do. Western Civilization finally went up in smoke in the chimneys at Dachau but I was too infatuated to see it. I see it now.”

Is this melody actually from "schindler's list" movie?

Very reminiscent, although here the cello takes the lead melody, while in Schindler's the violin does...

Piano Concerto No. 23 by Mozart

Why this music always play when I’m about to nuke a country after that I feel guilty

[@starwarsfamilyguy0]

Civ 6 really is worthless trash compared to this

[@poisonated7467]

Absolutely, dunno how they went from good design, both graphically and game-wise, and good music to Civ VI.
