WesnothMusic
This is a sample of music from the GPL game "Battle for Wesnoth- I believe that this is striking to the ear, and demonstrates how close Wesnoth is to a commercial-quality game.

 * As if you'd nominate and oppose. Let's drop the redundant support by nominators here? Support—Aren't they lucky to have such good music, well recorded, for a game. Tony 06:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC) PS Except that the info file says nothing about who the performers and recordists are, and when and where. That would be nice. Tony 06:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not my fault- the "nominate and support" thing is in the template for creating this page :( Anyway, I know the artist's name, and I'm pretty sure it's his work alone. Actually, I think his name needs to be on the image page anyway by the rules of GFDL. Good catch. Borisblue 06:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC
 * The wesnoth forums aren't working at the moment, but when they're up again I'll get more information about how he composed this piece (maybe some sheet music as well) Borisblue 06:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - high-quality recording, good stuff. Moreschi Talk 13:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support nicely done, good illustration for the article. Mak (talk)  15:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Great game music. Some parts vaguely remind me of the Morrowind score.  I agree with borisblue; this music definitely comes close to a professional/commercial level, and is certainly one of the best examples of free domain video game music there are.  Berens 01:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There's a forum post where the composer talks in detail about the similarity to Morrowind. Oh, and now that I'm here, I'm also in support, I think it's a good example of original music for a GPL game - and once the next major Wesnoth version is out, there will hopefully appear some reviews on the web mentioning the music, which will allow to extend the section about the game's music in the article. --Allefant 08:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
