Journal Short Circuit's Journal: RPG: Music in RPGs 1
I've got a CD called Pure Moods vol. 2, and it's got some interesting music on it.
For a fantasy setting, I especially like the first two tracks. The first track, Loreena McKennitt's Mummer's Dance, sounds like it might work for a generic bard band performance. The second track, Montezuma, might be overheard near an Orc encampment.
Many RPGs include settings include environments where music is appropriate. A fantasy-setting bar might have a bard or two. A modern-era resteraunt might have mood music. A club might have techno. And there's lots of music out there that could be used for props. Check out the Internet Archive and the Mod Archive for free, downloadable music. Better yet, head over to Pandora to set up and tune a few streaming radio stations to exactly the kind of music you want in your planned environements.
Instruments that aren't appropriate to the period could be accounted for using ghost sound or other illusory figment spells.
