 | Breaking the Chains || 3:35 || Mattias Westlund || breaking_the_chains.ogg || Written primarily for the first scenario of Northern Rebirth, but really could be used for any early scenario in a campaign. Another one of the classic Wesnoth themes. Starts off somewhat calm, but then builds to be more battle-like in the middle, before calming down again for a sad spell and then petering out.

@@ Line 35: / Line 35: @@
 | Heroes' Rite || 3:39 || Doug Kaufman || heroes_rite.ogg || A somewhat quiet and calmer track; probably appropriate for single-character scenarios where a character has to face a trial alone. Reminiscent of a hero being sad about a comrade dying, but then realizing that they have to summon their courage and see their quest through to the end.
 |-
-| Into the Shadows || 3:25 || Tyler Johnson || into_the_shadows.ogg || Nocturnal-sounding theme. A good one for scenarios featuring the undead. Has a vaguely threatening aura to it.
+| Into the Shadows || 3:25 || Tyler Johnson || into_the_shadows.ogg || Nocturnal-sounding theme. A good one for scenarios featuring the undead. Has a vaguely threatening aura to it. A bit more mild/quiet and mysterious than the title might suggest; less fitting for action/events than it is for atmosphere.
 |-
 | Journey's End || 3:44 || Mattias Westlund || journeys_end.ogg || Somewhat subdued; appropriate for calm moments. Doesn't necessarily ''have'' to take place at a "Journey's End", but would certainly make sense for one. Appropriate both as credits music and for scenarios with elves.

@@ Line 15: / Line 15: @@
 | Battle Epic || 1:14 || Doug Kaufman || battle-epic.ogg || For epic battles. Starts with a nice drumroll; mostly strings, with a few choir effects.
 |-
-| Battle Music || 5:18 || Aleksi Aubry-Carlson ||  battle.ogg || The classic battle theme. Wide variety of instruments used; pretty catchy. Should work in most scenarios.

@@ Line 64: / Line 64: @@
 |-
 | Siege of Laurelmor || 4:22 || Doug Kaufman || siege_of_laurelmor.ogg || Epic-sounding battle music. Has some sad reflective moments interspersed between pounding city-destroying assaults. Probably makes the most sense when it's elves who are being besieged.
 |-
 | Silvan Sanctuary || 3:36 || Matthias Westlund (West) || silvan_sanctuary.ogg || Starts off with nature noises. A good forest-y sounding piece for cutscenes featuring elves. Relatively calm and happy.
@@ Line 71: / Line 69: @@
 | Suspense || 5:20 || Ryan Reilly || suspense.ogg || As the name says, it's suspenseful. Good for cutscenes with revelations. Probably also makes sense for underground maps with shroud where the heroes must descend into darkness.
 |-
-| The City Falls || 4:06 || Doug Kaufman || the_city_falls.ogg ||
+| The City Falls || 4:06 || Doug Kaufman || the_city_falls.ogg || Epic-sounding battle music; pretty similar to "Battle Epic" (same composer and similar instrumentation)
 |-
-| The Dangerous Symphony || 5:26 || Gianmarco Leone || the_dangerous_symphony.ogg ||
+| The Deep Path || 3:37 || Gianmarco Leone || the_deep_path.ogg || An underground-sounding theme. Probably appropriate for nighttime scenarios featuring undead. Also makes sense for Knalgans. There's a background noise that sounds like steam escaping from a piston for much of it. If used for caves, the caves probably have crystals in them.
 |-
-| The Deep Path || 3:37 || Gianmarco Leone || the_deep_path.ogg ||
+| The King is Dead || 3:41 || Mattias Westlund || the_king_is_dead.ogg || One of the few tracks with multiple versions of it out there; there's another version of it with vocals in Westlund's "The Wesnoth Years" album on the iTunes Store, but the vocals are removed in the version actually used in Wesnoth. In either case: a sad-sounding track appropriate for cutscenes where a party member has just experienced a plot-caused death. The character who has died doesn't necessarily have to have been a king; it could be any character deeply missed and grieved for by the remaining party members. Has a mix between sounding elvish-aligned and sounding loyalist-aligned.
 |-
-| The King is Dead || 3:41 || Mattias Westlund || the_king_is_dead.ogg ||
+| Transience || 0:48 || Aleksi Aubry-Carlson || transience.ogg || A sad track that probably also works for character deaths, or as a defeat jingle.
 |-
-| Transience || 0:48 || Aleksi Aubry-Carlson || transience.ogg ||
+| Traveling Minstrels || 3:35 || Mattias Westlund || traveling_minstrels.ogg || Calm-sounding music appropriate for exploring elvish forests. Relatively peaceful. Builds to a triumphant climax before reprising the main calm melody one last time.
 |-
-| Traveling Minstrels || 3:35 || Mattias Westlund || traveling_minstrels.ogg ||
+| Underground || 1:52 || Aleksi Aubry-Carlson || underground.ogg || As the title says, it's music for underground scenarios. Slow and deliberate.
 |-
-| Underground || 1:52 || Aleksi Aubry-Carlson || underground.ogg ||
+| Vengeful Pursuit || 6:00 || Jeremy Nicoll || vengeful.ogg || An exciting battle track. Certainly vengeful-sounding, but doesn't necessarily have to be used for pursuit-based scenarios; also works for sieges or other large-scale confrontations. Could be considered to fit the idea of "The City Falls" more than the track actually called "The City Falls" does.
 |-
-| Vengeful Pursuit || 6:00 || Jeremy Nicoll || vengeful.ogg ||
+| Victory || 0:05 || Timothy Pinkham || victory.ogg || Short victory jingle.
 |-
-| Victory || 0:05 || Timothy Pinkham || victory.ogg ||
+| Victory || 0:21 || Ryan Reilly || victory2.ogg || Slightly longer victory jingle.
 |-
-| Victory || 0:21 || Ryan Reilly || victory2.ogg ||
+| Still Another Wanderer || 4:22 || Timothy Pinkham || wanderer.ogg || Calm exploration music. Pairs well with "Traveling Minstrels", although this one is a bit more mysterious. Probably makes sense for scenarios with fog turned on.
 |-
-| Weight of Revenge || 4:02 || Doug Kaufman || weight_of_revenge.ogg ||
+| Weight of Revenge || 4:02 || Doug Kaufman || weight_of_revenge.ogg || Weighty and vengeful. Gives the impression that "Revenge" is the name of an overly-large sword that an antihero is dragging behind them, with the intent of executing an enemy in one giant swing. Has some foreign-sounding female vocal effects.
