09-21-06, 04:49 PM Ed Greenwood covers the answer to this question (for certain places), in his replies at candlekeep. I believe it is in the 06 replies, but it is no earlier than 05. it was a long, 2 part response :).

-GaridasAh, one of my favorite Realmsian subjects...

Both music and musical items in the Realms are discussed in both the 2e and 3e FRCS.

Ed gave us the "Music in the Realms" article in DRAGON #124.

A wide selection of FR sourcebooks (mostly 2e) provide some details on songs and oral traditions in the Realms, like the new Waterdeeep sourcebook which has lore about New Olamn (as does Elaine's New Olamn article in DRAGON #335). A number of specific song titles, like "The Cormyte's Boast" from Volo's Guide to Cormyr, have been collated in Krash's listing (found here (http://www.candlekeep.com/library/notebook.htm)). Note however, that it is not "all-inclusive." During my own research of music in the Realms (for my proposed Compendium articles), I've discovered several titled songs that have not been mentioned on the listing.

As well, Ed has talked about songs (as well as some specific musical pieces) here in his replies at Candlekeep -- specifically his '04 and '05 replies.

Several novels also provide us with insights into the "musical scene" of various locations. For example, Richard Lee Byers contribution to the Halls of Stormweather anthology -- 'Song of Chaos'. It's a musically-themed piece with considerable references to the musical scene in Sembia.

As well, The Yellow Silk, provides some tidbits on the musical scene and some popular songs in both Spandeliyon and Shou Lung.
