What is the sabre theme music?

[harf4ng]

Hi,

I have asked DCS team, and they told me this is a home made music.

But what kind of music is it? Jazz? What kind of Jazz, if this is so, and what kind of artist I should listen to, to hear the same kind?

 

Meanwhile, as this is a korean war plane, I'm listening to 60th kind of rock, on rockradio.com, because they do not have a 50th rock channel :)

 

Thanks

Probably swing jazz might be the place to start.

This is the pop music that preceded rock n roll. It is the continuation/evolution of the 1940s big band swing music. There were modern (to me 1990's was modern, now classic?) groups that did 1940s swing/dance music that sound similar: Cherry Poppin' Daddies for instance

Watch this and hear almost exactly the same sound ;)

Classic music:

No end to this stuff. My dad was a sax player in the Navy. I grew up loving band music :)

Yes, I think it's just an american swing jazz of the 40-50's.

Thread necromancy... just loaded it up for first time, and I could SWEAR it's "Run, Rudolph, Run" by Chuck Berry.

 

The song has a line in it about a Sabre Jet. :thumbup:

To me it more seems like a slowed down version of "Jump, Jive, an' Wail" but no matter what it is a great pick with that early jazzy/swing influenced rock. I really like that about all of the wall papers that have music, it helps set the mode for sure!

Haha, nice thread restore guys. With all the updates I'm not surprised. I am actually a musicologist and former music librarian now cross trained for teens and young adults. Video games and Anime cartoons haha! But to the point, the Sabre menu music is 50s rock n roll. It's early style with jazz style semi-acoustic electric guitars, like Chuck Berry and so on. Rock n Roll grew out of Jazz just like Rhythm n Blues. Big Band swing even predates WWII so it is definitely 1930-40s stuff. But the 50s brought us rock n roll so it is timely for that. I am not sure what tune it is and wouldn't be surprised if it sounds like one you know. Most pop, jazz and rock tunes followed the 12 bar blues chord progression, I IV V IV I for all you music theory nerds out there. I will look for those tunes you mentioned and see. I was actually a renaissance specialist and choral singer. Had a pro gig with the St. Paul's choir school in Cambridge, which also serves as the Harvard Catholic Center, for on to 17 years before I retired. Yesterday was our first mass back after quarantine! I still like and use the epic orchestral battle theme from the Caucuses menu.

 

edit* I have since changed my menu theme to the Sabre. I guess Big Band still applies to describe the ensemble but the style is definitely more towards Rock n Roll. Sock Hop kinda thing.

Where do I go in-game to hear this F-86 theme music? I only hear the DCS theme, the thumping ominous minor key music that sounds like the original Doom, episode 1, level 5.

LOL

[Squiffy]

Change the theme in the menus to F-86 not Caucuses.

[Treker]

This one fits perfectly

Sounds like a jump band. Jump Blues was the bridge between swing and early Rock and Roll. It was popular in the late 1940s and early 1950s. 

 

[Squiffy]

Late Swing, Early Rock n Roll, Sock Hop, Boogie Woogie style. Notable instrument is the electrified acoustic (jazz) guitar which gives you the familiar Chuck berry sound.

And that Jump Blues is basically Bebop! (again late 40's, 1950s!) The higher speed riffs and frenetic sound was a way for traditional African American musicians to compete with the mainstream Swing bands that were copying and dominating the earlier style, and make it fresh, challenging and new again, "authentic" to the culture. You might also compare the frenetic pace to the new popularity of "up pills" or "recreational" amphetamines appearing after WWII. (Some were prescribed by flight surgeons for long overseas missions. Richard Bach describes this in one of his books on the Tactical Air Command experience in the early 60s. USAFE ferry and deployment. Can't remember which one.) Jack Kerouac's epic "Beat" masterwork _On the Road_ provides many examples of the "recreational" practice in civilian life.
