Dear Patrons, 

I know that many of you really enjoy the music in our videos (most of which is not easily available for casual listening), and I was recently asked if it would be possible to make some of it available to Patreon supporters.

The answer is - yes!

I will soon be sharing some musical scores from past videos here on Patreon, for the Lords and Ladies ($5) tier and above.

Let me know in the comments which episodes you'd most like to hear!

My favorite, by far, is Viking by Joseph Heath! Especially during the episode discussing Ney: "What a soldier! The army is full of brave men, but Michel Ney is truly the bravest of the brave!"

Luca Schneider

The Battle for Mantua video at 10:20 love that soundtrack :)

Stuart Carver

Oh man all of them. The opening song used in The Belisarius videos, the opener in 1917, the song playing in the latest video while talking about Alvinci and Napoleon’s dispositions, the opener of the Alexander The Great videos, 29.11 in the Decemberist video, The Abbasid song while describing the frontier war with the Eastern Romans the list is endless. You might regret asking now 😂

Martin Dráb

Yeah, that would be great! I especially love music when describing Napoleon's army for Russia, Austria's entry to the war in 1813 (and Napoleon's only large attack at the Battle of the Nations).

Victor Deleon

Yes, Thank you! My favorite soundtrack has got to be virgo by Goncalo Martins. You used it for the very first episode of Napoleon: Downfall right after the intro, and it has stuck with me since.

I have a slightly different suggestion. Would it be possible to make a video about the role of music in (Napoleonic) warfare? Think about how battle drums and trumpets are used as signals for marching/rowing tempo, intimidating enemies, sound signals for attack, retreat etc. Sound signal that the elite units are moving in etc. I'm always fascinated by the mini marching bands that always accompany (Napoleonic) troops in battles. More recent examples are the song "Panama' by Van Halen during Panama invasion. Question to Chat GPT: What was the role of battle drums and trumpets in historical battles? Chat GPT: Battle drums and trumpets played important roles in historical battles, serving as crucial instruments for communication and coordination on the battlefield. Here's a brief overview of their roles: Battle Drums: Battle drums, also known as war drums, were percussion instruments used to transmit signals and commands across the battlefield. Their deep and resonant sound carried over long distances, making them effective in coordinating troops. The drums were typically played in specific rhythms and patterns to convey different messages to the soldiers. The beats of the drums could signal various commands, such as advancing, retreating, changing formations, or launching an attack. They were particularly useful in noisy and chaotic environments where vocal commands might not be easily heard or understood. The steady rhythm of the drums also helped instill a sense of discipline and cohesion among the troops. It created a synchronized heartbeat for the army, boosting morale and providing a sense of unity. Additionally, the repetitive and powerful sound of the drums could intimidate the enemy, creating a psychological impact on the opposing forces. Trumpets: Trumpets, or more specifically, military bugles, were brass instruments used for signaling commands and conveying messages during battles. They were typically played by specialized soldiers known as trumpeters or buglers. The distinct and piercing sound of the trumpet carried over the noise of battle, making it an effective means of communication. Bugle calls played on the trumpet had specific meanings and were understood by the soldiers. Each call signaled a different action or order, such as assembling troops, sounding the charge, ceasing fire, or retreating. These signals allowed for precise coordination and synchronization of movements on the battlefield. Similar to battle drums, the use of trumpets served both practical and psychological purposes. They facilitated clear and quick communication in the chaos of combat and enhanced the overall discipline and unity of the troops. Moreover, the sound of the trumpet carried a sense of authority and urgency, instilling a heightened sense of duty and determination among the soldiers. Overall, battle drums and trumpets played critical roles in historical battles by facilitating communication, coordination, discipline, and psychological impact on the battlefield.

I like the one where the coalition army start to attack paris and marmont surrenders the city

Eli Khanam

I'm mostly interested in the royalty-free music used in the majority of videos, so it would be helpful to have a resource listing them for anyone curious.

Gage Hardesty

That's good, the songs I like are the ones you used to show how fast Napoleon's army is in the Brenta Valley and I liked the music that you made in the end of the Abbasid video that really got the chills in my body for that music, and last but not least the music you did for the end of the Battle of Arcole, I mean that was epic to listen to.

Alfredo Ríos Escandón

the score of Napoleon's maneuver at the beginning of the battle of Arcole please. That was amazing!!!

thomas griffin

Toby, Thanks for the opportunity to participate. The Napoleon series narrator and music are what pulled me into this circle. The two musical themes that are top shelf: Viking (Joseph Heath) and Virgo (Goncalo Martins). Others have highlighted them and I simply concur. If you can capture other similar themes as those two, you will be heading in the right direction. Looking forward to new fantastic series. All the best.

Victor Deleon

Just for reference, the time stamp is 00:48 seconds into the 3 hour video of Downfall (The Spanish Ulcer).

EpicHistoryTV

The music sources are generally listed in the credits and/or video descriptions for each video, but if there is something you're particularly keen to track down, let me know!

EpicHistoryTV

Thanks you for the suggestion! It's an interesting topic, perhaps one for the future.. although possibly more suited to a podcast or radio programme than a video.

Nicolo' Pariani

I really enjoyed the music listened while Napoleon decided to follow Wurmser along the Brenta’s valley, and also when he striked the Austrians in the final assault on the village of Arcole. Thank you so much for your work!

Francis Morin

The music at Borodino and at the battle of the Berezina were electrifying. Could these be added too?

Scott Saunders

Any of the soundtrack from the Campaign in Italy

Danny Loftis

I really like the track used in the Castiglione video at 20:14 (patreon timestamps)

David G

The music from the complete history of napoleon. Beautiful music!

The amazing aaron

the music before 12:00 in Napoleon's First Campaign: Battle of Castiglione and also I remember in Alexander the greats documentary as well.

DICK JOHNSON

Napoleon's First Campaign: Battle for Mantua @ 9:20 YT timestamp is one of the best use of music and narration in all of your videos! Truly epic to the end of the video.

Pierre Arnaud

Giving it a thought, i'd suggest venice and alexander's series too. `and to appeal to nostalgia, ww1. Lots has changed since, but its definitely those tracks that helped get me hooked to your channel

2026-09-13 16:00 Please make a list of the music from the Russian campaign of Napoleon. You have no idea how much I love every soundtrack there.

There will be more music releases in a few months, I think the Russian campaign is at the top of the list.

Justin Bailey

HMS Victory Total Guide 1 at the 07:00 mark, please!

EpicHistoryTV

That's a track called Wendelay, from Filmstro. I'll release a few more video scores (rather than individual tracks) later in the year, so be sure to remind me then!

EpicHistoryTV

I'll do a complete track listing when I release the scores.
