A long, looooong time ago here in these halls, one task remained forever atop my ever growing “To-Do” list. *winks at Wooly*
Namely, a compilation of ALL the references to music, musical lore, instruments and other aural arts published in every single Realms product.
I’ve kept at it here and there over the years of my absence and I feel like committing myself wholly to further updating it and releasing a draft copy for evaluation amongst the many learned scribes here at Candlekeep. It still needs some updates from Ed’s voluminous lore published elsewhere over the last two years, but I’m closer than I’ve ever been to finishing it.
So I guess… what I rambling around to asking is… would there still be interest for this work I’ve committed to for the past 10 years… exist here in this community?

Of course not! What kind of nerd would be that interested in the minutiae of a fictional world?
Gimme gimme gimme!! |

There is obviously going to be some interest in this among the folk here! |

| Just a thought sage, and maybe you've gone down this path..... a list of titles of operas, "songbooks", hymnals, etc... of the realms. |
Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

They’re in there… *wink* :)
It actually surprised me how many operas and symphonies were directly named and/or referenced… especially in post-3e lore, like novels. |

| I'd love such a tome. I'm not much good in the way of proofreading, but I've got a player that would greatly benefit from that kind of tome. He's a violinist and mandolin player IRL, and plays a bard that's actually quite entertaining without leaning into the bawdy stereotype. He's new to D&D and the Realms, and if I handed such a work to him, it'd be devoured. |

I'd be interested in both works.
Waterdeep Dragon Heist had a few musical references.
Canticle of the Silver Chalice, hymn to Siamorphe
Wulfgar and the Crystal Shard, opera
Your Beardy Face, Dwarven love song popular in the Moonsea
The Fall of Tiamat, opera in Giant
There were actually a few other non-musical theatrical references in there too. Overall not a fan of the adventure's execution but there were a lot of fun ideas in there. |

Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good. |

| If this guide doesn't includes Deekin's Doom Song, this guide is fake (?) |
