* The most fitting tavern song for the game, for its theme and setting is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-lBydebg6w "Here's a Health to the Company"]]
--> "Here's a health to the company, and one for my lass,
--> Let us drink and be merry, all out of one glass,
--> Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain,
--> For we may or might never, all meet here again."

* The tavern songs that are played by a live crew with violins and old guitars are lovely. "The Trooper and the Maid" and "Blow the Candles Out" are both bawdy songs. Then there's "The Parting Glass", a traditional Scots-Irish folk song played at the end which sums up Edward's entire journey and the game.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiCml4wNrbU Access the Animus]]. Nine minutes of exactly why ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' wins so very, very hard. A steady progression from quiet and deadly atmospheric ambience to stealthy evasion to outright incredible action music.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3o038osEIY Red in the Face]]. Just the action music part. It's almost worth getting detected just to listen to this while freerunning.
* [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII The sequel]] has so much awesome music. There's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBUiu_m70KQ Ezio's Family]], played during the gorgeous, wistful opening sequence of the game. Not to mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJx4rKoCKY Flight Over Venice]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAwP4KIivl4 Part 2]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMSpJhhjMQ0 Back in Venice]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3udu4SUsIc Heart]], which plays [[spoiler: when Ezio finds his father's iconic Assassin's robes and suits up for the first time]]. And of course, the electric [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EaRHlo4B0Y Venice Rooftops]], which makes racing a heck of a lot of fun.
** Although only an advert, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs music]] to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo6Q14vBB1c Assassin's Creed: Revelations trailer]] was just brilliant.
** Try playing Venice Rooftops at the same time as Ezio's Family. It works surprisingly well.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwVvkf5CeJU City Of Rome]] from ''Brotherhood'', while similar to ''Flight Over Venice'', has a haunting depth to it.

* Also from ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations Revelations]]'' comes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qjjqh2-LOo The Forum of the Ox]], which plays while you're jumping across ruined ledges to chase a boat over deadly rapids. Truly an Assassin's Creed moment.
* ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations Revelations]]'' also gives us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6xR3esZSHw Laboured and Lost]], which plays during the game's ending, [[spoiler:showing the end of the First Civilisation]]. It's truly a powerful moment and the music just heightens that. Its awesomeness must be seen to be believed.
* Also the main "Welcome to Constantinople" music is incredibly melodious and light, a sense of serenity, hope and new horizons all at once, which captures Ezio's feelings in Istanbul and his late age..
* ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII III]]'' gives us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYqP_4aCYHE Trouble in Town,]] the angsty, turbulent music which plays during the Boston Tea Party, and when you are chasing Charles Lee. The mission is ThatOneLevel at Full Synchronization but if you time it right, its the ultimate chase music for the ultimate chase sequence. It also plays during the credits. There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sffPwPFyhCQ Fight Club]], catchy and fun.
* The Homestead theme is also lovely in ''III'', capturing the solitude, peace and beauty of the settlement in the forest and also sounding like a mix of Native American and European themes, without being either, symbolizing the harmony which sadly never happened.

* ''Black Flag'' is also filled with numerous actual sea-shanties that you can collect on land, including favorites like "Drunken Sailor", "Spanish Ladies" but also obscurities like "Randy Dandy Shanty". These shanties can be played by Jack, one of your crew, like the 18th Century version of GTARadio and when sailing in rough weather, truly makes the game a magical experience, making you bond with your crew and the surroundings and feel the excitement of being part of the WoodenShipsAndIronMen generation. Especially "Fish in the Sea" when played in a rough gale or in a storm:

* ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag IV]]'' gives us the delightfully ''Pirates of the Caribbean''-esque triumphant boarding theme among many others.

Jolly sou'wester, [[BadassCrew boys]], steady she goes.

* One piece of music which is truly lovely is ''Peace at Forli'' which first plays when Ezio and Leonardo sail from Forli for Venice and then memorably plays during Ezio's WorldOfCardboardSpeech in the ''Bonfire of Vanities'' DLC and then finally makes a stirring comeback in ''Assassin's Creed Embers'' playing [[spoiler: during Ezio's final moments and the letter he left behind.]] It's TearJerker music at its finest.
