Christopher Tin again wrote ''

''s main theme, "Sogno di Volare" (translated as "The Dream of Flight"). The theme was written to capture the spirit of exploration not only in "seeking new lands, but also the mental exploration of expanding the frontiers of science and philosophy". Tin premiered the song at a London concert in July 2016. The game's original score was written and orchestrated primarily by

, who was assisted by Roland Rizzo and Phill Boucher. The themes of each civilization are played as different variations of the same song throughout the eras. In every playable civilization, simple single instrument melodies in the Ancient era turn into orchestral versions of the same melodies in later eras, symbolizing the evolution and growth of one's civilization throughout the ages. The score was nominated for 2016 Music of the Year by the Game Audio Network Guild. Each civilization has its own main theme which evolves as the player progresses throughout the eras. Each theme has four versions, each musically corresponding to one of the following eras: Ancient, Medieval, Industrial and Atomic. The eras without an era-specific version will feature the most recent one. For example, the Classical era features the theme of the Ancient era, and the Renaissance era features the theme of the Medieval era. Every civilization excluding Sumeria also feature specific "ambient" themes that play during the Ancient, Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance eras. During a game session, the themes (main and ambient) of each participating civilization (including eliminated ones) will be featured in the in-game music. The versions correspond to the current era of each civilization.
