I look forward for some orthodox church music, as well...Snowball is russian and maybe they are putting some eastern hits, as well, in the combination
But, of course, non-religious music should also play a big part...we don't have many examples from that time, but the folklore should provide some entertaining singing
I think that troubadours' music plays bigger part than folklore. They sang about love, wars, politics...
there is only one song in CK on continuous loop...an extended version of the Falala song 
See the FAQ. The music is special written for CK by an (alleged) well-known composer.
Only one song ... Personally, I don't hate falala but after playing EU2 for 6 months I'm just sick of it...

Correction, he only did the music for BG2: ToB.
Here's the credit list from his homepage.
(Edit) Ehhh... Here I was thinking that I was editing my previous post, not posting a new one. Oh well, the delete function doesn't seem to be working.

Aha! The mysterious composer unveiled!
There is actually a preview song from Crusader Kings there. Just go to the music section.
Sounds pretty nice.
Yes it's nice game music but the style is too OOPs. Sound like Elizabethan court music.
Ah well.... I guess I'll just have to brake out my Anonymous 4 collection to really get in the mood...
Incidentally I've been listing to the soundtrack for the movie "The Lion in Winter" by the composer John Barry (also did Bond theme for "Dr. No" & the music to "Robin and Marian") and it really has a good feel for the time period for a modern composition. It's to bad Paradox couldn't get him to compose the music for the game, but i thank he's dead.

Sounds like good old generic "medieval" computer game music. Mid-baroque flute music, with barely a medieval instrument to it(oboe instead of bombard etc). Why ask anyone to compose a new tune when there's a rabid horde of musicians out there playing (late) medieval tunes on medieval instruments?
Thank god I have a collection already.

Surely those musicians who claim to play medieval music are simply guessing at what it sounded like? Although I admit, it's better than just pretending that baroque is anywhere near medieval.
No, there are quite a few 15th century sheet music survivals, mostly in France and Germany. And while the musical notes for some earlier works are pretty vague, there's been done a lot of research on secular high medieval music. Church music is, of course, everywhere. And medieval musical instruments sound very different from a modern string orchestra.
