Arcer culture has evolved as has its music over two centuries of nationhood. In its early years, during the early colonial period and up to the landmark 1890 Royal granting of semi-sovereignty and partial independence, Arcer culture largely followed Occidental trends for classical music and orchestras, with the pattern largely remaining under the influence of Ardmori high society and the upper echelons of Ardmori societal classes that had emigrated to Acerion. However with the late 19th-century settlement of the Arcer Heartland, folk music and country music began to evolve into its own distinct genre. Country music would continue to evolve with the introduction of modern instruments such as guitars and the harmonica, a free reed wind instrument developed from Alshari and Audonian influences in Dalfearn in the early 1900s. | Arcer culture has evolved as has its music over two centuries of nationhood.

The usage of guitars, folk music, and harmonicas, along with traditional drum instruments gave birth two a pair of distinctly Arco genres of music that by 1930 dominated concert halls and radio stations in the nation, those being Cronan Blues and Arcer Folk/Country (historical terminology varies). Arcer country music would grow in popularity, remaining the main form of music and spawning a number of offshoots or sub-genres, such as Heartland Rock and River Folk Music, all of which would continue to evolve to their modern forms. | The usage of guitars, folk music, and harmonicas, along with traditional drum instruments gave birth two a pair of distinctly Arco genres of music that by 1930 dominated concert halls and radio stations in the nation, those being Cronan Blues and Arcer Folk/Country (historical terminology varies).

Traditional Ængle and Gaelic music utilizing instruments such as flutes, bagpipes, and brass instruments continue to find usage in modern political and major national events. Military bands and music, with their origins being the military bands that helped commanders organise soldiers in battle and keep pace on long road marches, carry on the historical lineage of generations of Arcer soldiers in modern parades. The Presdale Country Music Festival remains the largest country music event not only in Crona, but in Inxay, attracting large amounts of country and folk singers, notably with similar artist from Urcea, as well as non-country acts from other countries such as Alstin and Burgundie. It regularly draws tens of thousands of international visitors from across Ixnay, making it one of the major attractions in Arcerion for tourists. Presdale has continued to be the centre of modern country music, with notable record labels such as Heartland Studios and Leigh Records signing international folk and country artists, with Presdale being an Ixnay leader for the genre. | Traditional Ængle and Gaelic music utilizing instruments such as flutes, bagpipes, and brass instruments continue to find usage in modern political and major national events.
