Music otherwise is always epic, and if you are lucid it will not disappoint you Like the many other amazing details your mind creates in lucid dreams, music is no exception.

I happen to study music as well (singer) and whenever I hear music, it's usually composed by my subconscious during very emotionally heavy dreams. However when I play music I've memorized, the quality is identical to real life however it often jumps and skips bars.

When I wake up and recal the compositions, it's usually a very simple melody that sounded much better because of the intense emotions I felt while hearing it.

One of the things I like the best is turning the volume up as much as possible because unlike the real world, there is no limit to how loud you can hear because you never actually "hear" it.
