Will there be any new Music for BWO? Some "Adagio for Strings" type music will be great, in my opinion (really adds to the atmosphere to the game, as original FS2 music wasn't really that good)

Erm, I personally think that the music for FreeSpace 2 was some of the best music ever to grace a PC game. It fits the action, sends the adrenaline pumping, and actually has an artistic value.

Adagio for Strings would be great, but depends on how practical it is for building the right type of atmosphere in the game. Certainly, it would be good in some situations, but when ambushed by waves of bombers trying to kill you're destroyer, something to get the blood pumping would be needed. Just my opinion. Also, i didnt think FS2 music was that bad. I'll go shut up now

If we do music, it pretty much has to be from "somone" and im more interested in finding that person to do music for a new project rather than this one.

Adagio or Agnus Dei would be good to start playing when a big cap goes down when its really important to the plot. Christopher Frankes the B5 music guy does this well using classical influences to enforce the image at hand, it just has such an effect on the audiotory senses that it enhances the whole experience.

Hmm... I'm thinking maybe some nice Telemann flute sonatas, or maybe some of Debussy's orchestral work.

It's not THAT bad... but I agree it's wrong for background music. In fact, most classical music is wrong for a continuous mission-background music. It just wasn't written to be looped for hours on end.
However, something memorable and atmospheric (like the Adagio mentioned earlier) would indeed be great for a specific cinematic event. Likewise, there's lots of music that can be set to a cutscene.
