I unfortunately I cannot include both the golfed and ungolfed code (space constraints), and the code could be golfed further.
A large part of the reason that the file is so long is that it has to create every pitch (12 notes * 5 octaves) individually using sine waves.
Compiling I compiled using the dev cmd prompt for visual studio, but it is very similar with g++ on Linux.
cl music.cpp /I SFML\SFML-2.3.1\include /link SFML\SFML-2.3.1\lib\sfml-system.lib SFML\SFML-2.3.1\lib\sfml-audio.lib
You just need to link things properly.
credit to SFML and this post for the idea.
I think the timings are correct, let me know if they are not.

Here (Link to DropBox) is a screen recording of it playing a quick rendition of the Morrowind Theme that I whipped up. Note that in the video it doesn't ask for input because the file already exists.

1Do we have a restricted OS (i.e. no Linux-specific languages if running Windows)? – Addison Crump – 2015-10-19T19:16:11.927
I believe aditsu is trying to be nice to me (:3) and make it only languages that run under Linux. I do have a really crummy old Mac laptop so feel free to make an AppleScript one – a spaghetto – 2015-10-19T19:17:32.140
You knew exactly what I was going for. ;) – Addison Crump – 2015-10-19T19:17:57.787
@VTCAKAVSMoACE Linux-specific languages are fine, because the requirement is for the program to run in Linux (both for my and quartata's sake) – aditsu quit because SE is EVIL – 2015-10-19T19:19:26.450
1I don't have linux and so even if I knew how to write something on linux I couldn't test it. If I write an exeecutable that uses Windows API can it be run in Wine or is that not allowed? I think limiting it to linux is really limiting - kind of like those questions that limit answers to a particular programming language... – Jerry Jeremiah – 2015-10-19T19:39:12.797
@JerryJeremiah I think using wine is acceptable, I'll just need a way to compile the code. Basically, you could also post something that can't run in Linux, it just won't be eligible for my upvote or for winning the challenge. – aditsu quit because SE is EVIL – 2015-10-19T19:44:02.193

is it okay to read from a file instead of stdin? – Liam – 2015-10-21T11:46:28.703

how should three adjacent 64th-notes be separated? two 64th-gaps would erase the middle note. – Sparr – 2015-10-21T22:29:43.020
@Sparr there can't be any 64th notes in the song according to the spec. Also, the gap should erase part of the current note. – aditsu quit because SE is EVIL – 2015-10-22T07:26:40.503
Roger that on 32nd notes being the shortest. Not sure what you mean by "the current note", though. Is that the note before or after the gap? Or should it span the boundary? The spec is unclear. – Sparr – 2015-10-23T00:36:13.040
@Sparr If you have 2 notes with the same pitch, and the duration of the first note is x and the duration a 64th note is y, and you want to use a gap, then you can choose a gap duration z <= y, and you should play the first note for the duration x-z, followed by a z gap. You can do the same thing for all notes, even if they are different. – aditsu quit because SE is EVIL – 2015-10-23T11:23:12.057
@aditsu I understand what you're saying in the comments. My point is that the spec doesn't define that detail. if my two notes of the same pitch are of duration W and X, the spec doesn't say whether Z is to be subtracted from W or X or split between them. It just says "the note duration" without specifying WHICH note(s). – Sparr – 2015-10-25T02:36:22.383
@Sparr updated, how's that? – aditsu quit because SE is EVIL – 2015-10-25T08:40:56.357
update looks good. – Sparr – 2015-10-25T18:02:47.247
