  • "Calling All Dawns" is a soundtrack from the video-game Civilization IV and is composed by Christopher Tin with the assistance of several, distinct groups. Now what makes the soundtrack unique is its means of expressing life through a circle of music and compares it to that of a day's metaphorical span- from the dawn life springs forth only to fathom into night and is reawaken by a dawn redivivus. There are three movements in the soundtrack and each corresponds and transitions accordingly to day's dawn, noon, and night.
    The soundtrack listing comprises of 12 songs, each sung by a different culture.
    Part I. Day
    1. "Baba Yetu (feat. Soweto Gospel Choir)" Swahili (Kiswahili) 3:30
    2. "Mado Kara Mieru (feat. Lia, Aoi Tada, Kaori Omura)" Japanese 4:45
    3. "Dao Zai Fan Ye (feat. Jia Ruhan)" Mandarin (Chinese) 3:15
    4. "Se É Pra Vir Que Venha (feat. Dulce Pontes)" Portuguese 4:14
    5. "Rassemblons-Nous" French 4:27
    Part II. Night
    6. "Lux Aeterna" Latin 3:59
    7. "Caoineadh (feat. Anonymous 4)" Gaeilge (Irish) 5:44
    8. "Hymn Do Trojcy Swietej (feat. Frederica von Stade)" Polish 6:48
    Part III. Dawn
    9. "Hayom Kadosh" Hebrew 1:45
    10. "Hamsafar (feat. Sussan Deyhim)" Persian (Farsi) 2:52
    11. "Sukla-Krsne" Sanskrit 2:01
    12. "Kia Hora Te Marino" Maori 3:18
    The reason I was forced to consolidate each song into a movement as opposed to releasing each song was mostly in due to fear of copyright issues. Remixing this permits me to publish as a video of my own and untouchable from such delicacies.
    "Calling All Dawns is Christopher Tin's debut album. It won two GRAMMYs at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards: Best Classical Crossover Album, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists (for the song 'Baba Yetu', which made history as the first video game theme to win a Grammy). It was started in 2005, and released October 1st, 2009, nearly four years after its conception.
    Calling All Dawns is a song-cycle in three movements: day, night and dawn. Each movement corresponds to a different phase of life--life, death, and rebirth. In short, it's 5 songs about life, 3 songs about death, and 4 songs about rebirth. There are songs of joy, mystery, and hardship, reflecting the complexity of our mortality. There are songs of the deepest, darkest sorrow to accompany us through death. And finally, there are songs of triumph and exultation that bring us roaring back to life, beginning the cycle anew."

    My favorite thing about this album: every song flows seamlessly into the next (with the only exception being Rassemblons-nous into Lux Aeterna; but I can forgive that because death) and the end flows back to the beginning. It's all a cycle. Everything is a cycle. Life to death to rebirth. Day to night to dawn. It's universal. And it just makes me want to listen to it all over again.

    Kia Hora was the beginning of Christopher Tin's pattern of releasing absolute bangers for the final songs in his albums

    I think this might be my favorite song on the album (not that I haven't listened to the full album a million and one times). I also love Hamsafar, Baba Yetu, Sukla-Krsne, and Rassemblons-Nous as my faves.

    @FinalKnell - Coming from a musician (and a former music pirate), it takes more passion and ability to create a beautiful song that to build anything in the world. Piracy for music (good music, real music, not that horrible modern popular music) is just plain wrong, if you pirate this then you take away from the artists ability to both obtain more popularity and to get more music out. Just buy it! it feels good to support good artists!

    While I want to participate in financially incentivizing artists to create good music by discouraging piracy and encouraging buying albums, at the same time the only reason I bought Calling All Dawns is because I heard the songs on youtube first and liked it so much. Is it possible to approve and disapprove of something at the same time?
