Thank you all for your comments and love! Your support means the world to me. I’m currently writing a NEW album based on “Sogno di Volare” and taking my fans on a journey through the creative process. Visit christophertin.com/albums/toshiverthesky.html for more info, and to pick up some leftover rewards from my Kickstarter campaign (including handwritten scores, studio visits to Abbey Road and more). PS: ‘To Shiver the Sky’ set the world record for the highest funded classical music Kickstarter ever!
I have been a huge fan of your work ever since Baba Yetu, but for some reason I only discovered Calling all Dawns yesterday. I can't even track how many times I listened to it since then, amazing work! Really looking forward to To Shiver the Sky! Your work is simply beautiful!
Step 1: Build two broadcast centers. Step 2: Get Great Musician Christopher Tin. Step 3: Make Baba Yetu Step 4: Make Sogno di Volare Step 5: 20000 tourism (10000 each) Step 6: Win

Christopher Tin-Great musician from the information era. Creates the "Baba Yetu" and "Sogno di Volare" great works. Bonuses boosted if the "telecommunications" technology is researched.
Tsiolkovsky is my favorite person. He was more right than anyone. And i keep tripping on how to honor him without spurring a wave of suicide, because a *part* of who he was saw the great beyond as our salvation.
“From the first stirrings of life beneath water, to the great beasts of the Stone Age, to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest. From this early cradle of civilization, on towards the stars…”
"Your people look up to you, Emperor Pedro II, to lead Brazil onto the world stage. Use your reputation as a patron of artists, scientists and engineers to draw the greatest minds to our fertile home. For it is in the lush rainforests, teeming with life, that your people thrive. Watch them in the Carnival as they dance the samba in celebration of your great feats, Pedro the Magnanimous."
"And so it is upon your broad shoulders, Theodore Roosevelt, to charge forth and lead your people on their great adventure. Use your military might to give the peoples of your homeland the square deal they so desperately deserve. Surely you will raise America into the limelight and attract visitors from across the oceans just to see your lands. Bully for you, Mr. President."
“Heroic Fredrick, king of the Germans, your task is to forge the independent states that surround you into an empire. You are blessed to be a great military leader - use those skills to bring these cities under your sway so they may develop into commercial and industrial powerhouses. Surely then the bards will sing of the mighty Fredrick with the red beard, the great Holy Roman Emperor.”
Much rests upon your shoulders, King Gilgamesh. Your own people, and many people of the world, look to you as leader. But you are more than a mere man, and the weight of the world will never cause you to waver.
"Wise Jayavarman, seventh to hold the name, the Khmer admire your dedication to their well-being. Your command of the land's fresh waters lets you feed your hungry people, just as it brings you ever closer to Heaven. Go forth, divine architect! Build an empire that approaches perfection-and may your enemies find their end beneath your mighty war elephants."
I don't care what type of music you like. Country, rap, techno, etc. You cannot deny that this is one of the most majestic and overwhelmingly epic pieces of music ever written.
It's just something different entirely. It's not (usually) something you play in your everyday life and just continue. You can't help feeling something, and stop for a moment, if it's only for a moment. You use this to get into another state of mind. Reinvigorate is the word that comes to mind. That doesn't only count for it, there are a number of tracks that are like this. I also had a time when I thought: That's the greatest ever. Now I know, there are a number of tracks that trigger this motion in my heart. But that's only more treasure to the world. For music, there are different styles for different purposes, different moments, different goals. Those people who have realized this, have figured out a true wealth for their life.
You might think I'm crazy and it's not worth your time but look up how to train your dragon specifically the part "test flight" it's more cinematic because it's crafted around what's going on but watch till the end please you won't b sorry

@@lorencproductions This comment made the spiderman pointing at himself meme pop into my head, with both spidermen being Christopher Tin. Baba Yetu guy vs Sogno Di Volare guy.
I like that 6 years after the release of this song, Christopher Tin still takes time to read an react to the comments. That's commitment to his audience.
Friends, listen to this: Leonardo was famous for taking notes of everything. He recorded a visit to the hospital and every broken bone and bruise he had suffered, allegedly from falling out of a window. However an English doctor recently reviewed the description and he believes it is not compatible with a vertical fall....but with a fall from an impact with the ground from angle of less that 45 degrees. At that time Leonardo and his assistant were testing his glider. Guess where? On Monte Ceceri. Nothing will ever convince me otherwise: Leonardo must have tried himself, and he DID FLY. That is how he knew. That is why he wrote these words.
Well actually it wasn't Leonardo, but his assistant, Tomasso Masini who bruised himself testing Leonardo's flying device. In his Codex on the Flight of Birds, Leonardo mentions that Tomasso piloted the device, took off from Monte Ceceri, glided on a distance of 1.000 metres, fell and broke a leg and severeal ribs. He survived and managed to recover in just a few months.
In case you don't know: The place mentioned in this, Mt. Ceceri, a mountain near Florence in Italy, is the place where Leonardo da Vinci tested his flying machines.
Honestly? My rig isn't that bad. It was top of the line a few years ago, and the CPU is running on slight overclock. It still takes a few minutes to load (max is five).
Night4fingers Try disable windows defender. My PC is great but I had problem with loading time and crashes. Apparantly WinDef classified some semivital files as virus.
Parents: "Game time is over!" Me: "I haven't played a game yet" Parents: "What have you done in these 5 hours then?" Me: "Sitting on the Civ 6 title screen"
Speaking as an airline pilot, this piece encapsulates perfectly how I feel every time I push the throttle forward, the engines surge and suddenly I'm airborne.
I'm just sitting here wondering what these first pioneers of flying would think if they could wittnes the present. 1903 the Wrigth brothers built the first propelled aircraft. In 2017 an average of 11.000.000 people per day have been flying. These song put this feeling into sound.
It's literally INSANE how great this piece of music is. It made me sit in Civ6's main menu for 30 minutes before I even hit the "options" button. Great work mr. Tin!
I GOT MY PILOT'S LICENSE! This song helped me achieve my dream of becoming a pilot. My first Solo flight taking off pushing the throttle forward as the song Crescendos is pure gloria! Thank you for this amazing song.
Congrats mate! I have my license too and I think of my first solo flight in 2015 when the song plays. I know how amazing the feeling is😁 Well done mate👍🏻
bro when I was hour building to my commercial license I would listen to music like this and go run rural canyons for fun. Based zulu 3s. Got it out of my system, fly airliners now lol
games like the civ series are very popular among non gamers regardless, there are probably many a old grouchy retired history teachers building pyramids in the jungles of russia
There are many things in this opus looking like baba yetu : for exemple, 2:18 is the same "U FAL ME WAKO" theme in Bb minor (instead of C# minor in baba yetu)
Jacob Wheeler All rise toward mesopotamia for the National anthem of the republic of earth mesopotamia because it's where the first civilization is from.
One of my favourite things about this video (aside from the excellent music) is that Christopher Tin still reads all the comments left by fans! Thank you for composing such a great song!
Congrats from Italy, Tuscany. This song is amazing. It is an hymn and a tribute to the spirit of humanism and of the reinassance which like a spark was turned on in Italy, in its cities like Firenze, Venezia, Roma in 1400', and then quickly spread like a majestic wind throughout Europe. If there was a petition to make this the anthem of humanity at the UN i would totally sign it.
Me when I play other games: “C’mon, Load already!” Civilizations VI when I play: *Dude, are you gonna play? I’ve loaded in about an hour ago* Me: *Listening to the music*
I've seen people on this and Baba Yetu debating which one would be a better fit for a planetary anthem, and... Well, whichever one you prefer, I think we can all agree that Christopher Tin should be the one to compose such an anthem.
Baba Yetu can be the Earth anthem. This one seems more fit for the ones looking towards to stars and daring to cross the void between them. An organization settling e.g. the Moon, Mars or Alpha Centauri should have it as its anthem.
Baba Yetu's lyrics are a Christian prayer translated into Swahili and Christianity is the cancer of Mankind. So many human lives taken for no other reason than disobedience to a fantasy, so much scientific progress delayed in favour of worshipping ignorance. Baba Yetu, as beautiful as it is, shoudn't deserve to be even considered to represent all humans.
@@punkrockeris666 >blaming the faith itself and not the many zealots who've practiced it Cool. Not like many significant scientific discoveries and great deeds were made by Christians as well...
"For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return" Civilization 4
The quotes were alays epic in the Civ games, even if sometimes not really original (I mean, the good old "I have become death, the destructor of worlds" for nuclear weapons, c'mon...)
This is no exaggeration: When I first started the game, and went through the settings, I found myself lingering just to hear this outstanding track. It SOUNDS like Civilization, whatever that means.
The song itself is an epic. Encompassing the beauty of the series as a whole, from the sprawling seas of time and the ever-approaching future era of glorious peace or patriotic war. The human nature to discover, research, crawl, move, and become better from our trials. Idk. Christopher Tin just REALLY knows what he's doing
Listening to this song while looking at the first images taken by the James Webb telescope is an experience in and of itself. Despite our failures, it's amazing to see how far humanity has come.
Hi Christopher. I am now 32 years old and I have played MANY videogames throughout my life. The most important thing to me in a game has always been the music, a game can rise or fall with good or bad music. I thought I'd already heard all of the greatest videogame soundtracks that exist, but today I bought CIV 6 and my jaw dropped to the floor. I don't even want to start an actual match, I just wanna stay in the main menu and listen to this glorious piece of music. Not just one of the most beautiful videogame soundtracks ever, but possibly one of the most epic compositions I've ever listened to, period! Cheers from Germany, you've created something of immortal value.
I have to agree with. 34 yrs old myself and it doesn't get much better than this. Having said that, Civ games always have good music. Baba Yetu from Civ IV is just as good I think.
PLEASE play Horizon Zero Dawn! The music creates this unmatched atmospheric aesthetic and the story is superb. The best single player RPG I have ever played in my life.
For one, as popular as Tin is, I don't think he is as venerated as Beethoven or Berlioz (yet). Secondly, it would be improper as Tin was hired to compose music for this game. People will wonder if being featured as a "Great Musician" was a little bonus he got in addition to his fee.
I always found it so wild and moving that Da Vinci wrote a song about humanity achieving flight after he and the other greatest minds of the time couldn't achieve it. Something about the spirit needed to dream that big despite it seeming completely impossible for even the foremost science of the day is really inspiring.
The most beautiful thing is that it is due to dreamers like da Vinci having the dream in the first place and writing about it, designing it, even if he was so far from the mark, that people like the Wright brothers were able to realize the concept in reality. A dream sets a plan in motion, maybe it won't become real in your lifetime, but someday someone will share your passion and make it so. That's what I believe.
Leonardo da Vinci never wrote a song about achieving flight. If you are referring to "And once you have tasted flight..." that was a voice over by Fredric March and written by John H. Secondari. If you are referring to something else, I would be interested in knowing what "song" he wrote about flight
If I ever hear anyone saying they don't like modern classical music, I simply play this. It's a tragedy that modern classical is overlooked by many, because to my mind, if Christopher Tin had written choral music of this standard several hundred years ago, he'd be held in the same esteem as household names like Brahms (my personal favourite) and Beethoven. That's not an exaggeration, this is a truly magnificent piece of music from an amazing composer; I fear that it's only a level of snobbery within some musical circles that keeps modern composers from getting the wider recognition they absolutely deserve.
"Man will be lifted by his own creation." Some really powerfull words and really telling of humanity and the technological progress we have made thus far and which we will continue to make as we will spread across the stars.
La bellezza di testo che ha fatto da Vinci è una meraviglia già conosciuta. Ma, anche la melodia che tu hai fatto è il grandissimo capolavoro. È l'inno di tutta la umanità. Grazie, Christopher.
Few hours ago my first boy was born. I left mother and baby in hospital, I went home. Here I am crying like a little baby, and tears of pure joy with these masterpiece as background. Don't know which one gives me more gloria
Che poi da italiano io stesso, non avevo capito che la canzone fosse cantata in italiano finché non ho letto il testo del video... As italian myself, I didn't know this song was in italian until I read the lyrics...
Before listening to this masterpiece, I had never thought about how much of a great achievement flying was for humanity. "Man will be lifted by his own creation" part gives me goosebumps even after listening to it for over 30 times!
Not only that, but how fast it changed our world, and how fast our technology advanced. It took us 66 years to go from the first powered flight in 1903 to landing on the moon in 1969. That’s insane!
@@christophertin "War" victory, not over other men, but victory over barbarism, fear, and greed. The concepts that have held humanity back for thousands of years and led to so much despair, anguish and suffering. Perhaps, alternately, a 'culture' victory, but more how cultures never 'win' long term, but are all interwoven to make us what we are today. We still have concepts from the former founding 'civilizations' (real world) Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Indian, Chinese, etc. that guide how we interconnect and interact with our friends, families, neighbors, other citizens of our countries, and other nations around the world.
@@hakuso.3 I've honestly found myself wanting to play Civ 6 more and more over 5 the more I get into it. I feel like a tool for paying full price for Gathering Storm but it actually does add a lot of replayability
This song was recommended to me randomly in a streaming service. And it struck me like a lightning. Now when i found it with lyrics it actually makes me tear up. Such a majestic hymn to the humankind's aspiration and triumph! It makes me wish to be hopeful and strong again. Maybe i will, one day. Thank you for this beautiful piece!
As cheesy as it may sound but if we ever *have* an anthem for humanity, this would be a solid contender in my eyes. It's about human ingenuity and what we can achieve together. We literally made tons of metal fly. We put people on top of a stack of explosives and sent them off careening into the sky ... and we brought them back in one piece. Well most of them... but those that didn't come back will not be forgotten either.
I guess this song could really fit, because it doesnt talk about the dark past of humanity or the odds faced because of religion and culture, rather it talks about the future and the great feats we can achieve together, when the plane was invented it was not made for a nation, rather to humanity itself
Also, it's about Leonardo da Vinci, who is pretty much the quintessential human because he was an artist, a scientist, and, most importantly, an engineer.
@@presidentbanana4536 Leonardo da Vinci, achieving all types of victories since 1452. (except world domination of course, but yknow...) One of the most OP humans to ever live, if not the most OP human in history.
Such a beautiful piece. Tin is truly a master composer. Not only does this sound incredible, for me (at least) I think it displays a nice contrast of his last piece, Baba Yetu. Baba Yetu almost sounds reflective in it’s presentation, like it’s saying “Look what we’ve accomplished, look at how far we’ve come.” Volare, on the other hand, sounds triumphant and powerful. Like it’s looking towards the sky. Like it’s saying “Look how far we can go.”
I like this comparison! I love both very much, but for me, there’s something about Baba Yetu that’s feels “large scale”, like there’s something bigger than the song itself. Sogno is epic and grand but Baba Yeti moves me to f-in tears.every.dang.time 😭
I find really stunning the fact that Christopher Tin, despite being a succesful and very busy artist, finds the time to love almost every comment. Thank you, Mr Tin (I hope my comment will egt a heart as well).
Whenever I hear this song my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to "From the first stirrings of life beneath water... to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest: from this early cradle of civilization on towards the stars."
Heroic Frederick...king of the Germans, your task is to forge the independent states that surround you into an empire. You are blessed to be a great military leader. Use those skills to bring those cities under your sway, so that they may develop into military and industrial powerhouses. Surely then the bards will sing of Frederick with the red beard, the great Holy Roman Emperor.
Cast your net wide, oh Trajan, emperor of mighty Rome. Your legions stand at the ready to march out and establish the largest empire the world has ever seen. If you can truly get all roads to lead to Rome, yours will be an empire of great riches and luxuries. Surely then our citizens will proclaim you as their best ruler, the Optimus Princeps.
As an Italian, Thank you Christopher. What you have created is beautiful: an hymn to humanity's accomplishments and ongoing thirst for knowledge, progress and discovery, with a stunning poetry-like sentence structure ('Lì a casa il cuore sentirai'). This is why everyone calls you a Great musician.
“For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will long to return.” - Leonardo di Vinci, Flight Tech Quote, Civilization IV (R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy)
I had my first flight last year I believe and no matter how limited the view were it felt fucking amazing. Seeing the clouds as the plane soar, feeling the gravity of Mother Earth pushing down, alongside with the beautiful sea it feels amazing. I would love to experience it, I was pretty much awake half the time the flight just staring out of the window.
I know this was uploaded 6 years ago, but my husband just started playing this game on the Switch. I myself have not played a single minute of this game, but immediately had to look up this song when it came on. I'm now listening to the entire Civ 6 soundtrack, nothing beats this triumphant-sounding piece. Well done, Christopher Tin. I think you've single-handedly inspired a generation of people.
I live in a country immersed in the Beauty, surrounded by the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Palladio. Foreigners aren't able to understand that for Italians is "banal" admiring those men. P.s: expecially for English speakers, when you pronounce Italian names, be sure to pronounce them by reading in Italian, not in English

As a French speaker, I am stunned by our similar our languages are. That said, I envy you greatly to live in Italy. If I was to visit, I fear I'd never be done discovering and probably wouldn't go back home.
I'm Hungarian, but I study Italian. I could understand a few words and even a few lines from the song... maybe in a few months I will be able to understand it all! Italian is a beautiful language, but it's very difficult to learn.

Civ IV: Baba Yetu is the best videogame theme ever made. Civ VI: *I'm gonna honour this game's whole legacy*
Civ V Brave New World: Baba Yetu may be iconic and pretty good, but overrated. Let's make something beautiful instead of celebratory. Civ VI: sorry BNW AND IV, i can do both at the same time, and better to boot! ???: Amateurs... IV and BNW: what was that, PUNK!? HOI4: I said, AMATEURS!
This song outright makes me cry. I'm almost certainly convinced I'm sociopathic in my degree of apathy for the world and yet I hear this and I stop thinking about the game, about how music is 'just' music, and I feel that ache in my heart. Mediocre art is almost 90%, maybe even 99% of what we consume. But what we really live for, is this. This one percent that manages to resonate deep within. Thank you, for writing this. You've made the world a slightly better place to live in.
The anthem of Humanity if there ever was one. It's a testament to all we have accomplished, what we have faced and what we will do in the future. We are here today because our forefathers persevered, and we continue to do that to this day. Because Humanity will change just as the world does, and we will mend the wounds of the past, confront the present, and face the challenges of the future..or die trying. And we will continue to do this. Weather we hail from the sprawling cities of America, the deserts of Africa, the exotic valleys of India, the many islands of Japan or the lush forests of Scandinavia, we will continue to move forward...togheter. Because that is the strength of OUR family-the Human race. And we never, EVER, give up. Because WE have created Civillizations..to stand the test of time.
You are absolutely right . Humanity can reach all frontiers , because this is what humanity does for thousands of years of the existence of our civilization. Terra Eternum!
thank you! someone who has hope in humanity. i see many people cry over the destruction humanity brought to earth, but not many praising the things humanity built and discovered.
Fuck that, they should be Great People in the base game. I don't care how self-aggrandizing it is. Although if we're adding modern composers, John Williams is a must-include as well.
Sid gave his name for the ultimate difficulty in Civ3, and oneof the most powerful corporations in Civ4, and it's his name on the thing always. Maybe he felt that was enough for now.
Imagine all of the people of the planet singing, dancing with this playing. Humanity coul really be proud ! We are not the same by face or culture, but we should never forget the fact we're all the same specie, a specie destined to do great things! Cheers and respect to all who read.
Agent.O Indeed! we need to look at the positive sides off humanty more. Watching the syrian civil war and Islamic state massacring a great number of people makes you question humans as a whole, but as you said one day humanety will realise what our main purpose is :D
IDarkNight Well, more and more people realise there is no god (at least cant be proven) among us. Give humanity some time and religion will only be part of humanity's long history :)
Well to be fair. The last 2000 years or so, all major discoveries has been done by europeans (including people of european descent) and Asians (mostly east asians).
Lol Africans enslaved themselves and sold their brothers to Jewish traders who took them to America. Don't put that on me, all my ancestors did was buy them.
I bought this game on Steam and started playing it yesterday. I instantly liked this theme, and once I understood that it was sung in my language, I loved it even more. Love from Italy 💚🤍❤
Can you imagine this playing in a compilation stretching from Leonardo's flying machines, to the Wright Brothers, Chuck Yeagar, Yuri Gagarin, and finally to Apollo 11?
(To both you and @Autistic Foamer, I guess) I was actually thinking of using this (properly licensed, of course) in a compilation about progress in my fictional universe and corresponding alternate history, with most of the video clips made in an extremely heavily modified version of Kerbal Space Program. Specifically, it would be used when an alien people first attain flight on the back of a semi-domestic creature during what is their Late Paleolithic and our Early Paleolithic (the very first event) and when they finally achieve contact with humans after the Pegasus 2 mission in either the 2080s or 2140s, depending on the alternate history scenario I select (the very last event). Other *lesser* songs would be used for intermediate events like the first alien landing and returning from their habitable moon, the first human flight, the first non-stop aerial circumnavigation of Earth, the first Mars landing, etc. ;)
+ Christopher Tin I eagerly await your album, but until it comes out, a university aviation program created this phenomenal animation in the style of the Civilization games, set to your sublime "Dream of Flight". ua-cam.com/video/6yNBDCOGTpg/v-deo.html
I think it runs deeper than that - I interpret it not as simply about "flight" in the literal sense, but as the flight of the human mind. I work in video and I'm thinking of making a videoclip encompassing the whole human evolution and achievement - science, art, the good and the bad, the fact that we are here and we demand to be heard by the universe. To believe that something must persist, that the path must be worth it, that we are valuable because we are human. This is an incredible piece, an amazing statement on human desire, the essence of humanity. To quote a great poet, when faced with the unacceptable, with the inherent imperfection of life, "there must be a way. surely there must be a way that we have not yet though of. who put this brain inside of me? it cries it demands it says that there is a chance. it will not say "no."
The Stars await us. Some will enter its domain with sword and shield in hand, bracing to hold back whatever horrors lurk in the infinite blackness that could snuff out our burgeoning species. Some will enter with eyes aflame with curiosity, seeking the secrets of the cosmos and the answers to questions that have ate at us since we first looked up at the sky and wondered. Some will reach out into the void with olive branches and smiles of peace, hoping that we will find a neighbor who we may call friend, that we may no longer be alone in The Universe. Some will watch the cosmic dance of infinity and try to comprehend it with brushes and paint and sculpture and scripture, their revelations of creativity and inspiration influencing how we look up into the night sky. Humanity's time has come to join the stars in the heavens above. We may stumble, we may bicker and battle with ourselves, but the first steps are always rocky. But we cannot stay in the cradle anymore. The Stars await us.
@@aadityacs6773 Idk what you're talking about, I sent the finest copy of my Denouncing Venice handbook with my Mars colony in my first science victory.
A lot modern music doesn't seem to do it for me, and I constantly find myself looking backwards to some of my favorite composers. This includes not only the Mozarts or Beethovens or Holst, but the great movie composers like John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone and Alan Silvestri. It amazes me now that some of the best music I find is being introduced to me through video games, and artists like Nobuo Uematsu, Geoff Knorr, Michael Curran and of course Christopher Tin are creating our new classics. Bravo gentlemen!
When I hear this song, it gives me a feeling of hope for humanity. One day war, violence and ignorance will be overcome, and instead we will have glory, peace and ingenuity!
ScotsWarrior95 its very bad if world want to be united so many blood of young people will be shed. Yes World can unite but in Jewish alternative NWO (New World Order)
War, violence and ignorance (among other things) are human nature. No war and no unjust violence is a possibility when the human race goes extinct. And the human race going extinct is probably the only thing left that can save planet Earth.
Your vile antisemitism aside (it's time to get off the internet and go outside if you seriously believe in a "Jewish NWO"), I'll never understand how people can be so pessimistic. We're living in the wealthiest, most peaceful, most plentiful time in history. War deaths are at their lowest point in human history, poverty is in freefall (it has halved since 2005 alone!), the rate of population growth is set to level off by 2050, there are more democratic nations than ever before, and sustainable technology is advancing more rapidly than anyone expected even just six years ago. Things are looking great and are set to get better, but of course only bad news tends to be noteworthy on any given day, because bombs explode quickly but good news happens slowly.

Mt. Ceceri is where Da Vinci tested his flying machines, a hill near Florence, today's Italy. There is a stone inscription there now about it, some of it can be found here in the lyrics (il primo volo, the first flight, etc).
It's been 6 years now... And I still get goosebumps every time I download the game again to play with my friends and I hear this masterpiece playing in the main menu.
Hello Mr. Cristopher! I am 13 years old and I love this music. You did an amazing job with it! I can't stop listening to it as well as my friends. sometimes I play civilization just for this piece of art. fantastic! Greetings from Poland. By the way I'm still learning English so sorry for my mistakes
Your English is good! A bit of constructive criticism: it should be Mr. Tin, not Mr. Christopher. And "as well as my friends should be "and my friends can't either". No mistakes I can see other than that and a few missed capitalizations.

I've been a gamer for 25 years now. Somehow I had never played Civ 6 till now. This is the first time in my whole life I've opened a game and just let it run listening to the music. It's THAT good. The majesticness of this piece is among the great names like Beethoven or Pucchini. You have created an absolute masterpiece here :)
I bought a new car recently. And I chose this song to be the first one I play over it. That's how special it is to me. Seriously, this is quite possibly the greatest video game theme I've ever heard. Thank you.
In all the promos, I said to myself "It's okay. It's not Baba Yetu." When I heard Mr. Tin say "Baba Yetu was very African and Sogno di Volare is very European in inspiration" I was a bit put out, because what I heard didn't sound as if it represents the styles great music in Western tradition. I thought it felt like generic movie music. I was so wrong. When I first started Civ 6, the music almost instantly brought a tear to my eyes. This version is so incredibly beautiful. More than beauty, it is inspiring. It captures many of those great qualities of European civilisation: the thirst for knowledge, the lifting of mankind up and freeing them from their shackles. This is music that speaks to me of the salvation of mankind through liberty and the revitalisation of the world through the spread of the Enlightenment. Mr. Tin, I am humbled by your talent. Bravo.
I think he's specifically referring to the Renaissance / Age of Enlightenment / Greco-Roman stuff, as those would fit his description well. And broadly yes, but the Renaissance and Enlightenment were mostly enjoyed by Europe I'd think. The Renaissance especially.
True, and it was the Enlightenment which eventually led to breaking the shackles of religion and eventually monarchies. It was the moment mankind freed itself from itself and strived to become a better species.
I love the nuance in the title: "Sogno di volare" means both "The dream of flight" and "I dream of flying". I think it incapsulates both the individual and shared components of human progress
Haven’t played this game and wouldn’t have heard this work if it wasn’t given to me as audition material. I can honestly say that my life has become objectively better now that this song is part of it. Thank you for bringing this into the world.

Thank you all for your comments and love! Your support means the world to me. I’m currently writing a NEW album based on “Sogno di Volare” and taking my fans on a journey through the creative process. Visit christophertin.com/albums/toshiverthesky.html for more info, and to pick up some leftover rewards from my Kickstarter campaign (including handwritten scores, studio visits to Abbey Road and more).
PS: ‘To Shiver the Sky’ set the world record for the highest funded classical music Kickstarter ever!
Our humanity at it's most aspirational, wondrous and beautiful. The world needs more of this, especially now I think. Thank you!
You are amazing please never stop
This is so good. I'm glad you are working on more!
I have been a huge fan of your work ever since Baba Yetu, but for some reason I only discovered Calling all Dawns yesterday. I can't even track how many times I listened to it since then, amazing work! Really looking forward to To Shiver the Sky! Your work is simply beautiful!
I love it. Please also have more concerts! At least one in Europe this or next year! Please!

I don't care what type of music you like. Country, rap, techno, etc. You cannot deny that this is one of the most majestic and overwhelmingly epic pieces of music ever written.
Im a Drum n Bass raver, and yet I find myself here.... interesting 🤔
It's just something different entirely. It's not (usually) something you play in your everyday life and just continue. You can't help feeling something, and stop for a moment, if it's only for a moment.
You use this to get into another state of mind. Reinvigorate is the word that comes to mind.
That doesn't only count for it, there are a number of tracks that are like this. I also had a time when I thought: That's the greatest ever. Now I know, there are a number of tracks that trigger this motion in my heart. But that's only more treasure to the world.
For music, there are different styles for different purposes, different moments, different goals. Those people who have realized this, have figured out a true wealth for their life.

I like that 6 years after the release of this song, Christopher Tin still takes time to read an react to the comments. That's commitment to his audience.
Friends, listen to this:
Leonardo was famous for taking notes of everything.
He recorded a visit to the hospital and every broken bone and bruise he had suffered, allegedly from falling out of a window.
However an English doctor recently reviewed the description and he believes it is not compatible with a vertical fall....but with a fall from an impact with the ground from angle of less that 45 degrees.
At that time Leonardo and his assistant were testing his glider. Guess where? On Monte Ceceri.
Nothing will ever convince me otherwise:
Leonardo must have tried himself, and he DID FLY.
That is how he knew. That is why he wrote these words.
First human to fly! He got a piece of Eden.
I would also be interested to read more about that
@Kawa UA-cam bill gates have them
@laflugantabastardo uh
Well actually it wasn't Leonardo, but his assistant, Tomasso Masini who bruised himself testing Leonardo's flying device. In his Codex on the Flight of Birds, Leonardo mentions that Tomasso piloted the device, took off from Monte Ceceri, glided on a distance of 1.000 metres, fell and broke a leg and severeal ribs. He survived and managed to recover in just a few months.
In case you don't know: The place mentioned in this, Mt. Ceceri, a mountain near Florence in Italy, is the place where Leonardo da Vinci tested his flying machines.

I'm just sitting here wondering what these first pioneers of flying would think if they could wittnes the present. 1903 the Wrigth brothers built the first propelled aircraft. In 2017 an average of 11.000.000 people per day have been flying. These song put this feeling into sound.

Bonum! This sounds like so much more than a theme for a game, more like the anthem for the planet Earth. THIS is how you follow "Baba Yetu"!
I am confused, do you like or not like the song.
I really do like it. I meant to say that, as a song, it shows such scale and grandeur, such that I wasn't expecting it from a strategy game.
There are many things in this opus looking like baba yetu : for exemple, 2:18 is the same "U FAL ME WAKO" theme in Bb minor (instead of C# minor in baba yetu)
anyway it's great music ! and i enjoy it

you are the GOAT@@christophertin
Congrats from Italy, Tuscany. This song is amazing. It is an hymn and a tribute to the spirit of humanism and of the reinassance which like a spark was turned on in Italy, in its cities like Firenze, Venezia, Roma in 1400', and then quickly spread like a majestic wind throughout Europe. If there was a petition to make this the anthem of humanity at the UN i would totally sign it.

I've seen people on this and Baba Yetu debating which one would be a better fit for a planetary anthem, and... Well, whichever one you prefer, I think we can all agree that Christopher Tin should be the one to compose such an anthem.
Such a talented musician, world class
Baba Yetu can be the Earth anthem.
This one seems more fit for the ones looking towards to stars and daring to cross the void between them. An organization settling e.g. the Moon, Mars or Alpha Centauri should have it as its anthem.
Baba Yetu's lyrics are a Christian prayer translated into Swahili and Christianity is the cancer of Mankind. So many human lives taken for no other reason than disobedience to a fantasy, so much scientific progress delayed in favour of worshipping ignorance. Baba Yetu, as beautiful as it is, shoudn't deserve to be even considered to represent all humans.
@@punkrockeris666 >blaming the faith itself and not the many zealots who've practiced it
Cool. Not like many significant scientific discoveries and great deeds were made by Christians as well...
Got my vote,
"For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return"
Civilization 4
It's also in civ 6 once u discover flight I think.
Yeah, that quote is in Civ VI as well :D
Its a quote from Leonardo Da Vinci.
The quotes were alays epic in the Civ games, even if sometimes not really original (I mean, the good old "I have become death, the destructor of worlds" for nuclear weapons, c'mon...)
+Lord Shadoko Oppenheimer, right? "I am become death" hahaAnd they're quotes, hard to be original if you're quoting somebody.
This is no exaggeration: When I first started the game, and went through the settings, I found myself lingering just to hear this outstanding track. It SOUNDS like Civilization, whatever that means.
It's just on the same level on quality as Baba Yetu.
Kinda don't like the african cradle idea sound samples in there... i rather listen to what we can become, then from where we came...
good ol chris tin is back
it is heavily debated as to what the cradle of humanity is, the oldest human discovered now was in the middle east.
The song itself is an epic. Encompassing the beauty of the series as a whole, from the sprawling seas of time and the ever-approaching future era of glorious peace or patriotic war. The human nature to discover, research, crawl, move, and become better from our trials. Idk. Christopher Tin just REALLY knows what he's doing
Listening to this song while looking at the first images taken by the James Webb telescope is an experience in and of itself. Despite our failures, it's amazing to see how far humanity has come.
That, and the first aircraft to take flight on another planet.
Without failure, there would never be progress. 👍🙂

Hi Christopher.
I am now 32 years old and I have played MANY videogames throughout my life.
The most important thing to me in a game has always been the music, a game can rise or fall with good or bad music.
I thought I'd already heard all of the greatest videogame soundtracks that exist, but today I bought CIV 6 and my jaw dropped to the floor.
I don't even want to start an actual match, I just wanna stay in the main menu and listen to this glorious piece of music.
Not just one of the most beautiful videogame soundtracks ever, but possibly one of the most epic compositions I've ever listened to, period!
Cheers from Germany, you've created something of immortal value.
I have to agree with. 34 yrs old myself and it doesn't get much better than this. Having said that, Civ games always have good music. Baba Yetu from Civ IV is just as good I think.
Don't forget to park on the menu screen of CIV 4 too!
PLEASE play Horizon Zero Dawn!
The music creates this unmatched atmospheric aesthetic and the story is superb. The best single player RPG I have ever played in my life.
@@GoBlueHTB
I agree, but the Mass Effect Trilogy is even better than that. The story, characters and music fit together perfectly

Christopher Tin as Great Musician in DLC please?
Aiden Pearce yeah
I hope it wil be a DLC. If it's going to be a DLC I know I'm going to buy it
I think Mr Tin would be rather embarrassed if that happened while he was still alive.
indeed to call oneself a great person is kinda too much, they dont have to be dead but still...
For one, as popular as Tin is, I don't think he is as venerated as Beethoven or Berlioz (yet). Secondly, it would be improper as Tin was hired to compose music for this game. People will wonder if being featured as a "Great Musician" was a little bonus he got in addition to his fee.
I always found it so wild and moving that Da Vinci wrote a song about humanity achieving flight after he and the other greatest minds of the time couldn't achieve it. Something about the spirit needed to dream that big despite it seeming completely impossible for even the foremost science of the day is really inspiring.
He knew that human ingenuity and stubborness would make it possible someday
The most beautiful thing is that it is due to dreamers like da Vinci having the dream in the first place and writing about it, designing it, even if he was so far from the mark, that people like the Wright brothers were able to realize the concept in reality. A dream sets a plan in motion, maybe it won't become real in your lifetime, but someday someone will share your passion and make it so. That's what I believe.
Leonardo da Vinci never wrote a song about achieving flight. If you are referring to "And once you have tasted flight..." that was a voice over by Fredric March and written by John H. Secondari. If you are referring to something else, I would be interested in knowing what "song" he wrote about flight
If I ever hear anyone saying they don't like modern classical music, I simply play this. It's a tragedy that modern classical is overlooked by many, because to my mind, if Christopher Tin had written choral music of this standard several hundred years ago, he'd be held in the same esteem as household names like Brahms (my personal favourite) and Beethoven. That's not an exaggeration, this is a truly magnificent piece of music from an amazing composer; I fear that it's only a level of snobbery within some musical circles that keeps modern composers from getting the wider recognition they absolutely deserve.
"Man will be lifted by his own creation."
Some really powerfull words and really telling of humanity and the technological progress we have made thus far and which we will continue to make as we will spread across the stars.
La bellezza di testo che ha fatto da Vinci è una meraviglia già conosciuta. Ma, anche la melodia che tu hai fatto è il grandissimo capolavoro. È l'inno di tutta la umanità. Grazie, Christopher.

@@christophertin "War" victory, not over other men, but victory over barbarism, fear, and greed. The concepts that have held humanity back for thousands of years and led to so much despair, anguish and suffering.
Perhaps, alternately, a 'culture' victory, but more how cultures never 'win' long term, but are all interwoven to make us what we are today. We still have concepts from the former founding 'civilizations' (real world) Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Indian, Chinese, etc. that guide how we interconnect and interact with our friends, families, neighbors, other citizens of our countries, and other nations around the world.
Shame it didn't come attached to a good game like Baba Yetu did.
@@hakuso.3 I've honestly found myself wanting to play Civ 6 more and more over 5 the more I get into it. I feel like a tool for paying full price for Gathering Storm but it actually does add a lot of replayability
This song was recommended to me randomly in a streaming service. And it struck me like a lightning. Now when i found it with lyrics it actually makes me tear up. Such a majestic hymn to the humankind's aspiration and triumph! It makes me wish to be hopeful and strong again. Maybe i will, one day. Thank you for this beautiful piece!
As cheesy as it may sound but if we ever *have* an anthem for humanity, this would be a solid contender in my eyes. It's about human ingenuity and what we can achieve together. We literally made tons of metal fly. We put people on top of a stack of explosives and sent them off careening into the sky ... and we brought them back in one piece. Well most of them... but those that didn't come back will not be forgotten either.
The ones that didn't make it all the way were still taken along for the journey- even if they couldn't actually see it themselves.
I guess this song could really fit, because it doesnt talk about the dark past of humanity or the odds faced because of religion and culture, rather it talks about the future and the great feats we can achieve together, when the plane was invented it was not made for a nation, rather to humanity itself
Also, it's about Leonardo da Vinci, who is pretty much the quintessential human because he was an artist, a scientist, and, most importantly, an engineer.
Hmm also Fanfare for the Common Man is a pretty strong contender imo
@@presidentbanana4536 Leonardo da Vinci, achieving all types of victories since 1452. (except world domination of course, but yknow...)
One of the most OP humans to ever live, if not the most OP human in history.
Such a beautiful piece. Tin is truly a master composer. Not only does this sound incredible, for me (at least) I think it displays a nice contrast of his last piece, Baba Yetu.
Baba Yetu almost sounds reflective in it’s presentation, like it’s saying “Look what we’ve accomplished, look at how far we’ve come.”
Volare, on the other hand, sounds triumphant and powerful. Like it’s looking towards the sky. Like it’s saying “Look how far we can go.”
you're right, they're both beautiful in their own unique way
We may have gone far, but this is nothing compared to how far we can go!!!!!!
actually baba yetu is more like a religious chanting, because the translation is literally "our father" prayer
@@borderline.monster5710 I still like it, mostly because they sing in Swahili and i want to learn Swahili :)
I like this comparison! I love both very much, but for me, there’s something about Baba Yetu that’s feels “large scale”, like there’s something bigger than the song itself. Sogno is epic and grand but Baba Yeti moves me to f-in tears.every.dang.time 😭
Christopher Tin has created the great work "Sogno di Volare"
Haha, the developer should implement that in next patch
That would be hilarious AND awesome, if Christopher Tin were included as a Modern Era Great Artist. xD
I find really stunning the fact that Christopher Tin, despite being a succesful and very busy artist, finds the time to love almost every comment. Thank you, Mr Tin (I hope my comment will egt a heart as well).
Whenever I hear this song my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to "From the first stirrings of life beneath water... to the great beasts of the Stone Age... to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest: from this early cradle of civilization on towards the stars."
To the stars and beyond.
Per aspera ad astra my friend.
Heroic Frederick...king of the Germans, your task is to forge the independent states that surround you into an empire. You are blessed to be a great military leader. Use those skills to bring those cities under your sway, so that they may develop into military and industrial powerhouses. Surely then the bards will sing of Frederick with the red beard, the great Holy Roman Emperor.
And the best thing: Sean Bean's voice in your mind by just reading it...
Cast your net wide, oh Trajan, emperor of mighty Rome. Your legions stand at the ready to march out and establish the largest empire the world has ever seen. If you can truly get all roads to lead to Rome, yours will be an empire of great riches and luxuries. Surely then our citizens will proclaim you as their best ruler, the Optimus Princeps.
When the song begins, I think of the clicking of the main menu folding open
As an Italian, Thank you Christopher.
What you have created is beautiful: an hymn to humanity's accomplishments and ongoing thirst for knowledge, progress and discovery, with a stunning poetry-like sentence structure ('Lì a casa il cuore sentirai').
This is why everyone calls you a Great musician.
“For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will long to return.” - Leonardo di Vinci, Flight Tech Quote, Civilization IV
(R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy)
I had my first flight last year I believe and no matter how limited the view were it felt fucking amazing. Seeing the clouds as the plane soar, feeling the gravity of Mother Earth pushing down, alongside with the beautiful sea it feels amazing. I would love to experience it, I was pretty much awake half the time the flight just staring out of the window.
I know this was uploaded 6 years ago, but my husband just started playing this game on the Switch. I myself have not played a single minute of this game, but immediately had to look up this song when it came on. I'm now listening to the entire Civ 6 soundtrack, nothing beats this triumphant-sounding piece. Well done, Christopher Tin. I think you've single-handedly inspired a generation of people.
As an Italian, I am stunned by the power of my mothertongue. That's one of the best soundtrack ever listened in a game
Komdave be stunned by Leonardo da Vinci. A man truly ahead of his time
I live in a country immersed in the Beauty, surrounded by the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Palladio. Foreigners aren't able to understand that for Italians is "banal" admiring those men.
P.s: expecially for English speakers, when you pronounce Italian names, be sure to pronounce them by reading in Italian, not in English
Komdave Grande. Bisognerebbe considerare la grandezza estasiante del patrimonio storico-artistico del nostro Paese, un Paese che ci dà tanto e che per il magna magna di pochi e le collusioni con le mafie noi testardamente lo biasimiamo, non capendo che solo rivoltando l'ordine del sistema il potere potrà spettare al popolo e rendere così onore ai grandi che grande hanno resa la patria
As a French speaker, I am stunned by our similar our languages are. That said, I envy you greatly to live in Italy. If I was to visit, I fear I'd never be done discovering and probably wouldn't go back home.
I'm Hungarian, but I study Italian. I could understand a few words and even a few lines from the song... maybe in a few months I will be able to understand it all! Italian is a beautiful language, but it's very difficult to learn.

This song outright makes me cry. I'm almost certainly convinced I'm sociopathic in my degree of apathy for the world and yet I hear this and I stop thinking about the game, about how music is 'just' music, and I feel that ache in my heart.
Mediocre art is almost 90%, maybe even 99% of what we consume. But what we really live for, is this. This one percent that manages to resonate deep within.
Thank you, for writing this. You've made the world a slightly better place to live in.

The anthem of Humanity if there ever was one. It's a testament to all we have accomplished, what we have faced and what we will do in the future. We are here today because our forefathers persevered, and we continue to do that to this day. Because Humanity will change just as the world does, and we will mend the wounds of the past, confront the present, and face the challenges of the future..or die trying.
And we will continue to do this. Weather we hail from the sprawling cities of America, the deserts of Africa, the exotic valleys of India, the many islands of Japan or the lush forests of Scandinavia, we will continue to move forward...togheter. Because that is the strength of OUR family-the Human race. And we never, EVER, give up. Because WE have created Civillizations..to stand the test of time.
Bravo. Well put!
You are absolutely right . Humanity can reach all frontiers , because this is what humanity does for thousands of years of the existence of our civilization. Terra Eternum!
Woah, that was beautiful
Wow but spelling please
thank you! someone who has hope in humanity.

I'm starting to think the one thing Christopher Tin really wants to compose is an anthem for all of humanity
argebarse I think he already does.
He has already made two.
argebarse Baba Yetu is the anthem of Earth. Sogno di Volare is the anthem for humans once we leave Earth
You got that right.
@@sharplydressedrabbit3604 totally agree
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE DARK AGES WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Mr.tin got the cultural victory again.
There should be a mod including Christopher Tin and Sid Meier as Great People
Fuck that, they should be Great People in the base game. I don't care how self-aggrandizing it is. Although if we're adding modern composers, John Williams is a must-include as well.
Let's not continue this demand to add certain people as Great Person or we'll get Justin Bieber as Great Musician.
*shudders* Perish the thought! lol.
Sid gave his name for the ultimate difficulty in Civ3, and oneof the most powerful corporations in Civ4, and it's his name on the thing always. Maybe he felt that was enough for now.
Imagine all of the people of the planet singing, dancing with this playing. Humanity coul really be proud ! We are not the same by face or culture, but we should never forget the fact we're all the same specie, a specie destined to do great things!
Cheers and respect to all who read.
Agent.O Indeed! we need to look at the positive sides off humanty more. Watching the syrian civil war and Islamic state massacring a great number of people makes you question humans as a whole, but as you said one day humanety will realise what our main purpose is :D
We need a culture victory against the middle east lol
yep, totally, but first we must erradicate some cultures first. You know, the ones who are fighting each other for stuffs that actually don't exists.
IDarkNight Well, more and more people realise there is no god (at least cant be proven) among us. Give humanity some time and religion will only be part of humanity's long history :)
"Mankind will be lifted by its own creation."
Unfortunately, mankind can be dragged down by its own creation too. :(
A beautiful reminder of what humanity is capable of
Have you seen the Game's Opening video? I love the speech on the last part of it.
That Guy If we only look up. Look to heaven and all things are possible.
Really just white people and Asians.
Well to be fair. The last 2000 years or so, all major discoveries has been done by europeans (including people of european descent) and Asians (mostly east asians).
Lol Africans enslaved themselves and sold their brothers to Jewish traders who took them to America. Don't put that on me, all my ancestors did was buy them.
I bought this game on Steam and started playing it yesterday.
I instantly liked this theme, and once I understood that it was sung in my language, I loved it even more.
Love from Italy 💚🤍❤
I assumed it was Latin.
@@danielcreatd872 Close, but no, it's italian
Can you imagine this playing in a compilation stretching from Leonardo's flying machines, to the Wright Brothers, Chuck Yeagar, Yuri Gagarin, and finally to Apollo 11?
Well... that's why I'm creating a full album out of it! To make it a part of the history of great visionaries like Earhart, Gagarin, JFK and more.
(To both you and @Autistic Foamer, I guess)
I was actually thinking of using this (properly licensed, of course) in a compilation about progress in my fictional universe and corresponding alternate history, with most of the video clips made in an extremely heavily modified version of Kerbal Space Program.
Specifically, it would be used when an alien people first attain flight on the back of a semi-domestic creature during what is their Late Paleolithic and our Early Paleolithic (the very first event) and when they finally achieve contact with humans after the Pegasus 2 mission in either the 2080s or 2140s, depending on the alternate history scenario I select (the very last event). Other *lesser* songs would be used for intermediate events like the first alien landing and returning from their habitable moon, the first human flight, the first non-stop aerial circumnavigation of Earth, the first Mars landing, etc. ;)
+ Christopher Tin I eagerly await your album, but until it comes out, a university aviation program created this phenomenal animation in the style of the Civilization games, set to your sublime "Dream of Flight". ua-cam.com/video/6yNBDCOGTpg/v-deo.html
+Autistic Foamer The closest thing I've seen to that is this video, but it's pretty darn close. ua-cam.com/video/6yNBDCOGTpg/v-deo.html
I think it runs deeper than that - I interpret it not as simply about "flight" in the literal sense, but as the flight of the human mind. I work in video and I'm thinking of making a videoclip encompassing the whole human evolution and achievement - science, art, the good and the bad, the fact that we are here and we demand to be heard by the universe. To believe that something must persist, that the path must be worth it, that we are valuable because we are human. This is an incredible piece, an amazing statement on human desire, the essence of humanity. To quote a great poet, when faced with the unacceptable, with the inherent imperfection of life, "there must be a way.
surely there must be a way that we have not yet
though of.
who put this brain inside of me?
it cries
it demands
it says that there is a chance.
it will not say
"no."
The Stars await us.
Some will enter its domain with sword and shield in hand, bracing to hold back whatever horrors lurk in the infinite blackness that could snuff out our burgeoning species.
Some will enter with eyes aflame with curiosity, seeking the secrets of the cosmos and the answers to questions that have ate at us since we first looked up at the sky and wondered.
Some will reach out into the void with olive branches and smiles of peace, hoping that we will find a neighbor who we may call friend, that we may no longer be alone in The Universe.
Some will watch the cosmic dance of infinity and try to comprehend it with brushes and paint and sculpture and scripture, their revelations of creativity and inspiration influencing how we look up into the night sky.
Humanity's time has come to join the stars in the heavens above. We may stumble, we may bicker and battle with ourselves, but the first steps are always rocky.
But we cannot stay in the cradle anymore.
The Stars await us.
Beautiful!

Getting that reply from you, so soon after posting it too, that just made my day. Thank you, Sir!
Wow
Masterfully written. I like how you have associated every victory type (except religion,cause what would that do) with space. An well deserved upvote.
@@aadityacs6773 Idk what you're talking about, I sent the finest copy of my Denouncing Venice handbook with my Mars colony in my first science victory.
A lot modern music doesn't seem to do it for me, and I constantly find myself looking backwards to some of my favorite composers. This includes not only the Mozarts or Beethovens or Holst, but the great movie composers like John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone and Alan Silvestri.
It amazes me now that some of the best music I find is being introduced to me through video games, and artists like Nobuo Uematsu, Geoff Knorr, Michael Curran and of course Christopher Tin are creating our new classics. Bravo gentlemen!
Thanks!
When I hear this song, it gives me a feeling of hope for humanity. One day war, violence and ignorance will be overcome, and instead we will have glory, peace and ingenuity!
ScotsWarrior95 its very bad if world want to be united so many blood of young people will be shed. Yes World can unite but in Jewish alternative NWO (New World Order)
War, violence and ignorance (among other things) are human nature. No war and no unjust violence is a possibility when the human race goes extinct. And the human race going extinct is probably the only thing left that can save planet Earth.
Your vile antisemitism aside (it's time to get off the internet and go outside if you seriously believe in a "Jewish NWO"), I'll never understand how people can be so pessimistic.
We're living in the wealthiest, most peaceful, most plentiful time in history. War deaths are at their lowest point in human history, poverty is in freefall (it has halved since 2005 alone!), the rate of population growth is set to level off by 2050, there are more democratic nations than ever before, and sustainable technology is advancing more rapidly than anyone expected even just six years ago.
Things are looking great and are set to get better, but of course only bad news tends to be noteworthy on any given day, because bombs explode quickly but good news happens slowly.

This is the song that resembles how mankind has advanced and even surpassed nature. How we can even go further. This will Always be THE song of The humankind history.good job
Mt. Ceceri is where Da Vinci tested his flying machines, a hill near Florence, today's Italy. There is a stone inscription there now about it, some of it can be found here in the lyrics (il primo volo, the first flight, etc).
And if you check the credits for this song, it reads "Lyrics by Leonardo da Vinci". That is just incredibly cool to me.
It's been 6 years now... And I still get goosebumps every time I download the game again to play with my friends and I hear this masterpiece playing in the main menu.

Baba Yetu made it, lets go for another grammy boys. Seriously though tin, great job with this, you've outdone yourself again.
I've been a gamer for 25 years now. Somehow I had never played Civ 6 till now. This is the first time in my whole life I've opened a game and just let it run listening to the music. It's THAT good.
The majesticness of this piece is among the great names like Beethoven or Pucchini. You have created an absolute masterpiece here :)
If it's your first Civ game may I suggest Baba Yetu, Civ 4 theme (if not mistaken). It's another absolute masterpiece.
@@schmitt00 Yeah, it was suggested to me by youtube algorithm. love it. thx though :)
GOOOOOAAAATT - so excited to hear you are doing Civ 7!!
I bought a new car recently. And I chose this song to be the first one I play over it. That's how special it is to me.
Seriously, this is quite possibly the greatest video game theme I've ever heard. Thank you.
Hey, thanks James!
In all the promos, I said to myself "It's okay. It's not Baba Yetu." When I heard Mr. Tin say "Baba Yetu was very African and Sogno di Volare is very European in inspiration" I was a bit put out, because what I heard didn't sound as if it represents the styles great music in Western tradition. I thought it felt like generic movie music.
I was so wrong. When I first started Civ 6, the music almost instantly brought a tear to my eyes. This version is so incredibly beautiful. More than beauty, it is inspiring. It captures many of those great qualities of European civilisation: the thirst for knowledge, the lifting of mankind up and freeing them from their shackles. This is music that speaks to me of the salvation of mankind through liberty and the revitalisation of the world through the spread of the Enlightenment.
Mr. Tin, I am humbled by your talent. Bravo.
couldnt say it any better
Festung Europa Never heard of the Enlightenment? That's okay. Intelligence and ambition are the engines of progress anyhow.
Those aren't qualities of European civilization. They are the qualities of all mankind.
I think he's specifically referring to the Renaissance / Age of Enlightenment / Greco-Roman stuff, as those would fit his description well. And broadly yes, but the Renaissance and Enlightenment were mostly enjoyed by Europe I'd think. The Renaissance especially.
True, and it was the Enlightenment which eventually led to breaking the shackles of religion and eventually monarchies. It was the moment mankind freed itself from itself and strived to become a better species.
I love the nuance in the title: "Sogno di volare" means both "The dream of flight" and "I dream of flying". I think it incapsulates both the individual and shared components of human progress
Haven’t played this game and wouldn’t have heard this work if it wasn’t given to me as audition material.
I can honestly say that my life has become objectively better now that this song is part of it. Thank you for bringing this into the world.
