I remember when my friends would start Civ IV just to listen to Baba Yetu and heck, I couldn't blame them. Several years passed and I had just installed latest Civilization, going through the menu options, at first ignoring the music playing in the background. After about a minute I realized- "Holly sh1t, what kind of sorcery is that theme?!". I googled it's author and ever since then I'm your dedicated fan. You, sir, are a genius.
There aren’t very many games where the music becomes more than simply an accompaniment of the gameplay. Christopher Tin has managed to do so twice with Civ 4 and 6; a theme so good you sit in the menu until it’s over. Incredible.
"The developers (...) didn't have much (...). It was really just a static image of the opening menu screen, but that was enough to get my imagination going!" And You just casually came up with this breathtaking, uplifting masterpiece like it's a piece of cake!?! Next time, they will e-mail you just one word, and you are going to be like: "OK, hold my beer" ;-) If this isn't a pure genius that I don't know what is! Chapeau bas, Christopher, chapeau bas!
Petition to make Christopher Tin the Great Artist of the Atomic age in the next Civilization. Helps to boost a civilization on culture points for a cultural victory hahaha
Pretty sure no one still alive will ever be made a Great Person in a Civ game outside of modding - but there's already a Civ6 mod that makes him a Great Musician. Creates the Great Works of Music "Baba Yetu" and "Sogna di Volare". Even plays a clip of each, like other Great Works.
Every time I hear this song I get such a waterfall of emotions. A couple of months ago the song got a whole new meaning for me. After studying 5 years for something I could not finish in the end, I decided to go a completely different way. Last Juni I had examens and though it was tough starting from zero, this song gave me so much strength and willpower to move on. Now, after receiving amazing grades, it only gives me more joy and love ... Thank you for you beautiful, empowering music. Hopefully I will be able to say it to you in person one day
Christopher, for me (with your 'Baba yetu') 'Sogno di volare' it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Well done! (Bravo!, bravo!)
I remember the Goosebumps I felt listening to Baba Yetu. That song captures my culture in every way. That's the beauty of Mr Tin's music. Not only does he lets you hear; he lets you see. You can literally see yourself flying when listening to Sogno di Volare. Powerful.
I think this theme, above all, does speak the world "civilization" itself, through the story of evolution of flight. It was inspiring to watch this BTS.
CHRISTOPHER TIN: ni tu madre; ni tu esposa; ni tu hijo, te amará más que yo! Eres el genio SIGLO XXI y yo amaré tus obras hasta que la muerte nos separe! Soy tu FAN NÚMERO 1 !!!
Man you are a genius. Remenber one thing man, all those great artists we remember were not all recognized during their time. But as time passed, their music became legendary, think of Bach whose music used to be ignored and despise and today hes considered a genius in music. Remember your songs you wrote will stay throught time. Like me who just discovered your musics today, same with baba yetu. others might discover you in a year or ten. But your music will stay be remembered
Every now and again, I get super into aviation and its history. Then I listen to this a lot and it makes me choke up. Thank you Christopher and friends
The song itself shiver my own sky. Shivering, immersing, inspiring, and dragging me to fly higher in my life. Thank you for this masterpiece. It's more than just a game soundtrack. The vanilla Civ 6 menu screen itself is inspiring, with the compass and scrolling maps. It left me deeper impression than their expansions.
Watching this video I realized that you not only make good music because you were contracted to do so, but because you have a real passion for the art. Sogno di Volare is a transcendentally beautiful piece of music. Thank you so much for the hard work that went in to making it. p.s. the best mod in civ 6 is the one that adds Christopher Tin as a great musician.
I love music like this, it makes my live so much better. It’s so important for me, it is motivating me to do what I want. My class members did always mone about my music, but their rap music is just motivating them to be rude and anti social. My music is motivating me to do greater things, learning about how the universe is working and making thoughts about many things. I learned to find the epicness I found in music in science and in my daily live. Thank you Christopher Tin
Christopher, thank you for this. Since I was 10 I was around your music with Civ IV, and it got me crying every time, and Sir. you still do. Thank you so much for this emotional roller coaster.
Thank you for giving us access to this video and the ones to follow. On behalf of people like myself, we love taking a look at the process of creating music, where inspiration comes from and the rehearsal process. The album is going to be awesome
Best Music a man could possibly wright for this game, everything fits together telling a story of progression, suffer, achievements and nature, about loosing and giving and about a view back through history of mankind to the point where we are now, the democracy. Where all humans should be viewed and treated as equal and love should be the bond between us all. But there were wars in the future we should not forget, but not repeat. Great work, nearly brings me to tears listening to it.
Just a perfect song. Id often blast this song on my way to the control room when I was working at the Marshall Space Flight Center. If you timed it right, the theme would begin the rocket launch countdown as the Space and Rocket Center's standing Saturn rocket came over the horizon.
Thank you Chris! I loved The Drop That Contained The Sea so much. It helped me get through a challenging time in my life. Everytime I listened to the album I was able to forget about my troubles and stress. Hearing Iza Ngomso makes me euphoric, and Waloyo Yamoni is incredible. It leaves me breathless everytime. Calling All Dawns is an amazing experience from start to finish as well. Mado Kara Mieru returns me to a time when my world was more colourful, and helps bring some of that colour back. So I just want to say thank you again, Chris. For everything you've composed. I'm so excited to hear what's coming in to Shiver the Sky, and have no doubt it will be magical.
This song makes me think about Kaito Momota... The Luminary of the Stars is proud Anyway I've always thought the long term thinking you show when composing is mesmerizing. Calling all dawns blew my mind, but To shiver the sky is just something else. The use of this album's leitmotifs is amazing, and the ambiences you are capable of creating are just incredible. Thank you so much for your inspiration and talent! I've always liked music and videogames, I've studied and composed before, but now I've decided to work hard in order to leave my footprint and shoot for the stars! You are inspiration!
This dude simply created the anthem of mankind off the freaking main menu screenshot.
Fucking legend.
Agreed

Haha, exactly the same here!
He actually is a genius, he needs to play this theme like everywhere, everyone should hear this atleast once
I have done that with all of his themes.
Loving this song ♥ thats like the National Anthem of Humankind
David Wefers totally agree
i cannot imagine any other type or genre of music for that
What a fitting comment, thank you for that.
There aren’t very many games where the music becomes more than simply an accompaniment of the gameplay. Christopher Tin has managed to do so twice with Civ 4 and 6; a theme so good you sit in the menu until it’s over. Incredible.
I’m glad you showed your thought of making “Sogno Di Volare”
Inject this song directly into my veins.
Best song to describe the goal of humanity, the will to get better

@@furiouschicken1 I know I;m french lmao
@@paploox5404 that means I'm right, right? *wink* *wink*
@@furiouschicken1 more like "hats off" but I get your point
This is the national anthem of humanity
As an Italian it makes me immensely proud, Tin chose my native language for his masterpiece.

"Sogno di Volare" è davvero un brano epico, grazie per averci regalato questa emozione !
More behind-the-scenes videos like this Christopher! Thank you so much!

I would love a 30min format of the composition process.
Laying here listening to this song with tears in my eyes from the sheer epic majesty of it. Truly such a great song
I always get goosebumps when I listen to this song. I have no idea how you do it so damn consistently
Christopher, for me (with your 'Baba yetu') 'Sogno di volare' it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Well done! (Bravo!, bravo!)
Damn this song really gives me goosebumps. Whenever i get a goosebumps by a music piece, that means the music piece is really majestic!
So in love with this song, gets me ready for everything, like I can do anything.
I remember the Goosebumps I felt listening to Baba Yetu. That song captures my culture in every way. That's the beauty of Mr Tin's music. Not only does he lets you hear; he lets you see. You can literally see yourself flying when listening to Sogno di Volare. Powerful.
Exactly the moment, when I open the game and stay at that main menu screen much longer than expected to listen and to sing along
I think this theme, above all, does speak the world "civilization" itself, through the story of evolution of flight. It was inspiring to watch this BTS.
The way all the voices lead up to and converge at the word "Gloria" gives me goosebumps.
I love this song so much. Understanding it makes it even better.
Wonderful piece of music Christopher. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Looking forward to singing it with the Stay at home choir...

Magnificent Chris! Can`t wait to hear your new great album of human being!
Christopher, you are a legend!
The song itself shiver my own sky. Shivering, immersing, inspiring, and dragging me to fly higher in my life. Thank you for this masterpiece. It's more than just a game soundtrack.
The vanilla Civ 6 menu screen itself is inspiring, with the compass and scrolling maps. It left me deeper impression than their expansions.
Thank you for sharing the process which helps us to appreciate and savour the majestic music at a deeper level.
Christopher Tin is the Mozart of this century. Mark my words.

Thank you for inspiring a generation of music composers and lovers alike.
Parabéns maestro, és um gênio, tuas composições são fenomenais, bravo bravíssimo 👏👏👏👏👏 Brasil
It's really fascinating to see these singles shape an entire process of an album. Really reminds me of Calling All Dawns.
Christopher, thank you for this. Since I was 10 I was around your music with Civ IV, and it got me crying every time, and Sir. you still do. Thank you so much for this emotional roller coaster.
This piece got me back into Civilization again, what a masterpiece. Thank you so much Christopher!
Bravissimo Christopher!!! 💪🔝
Posiblemente la canción que mejor define el paso de la humanidad. Felicidades Christofer Tin , es una obra de arte
An album from Christopher Tin based on this history of human flight?
Shut up and take my money!
(Please don't actually shut up. I love your work.)
This song is a magnificent piece of greatness and inspiration, very well done!
Artistry has rarely ever been so poetic.
Now I see
You are one of the great ones, those who enrich humanity with their great creations.

Yes Christopher, your pronunciation is terrible, but "Sogno di Volare" is perfect! (by an Italian civilization VI player)
Haha, thanks!
Gracias por este tema, thanks for this song .
Christopher you are so talented your vision of music is truly unique.
죽기전에 마지막으로 할수있는 단 하나의 일이 있다면 이 노래를 들을것
정말 감사합니다
Thank you so much for the inspiring music all these years. And thanks for the peek behind the process!
Beautiful song

Leanardo da Vinci would be proud to see his dream has come true
Моё почтение этому композитору!
Espero que algún día este en Chile.
Beautiful. Trying to get over serious illness but this certainly helped.
❤️💪
Браво Кристофер! Вы прониклись русской музыкой при написании песни "The Power of the Spirit" =) у вас это здорово получилось!
Rachmaninoff’s Vespers is my favorite choral music.
This song makes me think about Kaito Momota... The Luminary of the Stars is proud
Anyway I've always thought the long term thinking you show when composing is mesmerizing. Calling all dawns blew my mind, but To shiver the sky is just something else. The use of this album's leitmotifs is amazing, and the ambiences you are capable of creating are just incredible. Thank you so much for your inspiration and talent! I've always liked music and videogames, I've studied and composed before, but now I've decided to work hard in order to leave my footprint and shoot for the stars! You are inspiration!
Wow! It would be so cool to be able to listen to a live performance of your own work, actually experiencing it's fulfilment. Inspiring stuff
TOTALLY BRILLANT !!! LOVED IT CHRISTOPHER TIN . AGREE " THE NATIONAL ANTHEM" FOR HUMANKIND . FROM U.K. (202100.
Woke up at 4AM just to see this...
So excited for this at the end of next month!
了不起的作品！感谢你！
Unironically you pronounced those lyrics really good Chris. Can't wait for the full album!!
Its tough to get into the game cuz I dont want to leave the title screen cuz of this song.
So beautiful!!!!! You're my favorite composer and each price you create is breathtaking. I can't wait to hear the premier of this album!
I have been hopefully awaiting this masterpiece since you first announced it at cadogan hall in London, back in 2016.
Ah, were you there?
@@christophertin absolutely. Found out that night that music can be so powerful, you can run out of breath while listening. (during wayolo)
You inspired me. And that's cool
I still click "Listen now" as if I haven't already listened 13,000 times...
Thank you for making this. It is beautiful.
Bravo Maestro.
Awesome ! I love that song ! Thanks for the video !
Sou sua fã. Saudações desde Curitiba - Brasil😍
sounds so good on spotify
I adore this work, so meaningful. It is a hymn to humankind. If we ever meet I want to teach you how to pronounce the words, lol.
My body is ready.
Please come to Atlanta so me and the Bois can hear this live!
The Big A! I’ve been many times.
ohohohh love it
baba yetu is in my mind
