Lyrics in Polish Astronomio, gwiezdna drogo, Tyś jest matką wszelkiej wiedzy. Choćby człowiek żył ubogo, Jego domem kosmos świetny. Nic czystszego ponad gwiazdy. Sięgaj wyżej, gdy nad sobą Przewspaniałe śledzisz Widowisko. Astronomio, piękne nieba Ty poznajesz, masz za swoje. Wobec twojej szlachetności Bledną ziemskie niepokoje. Patrząc w gwiazdy widzisz dzieło Boże. Gwiazdy, księżyc, I planety.
I love the darker note at 6:35, reminding us that the work of Copernicus got criticized and rejected during his lifetime, but ends with a more hopeful tone, for he was in the right all along and got ultimately celebrated.
The organ at the start of the piece paints an image of sitting in a cathedral on a cloudy evening for an evensong mass, when the light is low but for candles and the soft periwinkle blue light coming through windows that stained glass. As the orchestra and choir begin Copernicus’ ode, much as the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor segment in Disney’s Fantasia illustrates, the sheer power of the music takes you away from wherever you may be and into your imagination: swirling galaxies, shimmering stars, planets and celestial phenomena, great and small. I would personally dub this a celestial cantata: a piece that in all instruments and voices sings about the sacred beauty of the heavens beyond our little blue planet. It speaks to my near-lifelong love of stars and has made itself my favorite piece from To Shiver the Sky; truly stellar!
I've been trying to listen to the Christopher Tin channel while signing hospital charts... I keep having to stop and stare at the video, or read through the lyrical poetry, and in general pine for the beauty of this world, as well as the world to come in which God makes my job unnecessary and obsolete. Thank you Maestro, for your generous gift of illumination.
I listened to this song like thousand times, fell in love with it, but didn't realize right 'till now it's being sung in my mother tongue. Great heavens! Now it sounds to me like a love song to the stars 😲
Okay, my friend, with the normal sized head that fits an extremely oversized brain in it to be able to put something like this together!!! This is just amazing! The music is absolutely heavenly, and to be able to watch the score come together with all the moving parts, then the constellations appear, is just awesome. I don't know how you do this, but so thankful that I get to do the easy part and watch and listen. LOL Best wishes to you, Chris, and your continued catapult past the greatest composers ever. :-))))))))))))))
I feel a bit late for the party, but this was a triple moment. First listening of this glorious music, then taken in by the sublime animation, which took me further into the score, and just when I had settled into that warm blanket, I found myself outside, under the stars. That transformation was just sublime. Now on second time around and loving it more. Thanks
This came up today on my phone while I was pulling out of the Sonic after taking the kids to happy hour for slushies. It must have been the 50th time I've heard the song, and today I thought I was going to weep. It was just before the choir comes in. Maybe around 1 minute. I always loved it, but something about today. It felt new. Thanks for this song and for your albums.
Sublime en toda la extensión de la palabra. Gracias Chris por regalarnos estos sonidos que entran por la piel a todos los rincones de nuestro ser. Gracias 💖🎶💓✨
This is my absolute favorite piece of To Shiver the Sky. It's breathtaking, for such a quiet piece, that there's so much depth and complexity with all the instruments and when they come in and all the unique notes they add to this beautiful tapestry of music. Reminds me a lot of the night sky, each little star, planet, and galaxy twinkling and contributing toward the beauty that we as humans get to enjoy for free! And the lyrics and meaning of the song come full circle. Thank you, Chris -- you've done it!
Truly makes you feel like you are gazing up at the stars. Amazing work as always Mr.Tin! You're outstanding. Hope you do some more concerts as I'd drop a paycheck for that
I was thinking to myself that the music was good, but its really missing some vocals but then right as i finished that thought, the vocals came in which, im probably the only one, or at least one of few who got to experience and appreciate that timing, but it was a really nice touch and then the decision to have constellations in the sheet music, absolute genius
The combination of the score with a totally suggestive background and complementary to the music is simply emotional for me. Thanks again for your music!
Christopher, I just love this work; really lovely melodies, counterpoint, instrumentation, and harmony. What I enjoy most is the well-crafted architecture, especially the way you managed to hit the Golden Ratio (K for Kopernikus!) at just the right moment. Was that intended? Well done!
Thank you for that great Zoom SAHC meeting. I have now watched and listened to your animated video. It's fantastic. Goosbumps. Thank you so much for this wonderful and touching music
Love this piece! Admittedly, I didn't think I'd like it, but it's not only relaxing but also quite musically interesting in my opinion. I have a question about the score though. Why is it written with accidentals in-score rather than with a key signature? I do notice a lot of tonicization going on, so maybe that's why. Or perhaps being a conductor's score it doesn't need a key signature? I really don't know enough about this haha. Keep up the great work!
That's a stylistic thing that we who tend to work in film/video games do. When you're in a recording session, it's a lot easier for players to sight read if there aren't key signatures. This piece would have been perfect for a key signature, true, but I like to be consistent and simply don't use them anywhere.
Olá Tim nesse momento estou ouvindo essa bela canção, ainda não compreendi a letra mas já estou viajando na melodia,do que fala essa musica? vc pode me dizer? só sei q é muito bom de se ouvir. Deus foi maravilhoso com vc,pois te deu o dom de compor belas letras. Q ele continue te abençoando
Wait, this is Polish? Is your goal to write in every language of this world? As a fellow language lover musician, I'm in love with the diversity of your writings!
Absolutely beautiful as a whole. The revelation of the Pheonix was brilliantly placed. I also noticed that the constellations all fit with the theme of flight, even the ones that are only named ie Grus (the crane) and Corvus (the crow). Is there a translation of the words available? I don't even know which language it is.
Good catch, and you're right. The Polish translation is in the booklet to the album, which you can download here: www.christophertin.com/downloads/ToShivertheSky_DigitalBooklet.pdf.zip
@@christophertin this piece ticks all of my geek boxes. Apart from being beautiful, I am a musician so I loved the score unfolding, I am into science and am an amateur astronomer and took time in my youth to learn all of the constellations so to see them being revealed was WOW. I love thematic albums Alan Parsons is one of my favourites so to see the constellations revealed as all flying creatures (in line with your theme of flight) with no bears, serpents, dogs or scorpions and be able to recognise the arrangements of stars (even the ones only named) and see that the stars were the NOTES on the score had me over the moon so to speak.
420th like here, love your music dude, both Sogno di Volare and Baba Yetu are amazing, you really captured the human spirit in those! .....is Civ VII coming out? lmao
Copernicus would be proud. I felt so touched when I realized lyrics are in Polish
I still can't get over the fact your sheet music turned into astrological signs.
Constellations*
The world needs more of this. A marriage of art and music that reminds me of what we as humans can create.
Exactly. And listening to this while playing Stellaris was heavenly
Glory to God on High!
Lyrics in Polish
Astronomio, gwiezdna drogo,
Tyś jest matką wszelkiej wiedzy.
Choćby człowiek żył ubogo,
Jego domem kosmos świetny.
Nic czystszego ponad gwiazdy.
Sięgaj wyżej, gdy nad sobą
Przewspaniałe śledzisz
Widowisko.
Astronomio, piękne nieba
Ty poznajesz, masz za swoje.
Wobec twojej szlachetności
Bledną ziemskie niepokoje.
Patrząc w gwiazdy
widzisz dzieło
Boże.
Gwiazdy, księżyc, I planety.

When the sheet turns into constellations, my mind simply can't handle it for how beauty that is
very beauty much pog

Its beutifull. I touch my heart. I am Polish and I am organizer World Space Week Poland 2020. Thank you for this :)
I just can’t tell you, Chris, how much this new soundtrack has helped me during my personal crazy time of life. Thank you.
Hugs!
When the notes become stars. Beautiful!
Man i beg you to do more concerts with choir in europe.
Visually this is one of the most stunning things I've ever seen. The music was beautiful, but to see it brought to life like this left me in tears.
Brings a tear to the eye. How absolutely godly is this piece. X
What Carl Sagan put into words regarding the cosmos, you have put it into music.
Absolutely Beautiful. Makes me Wish to Gaze up at the Stars and See What Constellations I can Identify.
can't believe how under-rated this is. CHRIS, YOU'RE A LEGEND

I imagine this "soundtracking" my favourite sci-fi space movie that not exist yet.
I feel a bit late for the party, but this was a triple moment. First listening of this glorious music, then taken in by the sublime animation, which took me further into the score, and just when I had settled into that warm blanket, I found myself outside, under the stars. That transformation was just sublime. Now on second time around and loving it more. Thanks
One of the most creative video companions to such a beautiful piece of music!!
Mr Tin you are the coolest
Mesmerized by this composition and video, both as an astronomer and a fan of yours :-) Thanks !
Oh my oh my. Shivers down my spine. Thank you so so much.

Thanks for this song and for your albums.
That was so gorgeous! I was so emotionally moved watching the score, and when the Phoenix appeared I was openly weeping. 😭❤️
Is it a movie ? I mean the score
@@REDIUS999
A score can refer to either a soundtrack or a piece of sheet music showing a unified image of what is played during a piece.
Was out doing astronomy tonight. Good music for it.
No matter how much world is going crazier, the music will stand closely by our side as we have been so far. Indeed.
Hope this pandemic vanish in vain
Wow, one of the most beautiful score animations I've come across (even before the constellations!)
Astronomy and Astrology is one of my favorite subjects Awesome.
Sublime en toda la extensión de la palabra. Gracias Chris por regalarnos estos sonidos que entran por la piel a todos los rincones de nuestro ser. Gracias 💖🎶💓✨

Sublime in every sense of the word. Thank you Chris for giving us these sounds that enter every corner of our being through the skin. Thank you💖🎶👏✨
Absolutely Incredible. Thank you for your music.
3:54 the moment hit my shiver
I don't know what to say. It is magical, it is pure beauty *-*
First one here! I love the look and animation of the score (and constellations)! What a clever way to implement the stars into a piece of music!
This is just so beautiful, both the music and the animation!
Truly makes you feel like you are gazing up at the stars. Amazing work as always Mr.Tin! You're outstanding. Hope you do some more concerts as I'd drop a paycheck for that
I am lost for words; so beautiful.....THANK YOU CT!
Thank you for this, Chris...
This animation is unlike anything I have ever seen before. Both visuals & music are absolutely breathtaking
Just..... beautiful
I was thinking to myself that the music was good, but its really missing some vocals
but then right as i finished that thought, the vocals came in
which, im probably the only one, or at least one of few who got to experience and appreciate that timing, but it was a really nice touch

Mesmerisingly beautiful.

This is freakin magical

This is so beautiful. A homage to Kepler's "Harmonices Mundi".
Simply magnificant
Simply amazing!
Thanks for sharing. I got the opportunity to see a rocket launch in 2018. Amazing experience. I shared a pretty fun montage of the journey to my page.
omg that gave me chills..... you shivered the sky and me as well!
Oh por Dios, Maestro, Maestro. Tengo que ir a un concierto suyo algún día. Abrazo desde Colombia.
Christopher, I just love this work; really lovely melodies, counterpoint, instrumentation, and harmony. What I enjoy most is the well-crafted architecture, especially the way you managed to hit the Golden Ratio (K for Kopernikus!) at just the right moment. Was that intended? Well done!
Christopher Tin: solo un genio pudo descifrar de este modo! GENIO: soy tu Fan Nº 1!!!
This is just absolutely perfectly beautiful! So calming in this frenzied world! Thank you!🙏🏾

Descobri este "monstro sagrado" ontem, me inscrevi e não perco por nada; que maestria, coisa magnífica poder admirar esta obra prima!
