I went for a walk at my city's center yesterday. A street artist was playing a familiar tune on his instrument - imagine my surprise when I figured out it was this theme!
I recently played a domination game. One of the civs was Arabia. Saladin was friendly, generous with his trades, and we even formed a temporary alliance against Rome. Unfortunately, I had to finish him before turning my attention to my next conquest. There's a reason I rarely play domination games. One of the eeriest moments I've had while playing a game was having his theme play after I had conquered his lands. It felt like the anthem of a dead civilization haunting me and reminding me of the glory and culture I snuffed out. It was warning me to end my ceaseless campaign. To not make the same mistake again.

What a formidable piece. You have to appreciate the culmination of different cultural Influences contained within this composition 1/3 or the way through... You should get in touch with Trevor Morris the composer of Vikings soundtrack.
though Arabs, Turks and Persians have lots of differences with the Russians, they also have many similarities. (This believe it or not would would actually strengthen the Turkish point of the song being theirs because the turkic tribes at one point owned the south part of modern day Russia. naturally Russia got influenced by these turkic tribes. in fact there is a famous line made by some historian saying the head of Kievan Rus would have been Muslim.....if Islam didn't ban alcohol
Isn't that Russian Empire later conquered either former Turkish, Schytians, or Persian domains? Russia is vast not because of its origin points, but because of Tsar Pyotr's campaign towards the way out to sea, to the south he brought his Enlightenment Era army against Muslim Khanates (after Ivan finished off Kazan some centuries ago) that still used horse archers and Janissaries. To the North, against dreaded Swedes Caroleans and Hakapellitas. and later he built St. Petersburg as his port city to the North Sea.
I come here to enjoy the song as it reminded me of the first time I heard it (Ra Ra Rasputin) and when I thought the comments could be a joyful moment, it's a culture war.

During 1853-1856 Crimean War, Florance Nighthingale was in Istanbul with British,French and Turk soldier to help them as a nurse. She had visited many times in Uskudar and wrote a letter about Uskudar to her relavites. This aspect of her isn't known. Meanwhile, Scottish soldiers were playing bagpipe and dancing at there. As a result İstanbul people were mocking them and one minstrel who was living in Üsküdar wrote song lyrics for them. At that years, everybody had always sung this song and it's forgotten until at beginning of 1900s. In that year, an English ship came to Karaköy harbor and all big sandboxes were discharged from the ship.There are table clocks in them and these clocks are playing a song every hour. One of these songs is the anthem of the Scottish soldiers who came here during Crimean War and "Üskudar'a giderken" which all of Turks know very well.
As a muslim arab, I do not care whether Saladin was a Turk, Kurdish or Arab nor do I care about where this music originated from. All I know is 2 things: One is that Saladin was a great muslim leader and many of our current leaders should follow his example And two is that this is one fucking awesome song
Selahattin is a great Islamic leader who grew up in the Zengi state, a Turkish state, feels Turkish, and has Arab or Kurdish origins, but what matters is not where her parents are from, but how she feels.
This song is just an example of what musicology call "timbre". The same melody within a large geographical and culture shared area used for different songs/poems. You could see the same thing with old western or eastern europe songs too...

Pyrrhus Nikomedes actually those cities were wayyy before Persia and Romans get your facts right. Those lands were not ruled by any nation only by little Arab tribes the First Nation to hold the land there was the Nation of Islam ( Umayyads ) the Persians tried to take it but Islamic groups annexed them and turned the region of Persia Islamic ( Persia were the aggressors ) then when the Umayyads collapsed the Nation of Nejd came, now a days ( Saudi Arabia ) but the ottomans took control of Anatolia, Middle East, Causcus region and the Balkans. Byzantine ( East Roman Empire ) was Annexed by Ottomans then. Point is Persia and the Byzantine Empire never even touched the Middle East am the whole Roman Empire didn’t control all of the Middle East.
@@nomineterrameareligionis4021 You mean, Carthage? It wasn't an Arab city, that`s for sure. The city itself was destroyed during the Islamic conquest of Hassan Ibn al Numan in 698 C.E. The Romans conquered Carthage before the Arabs, from the Phoenicians, and rebuilt and improved the city. They basically improved everything they touched, unlike the Arabs. Under the Romans/Byzantines, It became one of the most important cities in the world at the time. It even pass Roma itself as a city and had a population in the hundreds of thousands. Yes, Carthage was a Roman city and the Italians and Greeks have more of a claim on it than the Muslims/Arabs do, that's for sure. You claim I need a job, I say you need to read more...

@@murtadhaalkenani3876 there is no conception about islamic music friend, moreover music is said almost haram. There are cultures which exhibit their cultural heritages. It is not a fitnah to say this song is owned by Ottoman Empire. You said the composer is unknown but we know lots information about it which this song is named "Katibim".
The music is an Otomano-Turkish song (and also an Istanbul folktale i guess, it has many rumors about its origin-so not certain) "Üsküdar'a Giderken" aka "Katibim". It has many different variations. Here is one with a vocal: th-cam.com/video/SymcEAeYGOw/w-d-xo.html
This is an actual song, not just "Arabia theme". We have folk song in some South European countries with this tune, bit was brought by Ottomans during their reign and occupation of our lands. We cool Turks, that happen long time ago. Anyway, love the Arabia in this game, they offer very unique feature of being able to play with faith and science, most games you're really not able, you have to go either faith or science because they are on different tree path, but Arabia's UA and UB kinda let you get away with it. That UB university is pretty strong, and their UA basically ensures you'll have religion regardless, so you can just rush for campus. Also their UU are quite nuts if you decide to "spread" Islam in Medieval era. They are beast if you know how to keep them alive.
Yeah, the majority of songs in the game are inspired by real music from those nations, here are the ones I remember: Brazil - Brejeiro Portugal - Fado Menor Australia - Waltzing Matilda
"Kâtibim" ("my clerk"), or "Üsküdar'a Gider İken" ("while going to Üsküdar") is a Turkish folk song about someone's clerk (kâtip) as they travel to Üsküdar. The tune is a famous Istanbul türkü, which is spread beyond Turkey in many countries, especially in the Balkans. Dimitri Kantemiroğlu (26 October 1673 - 1723) compiled as Madre de la gracia (I. Levy III.29) in Istanbul. It is an Istanbul folk song. No matter what country made it, I believe that music is universal!
İn comments who says this is our music , just search okay. İn the wikipeadia it say; "A notable recording is that by Safiye Ayla from 1949.[4] During the time of recording, Ayla was also a member of the assembly at the Istanbul City Conservatory.[5] Classical composer Saygun included 'Variations on the Old Istanbul Folk Song Katibim (Varyasyonlar)' as the last part of his choral Op.22 Bir Tutam Kekik of 1943. Similar compositions of Ayla's "Kâtibim" have followed it, including: With lyrics, and incorporating an English adaptation by Stella Lee, in 1953 the song was recorded in the USA as "Uska Dara - A Turkish Tale / Two Lovers" by Eydie Gormé[6] and Eartha Kitt.[7] The interpretation of the internationally known vocal star Eartha Kitt, accompanied by an instrumental set, could be based on that of Safiye Ayla."
@@akramcharif9755He is saying that this song is part of Turkish culture and don't mistake our culture with Arabic culture. It is disrespecting to our culture.
Okay guys it really makes me upset to see you guys over thing you don't know about. So let me help you 1-)He could be Turkish, Kurdish or even Egyptian. But in fact he was Saracen! And Saracens are one of the Arab tribes. Actually he's real nationally is still unknown but probably civ devs considered him as Arab because of this. 2-)Music.. oh i hate when people argue about this song! Okay now check this out, Arabia was ruled by Ottoman empire for like 400 years right? So that means both cultures were mixed even their songs, melodies and notes. It's not Arabic nor Turkish it's an Ottoman song and both cultures have credits. Everyone especially 2 people down there keeps spamming links to their own version. I say fuck off to both of them. But if you really really want to choose sides. Just type Arabic name ''Talama Ashku Gharami wiki '' to google and it will lead you to Turkish version katibim. TH-cam videos are nothing. You guys should stop being warmongers and focus on research a little bit then you will see. 3-)Non arabic capital. No one cares i believe it was just one comment. Not a big deal. 4-)Non arabic unit. Yes memluks were Memluks ,Ayyubis And Saracens Unit. but once again they are considered as arabic tribes. Even Salahaddin's surname is Ayyub. It means Salahaddin of ayyubies. Enough history lesson i should get back to civ and get denounced by every nation except my buddy Gilgamesh. I love that guy. True ally. Love ya all don't fight enjoy the music
Saracen is not an Arabic tribe, it was the west's term for muslims, as Muslim is itself an Arabic word. And it has been determined by many neutral historians and anthropologists that he was Kurdish in origin.
@Hassan A Saladin was Part Kurdish, that's true. But, He spoke not a word of Kurdish, He spoke and wrote in Arabic. He dressed like and Arab, Married an Arab, and ruled over Arabs. He lived most of his life in Damascus.. I'm sure.. then moved to Cairo then back to Damascus.

Turks and Arabs fighting over the origin of the music me listening to it as a muslim : amatures edit: Neither the caliphates claimed themselves as an arab empire nor the turks claimed the ottomon empire as a turkish empire but both claimed to be a muslim empire and nationality is a pretty recent phenomena (nationality- people taking pride of the borders which the european colonizers drew and left)
Arguing about the origin of this song is no different than asking questions like: 'which coffee is superior: turkish or greek' 'who does baklava belong to' 'who does Cyprus belong to' etc. There is no right answer or winner here lmao
Coffee came to the ottoman court via the vilayet of Yemen, so that's not tottaly right, also cbaklava is clearly turkish, apart from that you're right.

My dad is from Syria and insists this is from Aleppo aaand based on an old song from Al Andalus. The writer of the song is Mohammed El Bakkar which definitely doesn't sound Turkish to me
The song has a different version in each region..... Why the F**** are we fighting over a song. I believe that this song was written in different version because we were united and now look at us blaming each others. our world is so missed up.
This music is actually Turkish music and even Üsküdar is a district of Istanbul. However, it is not a problem for them to use this music with Saladin, an important Muslim personality.

During 1853-1856 Crimean War, Florance Nighthingale was in Istanbul with British,French and Turk soldier to help them as a nurse. She had visited many times in Uskudar and wrote a letter about Uskudar to her relavites. This aspect of her isn't known. Meanwhile, Scottish soldiers were playing bagpipe and dancing at there. As a result İstanbul people were mocking them and one minstrel who was living in Üsküdar wrote song lyrics for them. At that years, everybody had always sung this song and it's forgotten until at beginning of 1900s. In that year, an English ship came to Karaköy harbor and all big sandboxes were discharged from the ship.There are table clocks in them and these clocks are playing a song every hour. One of these songs is the anthem of the Scottish soldiers who came here during Crimean War and "Üskudar'a giderken" which all of Turks know very well.
Ömer Elaldı This song is Abbasid
As a muslim arab, I do not care whether Saladin was a Turk, Kurdish or Arab nor do I care about where this music originated from.
All I know is 2 things:
One is that Saladin was a great muslim leader and many of our current leaders should follow his example
And two is that this is one fucking awesome song
Selahattin is a great Islamic leader who grew up in the Zengi state, a Turkish state, feels Turkish, and has Arab or Kurdish origins, but what matters is not where her parents are from, but how she feels.
@Abdul Rahman Mohammed Well, Richard the Lionheart admired him. Lots of European leaders did in fact.
The power of marketing! :P
Couldn't agree more. Saladin was truly a remarkable man and was one of histories most memorable. And this theme suits him perfectly
If "muslim arab", don't use bad language.
This music is Rasputin! By boney. M
This song is just an example of what musicology call "timbre". The same melody within a large geographical and culture shared area used for different songs/poems.
You could see the same thing with old western or eastern europe songs too...

Pyrrhus Nikomedes actually those cities were wayyy before Persia and Romans get your facts right.
Those lands were not ruled by any nation only by little Arab tribes the First Nation to hold the land there was the Nation of Islam ( Umayyads ) the Persians tried to take it but Islamic groups annexed them and turned the region of Persia Islamic ( Persia were the aggressors ) then when the Umayyads collapsed the Nation of Nejd came, now a days ( Saudi Arabia ) but the ottomans took control of Anatolia, Middle East, Causcus region and the Balkans.
Byzantine ( East Roman Empire ) was Annexed by Ottomans then. Point is Persia and the Byzantine Empire never even touched the Middle East am the whole Roman Empire didn’t control all of the Middle East.

Under the Romans/Byzantines, It became one of the most important cities in the world at the time. It even pass Roma itself as a city and had a population in the hundreds of thousands. Yes, Carthage was a Roman city and the Italians and Greeks have more of a claim on it than the Muslims/Arabs do, that's for sure. You claim I need a job, I say you need to read more...

The music is an Otomano-Turkish song (and also an Istanbul folktale i guess, it has many rumors about its origin-so not certain) "Üsküdar'a Giderken" aka "Katibim". It has many different variations.
Here is one with a vocal: th-cam.com/video/SymcEAeYGOw/w-d-xo.html
This song is based of a ancient Arabic poem
This is an actual song, not just "Arabia theme". We have folk song in some South European countries with this tune, bit was brought by Ottomans during their reign and occupation of our lands. We cool Turks, that happen long time ago.
Anyway, love the Arabia in this game, they offer very unique feature of being able to play with faith and science, most games you're really not able, you have to go either faith or science because they are on different tree path, but Arabia's UA and UB kinda let you get away with it. That UB university is pretty strong, and their UA basically ensures you'll have religion regardless, so you can just rush for campus. Also their UU are quite nuts if you decide to "spread" Islam in Medieval era. They are beast if you know how to keep them alive.

@@damandarin5415 Üsküdar'a gider iken
"Kâtibim" ("my clerk"), or "Üsküdar'a Gider İken" ("while going to Üsküdar") is a Turkish folk song about someone's clerk (kâtip) as they travel to Üsküdar. The tune is a famous Istanbul türkü, which is spread beyond Turkey in many countries, especially in the Balkans. Dimitri Kantemiroğlu (26 October 1673 - 1723) compiled as Madre de la gracia (I. Levy III.29) in Istanbul. It is an Istanbul folk song. No matter what country made it, I believe that music is universal!
İn comments who says this is our music , just search okay. İn the wikipeadia it say;
"A notable recording is that by Safiye Ayla from 1949.[4] During the time of recording, Ayla was also a member of the assembly at the Istanbul City Conservatory.[5] Classical composer Saygun included 'Variations on the Old Istanbul Folk Song Katibim (Varyasyonlar)' as the last part of his choral Op.22 Bir Tutam Kekik of 1943. Similar compositions of Ayla's "Kâtibim" have followed it, including:
With lyrics, and incorporating an English adaptation by Stella Lee, in 1953 the song was recorded in the USA as "Uska Dara - A Turkish Tale / Two Lovers" by Eydie Gormé[6] and Eartha Kitt.[7] The interpretation of the internationally known vocal star Eartha Kitt, accompanied by an instrumental set, could be based on that of Safiye Ayla."

Okay guys it really makes me upset to see you guys over thing you don't know about. So let me help you
1-)He could be Turkish, Kurdish or even Egyptian. But in fact he was Saracen! And Saracens are one of the Arab tribes. Actually he's real nationally is still unknown but probably civ devs considered him as Arab because of this.
2-)Music.. oh i hate when people argue about this song! Okay now check this out, Arabia was ruled by Ottoman empire for like 400 years right? So that means both cultures were mixed even their songs, melodies and notes. It's not Arabic nor Turkish it's an Ottoman song and both cultures have credits. Everyone especially 2 people down there keeps spamming links to their own version. I say fuck off to both of them. But if you really really want to choose sides. Just type Arabic name ''Talama Ashku Gharami wiki '' to google and it will lead you to Turkish version katibim. TH-cam videos are nothing. You guys should stop being warmongers and focus on research a little bit then you will see.
3-)Non arabic capital. No one cares i believe it was just one comment. Not a big deal.
4-)Non arabic unit. Yes memluks were Memluks ,Ayyubis And Saracens Unit. but once again they are considered as arabic tribes. Even Salahaddin's surname is Ayyub. It means Salahaddin of ayyubies.
Enough history lesson i should get back to civ and get denounced by every nation except my buddy Gilgamesh. I love that guy. True ally.

Saracen is not an Arabic tribe, it was the west's term for muslims, as Muslim is itself an Arabic word. And it has been determined by many neutral historians and anthropologists that he was Kurdish in origin.
