And/or brings tears to your eyes. The whole purpose of music (and art in general) is to communicate and express not just an idea or a thought but an emotion or experience in a way that goes beyond words so that other people don't merely understand it intellectually but resonate with it almost viscerally. When a work of art inspires an emotional or even a physical reaction in someone (ideally, a reaction other than contempt!), it's done what it was designed to do -- and this piece has definitely done its job in terms of communicating the passage of time not only in terms of seasons but in terms of life as well as the apprehension which lurks beneath the awe we feel when we take time to consider the breadth of our individual experience.
It always reminds me of my mother telling me Japanese myths and fables when I was a child. The older I get, the more those memories seem to grow in vibrancy.
Mado Kara Mieru - Culture Victory Songo Di Volare - Scientific Victory Baba Yetu - Religious Victory Edit: also, can anyone else choreograph an entire Olympic opening ceremony to Christopher Tin’s music?
Actually he's been one of the most celebrated video game composers. And the only one to receive Grammy. So it's not that he's underappreciated. Well deserved I might say - in my book he's among the best. Few other composers can make me cry with just their music
@@HristoKolevMayvena I agree, there's only one composer alive I can think of that creates the same kind of feeling, and that's Karl Jenkins. (He wrote Adiemus, if you've not heard it, definitely worth a listen)
I’m in awe. Selecting haiku poems of the four seasons and enabling the listeners to view those scenes from a window frame is just a genius idea. The fact that you started from spring lyrics and finished in spring lyrics makes me think about the circulation of life and gives me a sense of Buddhism. You also inserted some words by a poet who eventually died from tuberculosis, wondering how many days are left for him, and it makes the peak of the song so powerful.
I hadn't heard of Christopher Tin until just now, despite hearing his work in the past. But boarding the Civ 6 hype train caused me to do some searching for the music, and Here I am. Best musical discovery in a long time.
Christopher Tin, you sir are what makes the gaming industry thrive. You deserve way more recognition and acknowledgement for the way you make people live through games or a story sung in words. Respect and keep that gift you have going!
Sogno di Volare brought me to this channel, and it was one of the best things that could ever happen. One day, when the world is united, Christopher Tin will compose the anthem of humanity!
After listening to this song, I simply stood there in awe for a minute or two. .....then I instantly scrolled down into the comments section- *_BUT STILL._*
it's been years since i last heard this, and it's just as fantastic. you know a song's good when you remember it despite not hearing it for such a long time
The part of winter... Such a solemn sound. Every season in this song, really makes you feel. You could close your eyes and feel the melody, you'd visualize the scenery of this masterpiece. The japanese haikus spanning across time, such a marvelous harmony. True God of Music, Orchestra and Harmony, He's Christopher Tin.
At least for me, there is an incredible amount of depth and significance in this piece. It speaks not just of the cycle of the seasons but of the cycle of life and the vital importance of appreciating whatever moments of beauty we can find in it however fleeting -- because as the lyrics point out, our lives in the scheme of things are all too short and none of us know for certain how much time we might have left.
Christopher Tin, you make music that truly breaks the language barrier and reaches a person's soul. Your music makes my skin crawl every time, awesome!
The way this song is composed and put together is absolute genius. The fact that it can convey the themes of the song to people who don't even understand the language is a testament to the universal power of music.
Holy crap I get instant chills as soon as the vocal kicks in... and the chills doesn't let up until the end of the video. Kudos, man. Now I know you make beautiful stuff--though, I wish I knew you sooner!
Every now and then, I always come back to this beautiful piece and listen to its poetic verses. Thank you, Mr. Tin. Art really does make living worth the while.
Hello Christopher, I´ve heared your music (calling all dawns) first time here in germany: You´ve such a big musical synphonical backround in your compositions - wow - it was so amazing hearing your compositions. Great job .- it was a big pleasure to listen to that fantastic music and to your great work!! Martin Falk
J'adore cette langue qu'est le Japonnais, en association avec votre talent musicale... je m'emporte dans ce délice auditif... [ cela m'a fait penser à la musique originale du manga "Origine" (Titre original: "Gin-Iro No Kami No Agito") ]. J'espère que vous n'allez pas vous arrêter en si bon chemin.. et j'ai l'espoir d'arriver à vous voir dans une de vos représentations.
I've been a fan of yours for years and I was appalled to stumble upon this very song as Japanese Poetry is one of my greatest interests and I had never heard of this song until this week. The choice of poems and singers and how they are set as well as the pacing and subtle use of traditional instruments (if I am right) makes me wonder this might be my favorite composition of yours. Please, continue to gift us with the wonders of your creation.
Gorgeous. Una sinfonía a las estaciones del año, una meditación hermosa llena de paz, melancolía y paisajes que se dibujan en la mente. Bravo por este señor, un auténtico genio de nuestros tiempos.
thank you Christopher, sublime poetic text that rises like a fighting wind towards the storm. The singing is soft in contrast to the thunderous sound reminiscent of an epic fight
As a profound admirer of the resilient human spirit that is always pushing our world towards glory against the odds, we have to thank Christopher for captivating this human spirit in this work. Truly inspiring
Been on a journey to find songs that deeply touch my heart. Came across christopher tin and this song as well as baba yetu . Cried like a baby from line one. Thank you for your work
I remember listening to this as a kid. My sister showed it to me and I fell in love with it. It is such an amazing piece from beginning to end. Back in 2015 this song is what inspired me to learn Japanese in High School. Though much I forgot. Still, this is an amazing song every time I listen I always feel goosebumps. Especially at the part at 1:56 AMAZING
This has been an immensely memorable (and now nostalgic) song since I was literally like, 10, looking up AMVs on an obscure kids website where someone used this one time- it's stuck with me this whole time and i'm back here today cause I remembered I wanted to listen to it... Amazing work!
I've only recently discovered Christopher Tin's music, and it has a very unique charm. He manages to capture the spirit of the language and culture represented in the music. It's a cosmopolitan gift: the music is truly fitting.
Hermosa Canción del ciclo de la Vida... Se le da importancia a cada etapa... Cuanto arte y Belleza... ¡Dios es el Arte & El arte es Dios!... todo perfecto en Él...Dios los Bendiga. que Dios te siga usando Christopher Tin gran talento que Dios te dio. Gracias por compartir con cada uno de tus canciones.
I'm guessing you loved Pure Moods back in the day too, huh? I know you read these from time to time. Who wouldn't? :) Bless you. May your next album bring the same joy as finally finishing your First masterpiece. We all agree, you deserve our love and fanship. Youre sharing your soul through these compositions... And it's brave. :) Good fortune Always follows the brave.

Christopher Tin needs more recognition
This comment needs more recognition
Well, he is going to be in Civ 6, so that's a bit more. Firaxis loves him.
no, we need more music :D
P.S. subbed ,)
He should get a contract for a movie already!
Thedutchjelle But nobody knows who he is!!!
You know a music track is a masterpiece when, no matter how many times you hear it, it sends you chills down your spine.
E V E R Y time!!! Chills and tears , and I always lose it at minute 2:20 , it’s too beautiful!!

Mado Kara Mieru - Culture Victory
Songo Di Volare - Scientific Victory
Baba Yetu - Religious Victory
Edit: also, can anyone else choreograph an entire Olympic opening ceremony to Christopher Tin’s music?
That would be so epic
You say that because Japan already get the Culture Victory xd, i just can't stop seing anime everywhere
I haven't heard this in YEARS since i was a kid so the fact that my brain suddenly remembered it really shows how music sticks with you
for me you are the best musican to our generation
I'm honored!
:)

Christopher Tin gets nowhere near the appreciation that he deserves.
Nunya Bidness YESSSSSSS I KNOWWWW, he deserves way more
Well, he did win a Grammy. You may have heard of it.
Actually he's been one of the most celebrated video game composers. And the only one to receive Grammy. So it's not that he's underappreciated. Well deserved I might say - in my book he's among the best. Few other composers can make me cry with just their music
@@HristoKolevMayvena I agree, there's only one composer alive I can think of that creates the same kind of feeling, and that's Karl Jenkins. (He wrote Adiemus, if you've not heard it, definitely worth a listen)
His works are true art, unlike popular mainstream songs nowadays.
I just realized that Baba Yetu contains a part of Mado Kara Mieru.
Really ? Where ?
@@keffkeff160 using a timestap based on the version on Chistopher Tin's channel I think they're referring to the instrumental bit around 2:10?
Yep its called a Leitmotif
He used that motiv in at least one other piece as well. You can hear it in Hayom Kadosh at 1:13
if you listen to the whole album, they are connected and circling.
who needs anime openings when you have this masterpiece
Sogno di Volare from Civilization Vi brought me here. I'm glad it did!
Mine was Baba Yetu.
Realism invictus mod brought me here
It has that feeling of inevitability and finality to it. Sounds like something that would play before a battle that decides the fate of the world.
The autumn and winter haikus do.
But by the end, the finality is gone. The cycle of life has begun again...
I’m in awe. Selecting haiku poems of the four seasons and enabling the listeners to view those scenes from a window frame is just a genius idea. The fact that you started from spring lyrics and finished in spring lyrics makes me think about the circulation of life and gives me a sense of Buddhism. You also inserted some words by a poet who eventually died from tuberculosis, wondering how many days are left for him, and it makes the peak of the song so powerful.
You’re a person who appreciates poetry! Wonderful.
Who was that poet? I need to know 🥰
I already heard it like 20+ times and still tears in my eyes every time I listen to it. Insanely touching.
Its such a powerful song, managing to capture all of the various states of life in a single verse.
Epic song of course, but tears?
just feel it
Yes, tears....not everybody is sooo hard like you..hero
why you cry if you do not understand it
Christopher Tin is so under rated he literally is so talented like the music just takes you to a different world. It’s so amazing
japanese skater mao shimada will skate to this music in her free program!
I love this song🇯🇵
Christopher Tin has understood “Fuuryu(風流)”👍
So
the youth=Summer
Autumn= old age
Winter= death
Spring= rebirth.
What a beautiful song.
None age
病に臥せった人が窓から見える四季をもとに記憶や想いを巡らせる、素敵な歌
最後にまた春を迎えているから、一番辛そうにしている冬の山場を乗り越えたのだろう
The wonderful oboe leitmotiv shared with Baba Yetu - I'm crying
japanese lyrics
窓から見える 輝く 梅 一輪
一輪程の その 暖かさ
窓から見える 眩しい 目には 青葉
山不如帰 ああ、初鰹
窓から見える 爽やか 秋風の
山を廻るや あの 鐘の声
余命 幾許か 有る
余命 幾許か 有る
幾許か 有る
今宵は 哀し
命短し
余命 幾許か 有る
窓から見える 冷えた 雪の 家に
寝ている と 思う

After everything goes to sleep during winter when it wakes up and blossoms again, the music is so beautiful
i’m Japanese. I'm so glad to have met beautiful music. Traditional and very wonderful words. thank you.
Even after 8 years, this song still gives me satisfaction in my heart. The whole album is a masterpiece!
12 years 2024
Probably my favorite track from Calling All Dawns... and that's some tough competition.
Came back again to comment, this tune is still incredible. Would love to spend a day in the corner of the studio with Christopher Tin!
this is some 10/10 90s OVA/early 2010's visual novel aesthetic right here
It was partially inspired by anime!
@@christophertin any in particular?
@@christophertin It actually made me go back and listen to some songs from the Gundam Seed OST!
11 years ago? And I find this masterpiece only now?? Can’t stop listening ❤
i dont know why but i cried at the end of the song
Me too, multiple times.
Because it's beautiful, simply.
it's been years since i last heard this, and it's just as fantastic. you know a song's good when you remember it despite not hearing it for such a long time
It looks so cool that shade of the pause button is slightly off-centered & makes it look like an imperfect eclipse!
The part of winter... Such a solemn sound. Every season in this song, really makes you feel. You could close your eyes and feel the melody, you'd visualize the scenery of this masterpiece. The japanese haikus spanning across time, such a marvelous harmony.
True God of Music,
Orchestra and Harmony,
He's Christopher Tin.
always coming back to your work, no matter how many years it's been
i don't think i will ever stop coming back here once in a while to listen to this masterpiece. this is pure art.
The most chilling is when everyone's singing together and the voices spreads out loud.
odlično. obožavam ovakvu tavar
This is one of the very few songs that were able to bring tears to my eyes.
I have no words to Express my admiration for christopher tin, but I wanted it stated nontheless
This is actually amazing
Why do I feel a sense of nostalgia, even though it's my first time listening
Man, all of your music is so evocative of the human spirit. Especially this album. Thank you, Mr. Tin.

Gorgeous piece of music honestly gives you goosebumps. I hear a very strong Thomas Newman influence in the music, it's lovely the way it's used.
same. I wonder if the tone was the 3rd one?
Every now and then, I always come back to this beautiful piece and listen to its poetic verses.
Thank you, Mr. Tin. Art really does make living worth the while.
Hello Christopher,
I´ve heared your music (calling all dawns) first time here in germany:
You´ve such a big musical synphonical backround in your compositions - wow - it was so amazing hearing your compositions.
Great job .- it was a big pleasure to listen to that fantastic music and to your great work!!
Martin Falk
The motif which this song was based on was so good... this is definitely my top favorite song on the entire cycle!
鳥肌立った（goosebumps）ので買いました！
Japanese is such a beautiful language.
Daniel Bartleson I think so, I think all of languages are some sort of art. I think...
Um... German?
German is for the art of science. It's very flexible yet structured at the same time.
Every song with a kid voice is freakin awesome, zero doubt about that.
weeb
This music and singing is meaningful, creative and needs to go big time.

Chistopher Tin comprend le français ?! ou alors il a juste traduit ..
When someone asks me about the most beautiful song I have ever heard, this is what comes to my mind.
That song is such an exemple of perfection...
Shivers all over, like with so many of his songs
Amo o trabalho e a sensibilidade do Christopher Tin.❤

the beauty of these poems is to see the greatness and beauty in the common, mundane things, to see wonders in your normal life
One of the few songs that has brought tears to my eyes in the first listening. What a masterpiece.
I don't understand this having only 1.1 million views after all this time.
Mr Tin, this is brilliant.
How does this man always make such powerful compassionate and bone thrilling music. Baba Yetu and Mado Kara Mieru are my absolute favorites!
Christopher Tin you are the most talented composer in the world, i love your all songs dude...
I´ve just few at most a hand full of idols, and one of them is Christopher Tin. Just wanna give you my deepest appreciation to your work.

This masterpiece is best suited to be played when mankind start colonising Mars, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, and beyond.
I couldn't help but sing along to this. 😍

Do not mistake blessings for an easy life. We are never promised that our service will give us an easy path in life.
I just foundd out the woman from the summer verse is the same one who sang the opening to Clannad After Story :')
ARE YOU..OMG I FUCKIG LOVER HER VOICE!I KNEW IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR
Also, two of those women (at least one of which also did Clannad After Story) also did several themes in Angel Beats.
Yeah, and the other one also did "Wo Qui Non Coin" from Cowboy Bebop.
sometimes you wish you could like something twice....or trice
