@Leganite I had to specify Civ VIII though, in Civ VII each civilisation has a unique great person unit, so no general Great Musician/Merchant/Scientist etc.
Baba Yetu = Religious Victory Terra Nova = Cultural Victory Sogno di Volare = Scientific Victory Live Gloriously = Domination Victory. Equal parts violent, mournful, and triumphant.
Terra Nova is more like about progress. thus, it's about the production. but they don't have production victory of course. if there is one, China is winning hard today. it's like 50% of the world's products, manufactured in China there.
Domination? Not at all! This song is about working hard to immortalise your name, to leave a footprint on the world. This is as just much cultural, religious and scientific in there. Does this not apply to the ancient Sumerians who gave us writing and law? And the Jewish people whose religious mythology has shaped two other great world religions? And the Greeks, whose culture we can not ignore when we talk about philosophy and politics? They have all struggled in their time and so cemented their place in the history books. There is only violence in there if your mind takes you to that place.
Lately, I had been questioning my decision of majoring in linguistics. I remember it now, it is because languages is not simply spoken words, it tells a whole history, and I LOVE IT. Thank You for this masterpiece
Language is the pathway to understanding, to know a person, people, and a culture. I frequently wish I had an ear for languages, but alas I'm limited to having one for accents.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Christopher Tin has been tasked with somehow creating a piece of music that captures the entire depth and breadth of the human endeavor, and somehow he's managed to accomplish that on _three_ separate occasions?
Christopher Tin was in Lithuania just last week! The live orchestra performance was truly an unforgettable once in a life time experience ❤Made us understand why Vilnius is a cultural city-state in Civ 6 😗
Lol no. Boris Slavov, Geoff Knorr, Inon Zur and Trevor Morris are way better than Tin. Tin manually reports Civ vids because using "his" music. He is an ahole
@@DBT1007The last good work of Zimmer's company was Interstellar (2014). Dune is also not bad, but that's all. And they have more than 100 composers who write music for Zimmer there (Remote Control Productions is the company name). I would replace it with John Williams.
I've seen several comments saying that Christopher Tin should be a great musician in Civilization VII, and I agree, because it's unbelievable how he never disappoints!
I love how this theme is switching to multiple languages from different civilizations as the song progresses, aligned with the new concept of the game in which you can switch to other civilizations as you progress through a new era.
Each of these Civ themes is very special to me. Baba Yetu painted an image of the early tribes of humanity, singing plaintively of hope for the future. Sogno di Volare conjured a scene with an early Renaissance scientist, like da Vinci, calling forth the age of reason and progress. This theme seems like a sequel, and warns of the duality of war, both glorious and terrible. I'm grateful to Christopher Tin and his team for creating these evocative musical masterworks.
The chills I got when I recognized the quotes from the Popol Vuh...what an awesome song. This is the first time for me hearing Mayan be used in a game's theme!
I'm so hyped for the game man. I've listened to the theme on repeat. The lyrics from Iliad, Beowulf, Popol Vuh and Ramayana in different languages gave chills! It's trying to convey the intended feel of the game: yes, there will be an end to my Civ and it will be replaced by something else but I will make sure to leave a mark!
need the arabic and chinese version to make it truly old. no need old English to be honest since it's fairly new. but sanskrit, greek, latin, Chinese(old ver), Arabic(old ver) are all old languages.
@@DBT1007 It's not just the age. Beowulf is an extremely influential text that resonates with western culture. I would have added something from the Old Testament, possibly.
Making songs in foreign or (near)extinct languages is one thing. Making one song using like 5 different ones? Christopher Tin just had to flex! Amazing stuff!
Did they just sing in k'iche? The multilingual nature of the song is brilliant, but that took me by surprise. My favorite part is the musicality that goes with the Beowulf pieces, though, like in 0:42. Absolute goosebumps.
Christopher Tin does it again. Truly a specatular piece with an uplifting and beautiful message that transcendes language, borders, and time itself. I did not think the Civilization music team could top Civ 6, from its main theme to the themes of esch civilization, but you guys once again prove me wrong once more. Hopefully we will see Roland Rizzo, Geoff Knorr and Christopher Tin as great musicians in this game. I am excited to see more!
Illiad? Okay that's pretty cool. Beowulf? Damn two languages in one, is it already "Chris"tmas? Oh wait, Popol Vuh?? What? Three? Stop Christopher you've hit gold! *Ramayana drops*, *prostrates before god of civ music*
The song starts: okey this is okey but it lack that special something of baba yetu and sogno di volare.......wait, WAIT, THERE IT IS LETS HUGGING GOOOOOO!!!!!!
The anticipation for this theme was very big, as the previous works in Baba Yetu and Sogno di Volare left the bar very high. Love it again and i can think of having it in the background running without getting tired of it or even pick it up to hear it alone. Another wonderful theme by master Tin
Usually they only play the main theme while you're in the menu, but I wouldn't mind this theme getting slotted into the rotation of tracks that play in-game.
I feel like each theme song from Christopher Tin just gets better and better. Love them all. And multilingual march was such a cool idea since it embodies domination victory for civ so well.
They're doing it again, aren't they? I'm crying again with one of Tin's pieces for Civ. Again believing that there is a chance for humanity to collaborate, to progress and to leave something of value for whoever comes next.
Keep the collab game after game! Mr Tin music is now such a defining part of the game in my opinion. The power his music brings in the context is insane
Amazing, Christopher Tin, you're a legend. I think it's not as "catchy" as the previous one, but this has a different sort of weight to it. Also love how the language changes and is inclusive.
I feel like this one brings a much different perspective with the struggle and pain humanity has faced through history getting us to where we are today. You’re so right about it carrying more weight even if the Civ6 theme is a little more upbeat and fun
Definitely some momento mori vibes to this theme - and the use of language highlights this. Also really enjoy how Tin uses new ideas in combination with old ideas towards the end of the piece to keep our ears wanting a little bit more, without making it feel like it comes out of the blue.
Baba Yetu - Religion Victory Sogno Di Volare - Science Victory Live Gloriously - War Victory. Hats off to you, Maestro Tin. You left me in awe once again. 🌍
I loved the theme when it was first revealed with the amazing teaser trailer. I had absolute goose bumps back then and I am so happy it's the main theme!
My absolute favorite thing about Christopher Tin, is he gets the base philosophy behind the civ games, and makes you FEEL it. Which is that despite the memes, the jokes and all the irony, there is something genuinely profound and poignant about building your civilization and trying to guide it through the world and through the different ages. I hope the gameplay can reflect that this time.

I didn't notice and wasnt expecting lyric switching from Greek to Old English to Maya to Sanskrit throughout this theme. It fits the concept of the game very well and the theme itself is glorious, but I didn't expected less from Maestro Tin.
@@yorusymfxni I don't know why people praise sogno di volare so much. It's shallow in comparison and even Christopher Tin isn't a fan of it himself lol
@@annaairahala9462 That makes total sense. I think it's still good don't get me wrong, but it's definitely more generic and less inspired than this and Baba Yetu.
Petition to make Chris a Great Musician in Civ VIII
YES! a great musician that spawns in the modern age!
@Leganite I had to specify Civ VIII though, in Civ VII each civilisation has a unique great person unit, so no general Great Musician/Merchant/Scientist etc.
I'm in
Civ7 won't have great musicians
@JhonPittsburg I mentioned it in a reply, which is why I specify later titles that might go back to the general great people system.
I almost lost my mind when they started singing in Old English.
A multilingual theme for a game like this is such a genius move.
What gets me is how seamless the transitions between languages are, Christopher Tin is a GENIUS
Cultural conglomerate on TOP.
0:42
I had the same reaction to the Mayan
What languages did you hear? I couldn't hear any difference
Baba Yetu = Religious Victory
Terra Nova = Cultural Victory
Sogno di Volare = Scientific Victory
Live Gloriously = Domination Victory. Equal parts violent, mournful, and triumphant.
Terra Nova is more like about progress. thus, it's about the production. but they don't have production victory of course.
if there is one, China is winning hard today. it's like 50% of the world's products, manufactured in China there.
@@DBT1007 science victory is essentially a production victory given it always involves producing the space program stuff as well as researching them
Domination? Not at all! This song is about working hard to immortalise your name, to leave a footprint on the world. This is as just much cultural, religious and scientific in there.

Baba Yetu is Cultural victory, it's one of the best songs ever!
@@declanashmore And so are the Romans... Well they did *dominate* the known world in their time and left a permanent mark in history too.
Let my undefended settler not die ingloriously and without a struggle
Real 🥲
Sometimes it feels like the random barbarian still using a musket in the modern era kinda deserves a theme like that too.
Lately, I had been questioning my decision of majoring in linguistics. I remember it now, it is because languages is not simply spoken words, it tells a whole history, and I LOVE IT.
Thank You for this masterpiece
That is true. And now, i have a reason to pursue linguistics as well, despite what others said
語言學真的是一們囊括多方面的學問
Me, wishing I'd picked that major many times.
Language is the pathway to understanding, to know a person, people, and a culture. I frequently wish I had an ear for languages, but alas I'm limited to having one for accents.
That hum session slaps. The singing in various languages is a sweet representation of what this game is all about man
I see what you did there. I agree it's bad compared to the previous ones and only nailed the same vibe in the humming part.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Christopher Tin has been tasked with somehow creating a piece of music that captures the entire depth and breadth of the human endeavor, and somehow he's managed to accomplish that on _three_ separate occasions?

Christopher is without a doubt one of the best composers in the industry
Not in the industry, but in history!
Lol no. Boris Slavov, Geoff Knorr, Inon Zur and Trevor Morris are way better than Tin. Tin manually reports Civ vids because using "his" music. He is an ahole
need to mix Hans Zimmer, Christopher Tin, and Hiroyuki Sawano in one big project. don't mix them. let them work on their own. but in one big project.

Real strategy requires cunning, and real civ music requires Christopher Tin
This might be the best Main Theme since Baba Yetu
Civ and Tin - name a more iconic duo.
Williams and Star Wars
Uematsu and Final Fantasy
Disney/Pixar and Michael Ginacchio
i can literally already see myself sitting in the menu setting up a game with this theme playing. its perfect
Making songs in foreign or (near)extinct languages is one thing. Making one song using like 5 different ones? Christopher Tin just had to flex! Amazing stuff!
Christopher Tin is amazing, how does he deliver such incredible music time after time
He has returned! Christopher Tin once again does an amazing job with the soundtrack.
An excellent addition to the Civilization musical canon. I hope to hear this many times as I open the game menu, and for it never to grow old.
Such a fire song 🔥🔥🔥
Whoever let Christopher Tin cook with this one deserves a raise.
I think that with Baba Yetu and Sogno di Volare already under his belt, everyone lets Christopher Tin cook.
Did they just sing in k'iche? The multilingual nature of the song is brilliant, but that took me by surprise. My favorite part is the musicality that goes with the Beowulf pieces, though, like in 0:42. Absolute goosebumps.
So It Shall Be!

The idea of making a song out of pieces of works in different languages with the same theme somewhat reminds me of "I Was Born For This" from Journey
I was thinking of the same thing.
Glad someone finally brought this up. 👏😇
I love how he incorporates languages spoken by different ancient civilizations into the lyrics
My hope has been restored again, as always Mr. Tin making art!✨
Never have I hit "add to favourites" for game theme before the game came out.
Illiad? Okay that's pretty cool. Beowulf? Damn two languages in one, is it already "Chris"tmas? Oh wait, Popol Vuh?? What? Three? Stop Christopher you've hit gold! *Ramayana drops*, *prostrates before god of civ music*
It did not expect to love the humming part most.
The song starts: okey this is okey but it lack that special something of baba yetu and sogno di volare.......wait, WAIT, THERE IT IS LETS HUGGING GOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm currently feeling dissatisfied and disappointed with many things in my life, but at least Christopher Tin never disappoints.

Christopher Tin has struck gold three times. This might be his best yet.
CHRISTOPHER TIN MY GOAT
soo beautifully incorporated the multilingual part, I had goose bumps throughout the whole song. a masterpiece
My goodness, this is certainly the best theme Tin has composed since *Baba Yetu*, and creatively speaking, this might just be his greatest work yet!
They're doing it again, aren't they? I'm crying again with one of Tin's pieces for Civ. Again believing that there is a chance for humanity to collaborate, to progress and to leave something of value for whoever comes next.
I love that the themes have so diferet concepts that it`s not a better or worst they just tell diferent sotries

Hats off to you, Maestro Tin. You left me in awe once again. 🌍
Got me crying at the chipotle on my lunch break. Chris went hard
Unexpectedly militaristic and even a little melancholic at times. A bold contrast to the typical Civ theme, but I like it!
This may actually be the best so far
Love the decision to take lines from various epic texts from around the world, really fitting for a game for all of civilization
This song shall not be lost.
god i love what is happening from 2:56 on
I loved the theme when it was first revealed with the amazing teaser trailer. I had absolute goose bumps back then and I am so happy it's the main theme!
Amazing to see these languages still being sung to this day, and for many to come
I am at a loss for words. This is incredible
this song is so good good, christopher tin FOREVER
My man has done it again. That is all I can say.
Absolute PEAK as always. We love you Christopher Tin
Gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye! Mr. Tin did it once again with a great anthem to humanity.
What a beautiful soundtrack! Can't wait for Civ 7
Honestly one of the best game composers ever, if not THE best ever. Brilliant work!
The Beowulf excerpt is splendid... Wow.
I don't think it's so catchy, but maybe I will get used to it. Opening Civ 6 hit different.
