This video is an ode to humanity: a tribute to those who push us forward as a people. It's a reminder that we're capable of achieving great things: by leaning on the accomplishments of those who came before us, but also harnessing the passion, imagination, and determination of those who see great things ahead.
This new recording of 'Sogno di Volare' is performed by the Royal Opera Chorus, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and Anna Lapwood on organ. We recorded it at Abbey Road with William Spaulding conducting the ROC, and me conducting the RPO. I'm immensely excited about it, and I hope you all love it as well! It's the first track on my new album 'To Shiver the Sky', an oratorio about the history of humankind's quest to conquer the stars. Lyrics are an adaptation of Leonardo da Vinci's writings on flights, with help from my friend Chiara Cortez. The piece was originally composed as the theme song for the video game Civilization VI.

Lyrics:
Una volta che avrai
Spiccato il volo, deciderai
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai.
Prenderà il primo volo verso il sole il grande uccello
Sorvolando il grande Monte Ceceri
Riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria.
Una volta che avrai spiccato il volo,
Allora deciderai
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai.
L'uomo verrà portato dalla sua creazione
Come gli uccelli, verso il cielo...
Riempendo l'universo di stupore e gloria.
Gloria!
Once you have taken flight,
You'll decide
Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that
That is where your heart will feel at home.
The first great bird will take flight towards the sun,
Sweeping over the great Mt. Ceceri,
Filling the universe with wonder and glory.
Once you have taken flight
You'll decide
Gaze towards the sky, you'll know that
That is where your heart will feel at home.
Man will be lifted by his own creation,
Just like the birds, towards the sky,
Filling the universe with wonder and glory.
Glory!
