Christopher Tin - Sogno di Volare ("The Dream of Flight") (Civilization VI Main Theme)

[@christophertin]

Thank you all for your comments and love! Your support means the world to me. I’m currently writing a NEW album based on “Sogno di Volare” and taking my fans on a journey through the creative process. Visit christophertin.com/albums/toshiverthesky.html for more info, and to pick up some leftover rewards from my Kickstarter campaign (including handwritten scores, studio visits to Abbey Road and more). PS: ‘To Shiver the Sky’ set the world record for the highest funded classical music Kickstarter ever!

Friends, listen to this: Leonardo was famous for taking notes of everything. He recorded a visit to the hospital and every broken bone and bruise he had suffered, allegedly from falling out of a window. However an English doctor recently reviewed the description and he believes it is not compatible with a vertical fall....but with a fall from an impact with the ground from angle of less that 45 degrees. At that time Leonardo and his assistant were testing his glider. Guess where? On Monte Ceceri. Nothing will ever convince me otherwise: Leonardo must have tried himself, and he DID FLY. That is how he knew. That is why he wrote these words.

[@kakaquintiliano]

First human to fly! He got a piece of Eden.

@laflugantabastardo uh

[@szecsisandor1843]

Well actually it wasn't Leonardo, but his assistant, Tomasso Masini who bruised himself testing Leonardo's flying device. In his Codex on the Flight of Birds, Leonardo mentions that Tomasso piloted the device, took off from Monte Ceceri, glided on a distance of 1.000 metres, fell and broke a leg and severeal ribs. He survived and managed to recover in just a few months.

[@IroAppe]

It's just something different entirely. It's not (usually) something you play in your everyday life and just continue. You can't help feeling something, and stop for a moment, if it's only for a moment. You use this to get into another state of mind. Reinvigorate is the word that comes to mind. That doesn't only count for it, there are a number of tracks that are like this. I also had a time when I thought: That's the greatest ever. Now I know, there are a number of tracks that trigger this motion in my heart. But that's only more treasure to the world. For music, there are different styles for different purposes, different moments, different goals. Those people who have realized this, have figured out a true wealth for their life.

I always found it so wild and moving that Da Vinci wrote a song about humanity achieving flight after he and the other greatest minds of the time couldn't achieve it.

The most beautiful thing is that it is due to dreamers like da Vinci having the dream in the first place and writing about it, designing it, even if he was so far from the mark, that people like the Wright brothers were able to realize the concept in reality. A dream sets a plan in motion, maybe it won't become real in your lifetime, but someday someone will share your passion and make it so. That's what I believe.

Baba Yetu's lyrics are a Christian prayer translated into Swahili and Christianity is the cancer of Mankind.

Hi Christopher. I am now 32 years old and I have played MANY videogames throughout my life.

If I ever hear anyone saying they don't like modern classical music, I simply play this. It's a tragedy that modern classical is overlooked by many, because to my mind, if Christopher Tin had written choral music of this standard several hundred years ago, he'd be held in the same esteem as household names like Brahms (my personal favourite) and Beethoven. That's not an exaggeration, this is a truly magnificent piece of music from an amazing composer; I fear that it's only a level of snobbery within some musical circles that keeps modern composers from getting the wider recognition they absolutely deserve.

[@slinky6481]

@@stefanie_blueberry1350 Humans are superior to animals. "Anthropocentrism" is something I'd highly promote, in fact. If humans are no better than animals, which live in a perpetual absence of ethics or reason, then it will stand to reason that humans have no need for neither ethics nor reason. It's a self-defeating philosophy; if you believe that humans have an ethical obligation to give equality to animals, then I hate to break it to you, but you DO, in fact, believe that humans are superior. Don't get me wrong, I believe that we have an ethical obligation to treat animals fairly (but not equally), precisely because I am an Anthropocentrist. Lowering humans to the level of animals is a terrible thing to do. Such thinking can easily lead to things like genocide and slavery, because if any action carried out by an animal is neither good nor evil, then the rule must apply to humans also, and therefore anything we do is simply a force of nature rather than our free agency. This kind of thinking is incompatible with human society, which must necessarily have a system of ethics to even exist. Humanity is at its best when it reaches for that which is alien to the natural world - forgiveness, mercy, charity, and sacrifice. It is at its worst when it succumbs to revenge, murder, greed, and carnality, all of which our most base instincts drive us towards. We are creatures of the spirit, not of the flesh. To focus solely on the flesh is to neglect the spirit, without which we are nothing more than the most brutal of mindless beasts, enslaved to our own hedonistic passions. Humans are superior to animals. For the sake of truth and the natural order, we must accept this, and bear the responsibility that it brings.

To believe that something must persist, that the path must be worth it, that we are valuable because we are human. This is an incredible piece, an amazing statement on human desire, the essence of humanity.

That burning desire to reach for the sky and the stars beyond is what drove us. Those who sought the path of "Explorer" would rarely stay in inhabited space for long before heading out again. Of those 12,000, less than 1/3 of them completed the expedition. But it was never about the destination, but rather the journey.

[@dylangibson7524]

Seriously? Yes.

[@Allen-P]

GOOOOOAAAATT - so excited to hear you are doing Civ 7!!

[@jimm8176]

Leonardo Da Vinci knew what lyrics could become a hit after hundreds of years!

[@dimitriydzyuba218]

He's such a genius.

[@GamerdevilPro]

Da Vinci was probably the biggest genius to ever walk the earth, there was basically nothing at which he wasn't exceptionally good at

[@Marcel-vn]

@@GamerdevilPro idk i reckon he was probably not that good at bowling

[@dimitriydzyuba218]

@@Marcel-vn lol haha ikr

[@SA-121]

His glider was an abomination though.

[@kmdd2258]

As an Italian, I am stunned by the power of my mothertongue. That's one of the best soundtrack ever listened in a game

[@michaelquerty2835]

Komdave be stunned by Leonardo da Vinci. A man truly ahead of his time

[@kmdd2258]

I live in a country immersed in the Beauty, surrounded by the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Palladio. Foreigners aren't able to understand that for Italians is "banal" admiring those men. P.s: expecially for English speakers, when you pronounce Italian names, be sure to pronounce them by reading in Italian, not in English

[@drybonfa]

Komdave Grande. Bisognerebbe considerare la grandezza estasiante del patrimonio storico-artistico del nostro Paese, un Paese che ci dà tanto e che per il magna magna di pochi e le collusioni con le mafie noi testardamente lo biasimiamo, non capendo che solo rivoltando l'ordine del sistema il potere potrà spettare al popolo e rendere così onore ai grandi che grande hanno resa la patria

[@remmychevalier2552]

As a French speaker, I am stunned by our similar our languages are. That said, I envy you greatly to live in Italy. If I was to visit, I fear I'd never be done discovering and probably wouldn't go back home.

[@tabushka292]

I'm Hungarian, but I study Italian. I could understand a few words and even a few lines from the song... maybe in a few months I will be able to understand it all! Italian is a beautiful language, but it's very difficult to learn.

[@2wheeltourclub]

La bellezza di testo che ha fatto da Vinci è una meraviglia già conosciuta. Ma, anche la melodia che tu hai fatto è il grandissimo capolavoro. È l'inno di tutta la umanità. Grazie, Christopher.

[@RobotsEverywhereVideos]

complimenti per l'italiano!

[@1mcave]

Haven’t played this game and wouldn’t have heard this work if it wasn’t given to me as audition material. I can honestly say that my life has become objectively better now that this song is part of it. Thank you for bringing this into the world.

[@fotistsichlas3599]

The NASA rover Perseverance will be landing on Mars in two days (February 18, 2021). During the livstream, I'll play this song in the final 4 minutes leading to touchdown, because it's such a fitting piece for such a historic point in time. Thank you for this, sir! Truly.

[@nicolasvalenzuela6694]

I hope you record that sir :(

[@sailordolly]

Perfect for the first flight(s) of Ingenuity, our first aircraft on another world!

[@michalsoukup1021]

Send us plagues and wars, and we will not only survive but come out stronger, better, more determined to push the boundaries possible. because we don't know when to give up. That is the real superpower of humanity, no matter WHAT, we keep marching on to greatness.

[@efrainolivencia3856]

This should be the world's anthem

[@The_Daily_Tomato]

Motion Seconded!

[@zejdland]

We are not one...

I honestly believe Christopher Tin is one of the greatest composers of our era.

[@leventt.7654]

This piece of art restores my faith in humanity everytime I listen to it. What a great song! Thank you Christopher a million times!

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

The anthem of Humanity if there ever was one. It's a testament to all we have accomplished, what we have faced and what we will do in the future. We are here today because our forefathers persevered, and we continue to do that to this day. Because Humanity will change just as the world does, and we will mend the wounds of the past, confront the present, and face the challenges of the future..or die trying. And we will continue to do this. Weather we hail from the sprawling cities of America, the deserts of Africa, the exotic valleys of India, the many islands of Japan or the lush forests of Scandinavia, we will continue to move forward...togheter. Because that is the strength of OUR family-the Human race. And we never, EVER, give up. Because WE have created Civillizations..to stand the test of time.

[@christophertin]

Bravo. Well put!

[@honey_hlopec5616]

You are absolutely right . Humanity can reach all frontiers , because this is what humanity does for thousands of years of the existence of our civilization. Terra Eternum!

[@toppu10animes]

Woah, that was beautiful

[@youtob2925]

Wow but spelling please

[@azzzanadra]

thank you! someone who has hope in humanity. i see many people cry over the destruction humanity brought to earth, but not many praising the things humanity built and discovered.

[@katrienwillems4978]

I was playing this song when my son (4 years old) came into the room: "wauw, that's beautiful mommy, what is the song about?" I told him it was about the dream of men to fly and now he asks daily to hear the song "about flying" :) ... and that's how you guide your kids to classical music! :D

[@christophertin]

Woo!

[@athanatiusc]

how to guide my girl to classical music :(

[@ladyvenompunk6178]

That's such a cute story oh gosh.

[@-Markus-]

And how to guide him into the most amazing trait humans ever acquired; Curiosity!

[@mateusz_0]

no, how you guide them into classical music is to let them play civ

[@agent.o3713]

Imagine all of the people of the planet singing, dancing with this playing. Humanity coul really be proud ! We are not the same by face or culture, but we should never forget the fact we're all the same specie, a specie destined to do great things! Cheers and respect to all who read.

[@cerii5943]

Agent.O Indeed! we need to look at the positive sides off humanty more. Watching the syrian civil war and Islamic state massacring a great number of people makes you question humans as a whole, but as you said one day humanety will realise what our main purpose is :D

[@Linuxs108]

We need a culture victory against the middle east lol

[@idarknight2123]

yep, totally, but first we must erradicate some cultures first. You know, the ones who are fighting each other for stuffs that actually don't exists.

[@cerii5943]

IDarkNight Well, more and more people realise there is no god (at least cant be proven) among us. Give humanity some time and religion will only be part of humanity's long history :)
