2K and Firaxis Games has announced that Christopher Tin will be returning as the composer for the title theme on the upcoming ‘Civilization VI’. Tin had previously composed the theme ‘Baba Yetu’ for Civilization IV which is the only piece of video game music to ever win a Grammy Award. The piece has been named ‘Sogno di Volare‘ (The Dream of Flight).
“I wanted to write a piece that captured the essence of exploration. Both the physical exploration of seeking new lands, but also the mental exploration of expanding the frontiers of science and philosophy.”
Tin debuted ‘Sogno di Volare‘ on July 19th at the Cadogan Hall in London, accompanied by Britain’s National Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Angel City Chorale, Prima Vocal Ensemble, and Lucis Choir Group.
You will be able to listen to the track when Civilization VI is released on October 21st.
