  • A tribute to Christopher Tin.
    "Baba Yetu" was composed by Christopher Tin for the opening menu in the computer game Civilization IV. This song is also performed regularly at the Video Games Live concerts.
    Christopher Tin has recently released a new album "Calling All Dawns" which features over 200 musicians from around the world. The album also has a new recording of "Baba Yetu" which is spectacular. You can check out a sample of the new recording and purchase the new album here:
    www.christopher...
    I recently bought the album and it really is something else! I highly recommend it.
    High Quality MP3 of my piano version here:
    www.megaupload....
    **I did this on my first take! I was very surprised at how well I did on my first take, so even though there were a few slips ups, I decided to just go with it.**
    Enjoy!!

    Baba yetu uliye mbinguni,
    Jina lako litukuzwe,
    Ufalme wako uje,
    Mapenzi yako yatimizwe,
    hapa duniani kama huko mbinguni.
    Utupe leo riziki yetu.
    Utusamehe makosa yetu,
    kama sisi nasi tuwasamehevyo wadeni wetu.
    Na usitutie majaribuni,
    lakini utuokoe na yule mwovu.
    [Kwa kuwa ufalme ni wako, na nguvu, na utukufu, hata milele.]
    Amin.

    The video that inspired me to learn Piano. Its crazy to think this was 13 years ago now. I was only 13 when I found this.
    I never kept it on after a year because I just couldn't get the hand co-ordination right. But revisiting this video reignites the love for the piano. I don't know if I'll ever learn it, but listening to its sounds puts me in a very happy place indeed

      I know your comments old, but I still have something to say. While most people know that playing on a actual piano both sounds and feels better. I have played on one of these keyboards and they are a lot of fun.

      Due to a fact that i'm also musician, i understand what are u talking about. Im playing guitar and even though its electric guitar, i always enjoy playing on acoustic one. Talent and work of this man should be prized. And even if he likes more playing on keyboards, piano should be like trophy. If not real piano than golden statue or w.e. But i'm just fan, and its my belief :)

    • @bansheezs
      @bansheezs 7 лет назад +4

      I would disagree. Keyboards that have weighted keys can perform the same as a real piano if not better. They also have many different sounds that can be used on them and never need tuning. Price is also generally less on keyboards.

      When you play a song enough, the muscle memory is there. On a professional level, almost every soloist I've seen for something like a concerto does it without sheet music. I don't know if it's a matter of personal pride or just something that naturally happens, but playing from memory is simply the result of practice.
