Aw man, I love this theme so much... I remember finding your channel from Baba Yetu with Malukah. Damn, that was a long while. This was a nice throwback
Gotta be honest, beautiful sounding as it is if I stumbled across that it's just creepy enough that my fascination would be outweighed by the desire to start running before they picked a blood sacrifice for Cthulhu
The way the AI sends literal *fleets* of Missionaries/Apostles at a time, I always imagine they're blasting one song or another on their approach. It could be beautiful like this, or it could be Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". Either way, it's terrifying.
Also, if the Olympics are ever held in Italy, this HAS to be part of the opening or closing ceremonies. I can see it already...a parade singing a capella, as facsimiles of Da Vinci's designs traverse the arena, and performers recreate the paintings of the Renaissance.
Olympics have been in Italy: 1956 Winter (Cortina d'Ampezzo), 1960 Summer (Rome), 2006 Winter (Torino). They will be in Italy again in the 2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina). (They would have been in Cortina d'Ampezzo in the 1944 Winter Olympics, but those were cancelled due to WWII.)
Say what you will about the Civilization series, they get good compositions out of Christopher Tin. For those who don't know, the lyrics come from a poem by Leonardo da Vinci about flight. I can't imagine a more appropriate theme for this game, which is about the development of civilizations over great periods of time.
Lyrics by Leonardo da Vinci: "Sogno di volare (The Dream Of Flight)" "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 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 Toward The Sun Sweeping Over The Great Mount 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 Mankind Will Be Lifted By His Own Creation Just Like Birds Into The Sky Oooh Oooh 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 Glory! Glory!"
It's kind of cool how each Civ theme represents a different type of win condition in-game. Baba Yetu is about the religious victory and Sogno di Volare is about the science victory.
Imagine this empty pile they're singing on is just next to a city of 18 and the citizens file a complain against violations of noise levels... Also, what wonder do I have to built to get this "great musicans" unit?
@@LauchTV2311 It's an inside joke for people that play the game Civilization (of which this video's song is the theme for - like it says in the title).
I'm italian and when I saw for the first time this video I was expecting to heard something in english and during the video I thought: "Mmh, I can understand the song! Wait...I understand very well...oh my, it's italian!!". I must congratulate you for the pronunciation, besides some mistakes, and at this point I would like to heard more italian song sing by you :)
"No, it's Iowa!", to quote the classic reply from the movie "Field of Dreams". Of course, wherever in the world this was filmed, Abraham Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt could build a city from Iowa close enough to there within a game of Civ 6.
Ever heard a song so beautiful that brings you tears even though you don't understand a single word of it? This is a good example. Big fan of Christopher Tin.
I totally agree! This song is so beautiful and powerful. It transcends language and culture. 😍 I’m also a big fan of Christopher Tin. He’s a genius composer. 🙌
Man, Italian here. I was so proud to hear Italian lyrics in the game, I almost cried. I started to follow you about a year ago and now I'm proud to hear such a beautiful, Italian song on your channel. You and the choir are astonishing; wonderful cover, this song is really a masterpiece, you filled my eyes with tears!
I am a member of my wife's London, Ontrario, concert choir, the Karen Schuessler Singers, and we know and have performed this piece many times. I am in awe of the skill and work that went into this production. It is absolutely amazing. It captures both the joy and humanity that Christopher Tin put into this peice. I will be sharing it with everyone in our choir.
Maybe he was referring to Secondari's project, "I, Leonardo Da Vinci" where he wrote the exact same citation. Some believe that the quotes written by Da Vinci about dream of flying is merely fictional and the reason of people believing it was written by Da Vinci is because Secondari wrote those fictional quotes to his project. Who am i kidding, this world is full of mysteries :p
"From the first stirring of life beneath water, to the great beasts of the stone age, to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far..." -Sean Bean
Damn, this is overwhelmingly epic! Wonderful chorists and rich arrangement, once again you managed to turn Christopher Tin's pieces into acapella gold. Keep on slaying!
Can you imagine walking by in those forests or on those hills and hearing their voices carrying over on the breeze...suddenly they start walking closer to you and their voices and the beautiful music swells even louder, pulling you closer...
As an avid player of the Civilization since Civilization II .. ABSOLUTELY. UNEQUIVOCALLY, EPIC ON ALL POSSIBLE LEVELS. This captures everything that is Civilization, an incredibly astonishing feat you all have performed!! Absolutely loved this and had to save this video immediately!
Hilarious jokes and relevant commentary aside, I just have to say: this gives me shivers every time I listen to it. It's such a beautiful and awesome theme, but seeing a skilled choir perform it in action is breathtaking. Also, HEY! Culture is *my* tactic. Off and away with your angelic voices. - The cutaways where Peter is tenfold = the missionaries the AI sends en masse to convert my cities. Heathens!
Each time Peter Hollens covers a Civ song, the result bring tears to my eyes. It's beautiful ... (other songs of his do it too, but those two, it's guaranteed)
Love the song man. It sounds so good! You guys are awesome. I’m really trying to be a member. You should do Sunrise, Sunset from the Fiddler on the Roof. I think it would fit your voice perfectly. Keep it the awesome music! 👍
From the first stirrings of life beneath water, to the great beasts of the stone age, to man taking his first upright steps, you have come far. Now begins your greatest quest. From this early crafle of civilization, on towards the stars.
I could listen to this over and over -- I know nothing about the Civilization game, but this music is so good that it shouldn't be restricted by being tied to a game. And I love this rendition on You Tube that provides the words AND a translation! I don't know why some orchestras in the United States haven't had Christopher Tin evenings.
Being honest....when I first fired up the game, I just listened to this theme for about 20 minutes straight. As a huge fan of Civ V, I was incredibly excited to play the game, so that's a real testament to how awesome this song is! Game didn't do it for me though. I put 1500 hours into Civ V, and couldn't even manage 150 hours in Civ VI.
2:00 gives me chills. The determination while everyone starts walking ahead, progressing into an unknown future. Catches the spirit of this song perfectly!
Brilliant interpretation. Love it. Love it. Love it. But then again I love everything that Peter Hollens does. Such a brilliant musician. Deserves an award of some sort.
What a gorgeous arrangement and collaboration. Well worth a couple more days waiting for. Peter Hollens you genious. I often think of songs I would like to hear your work on (yes, I too am a dork!). How about: Disney: The age of not believing, Bedknobs and Broomstick. Narnia: The Call Other: I Vow To Thee My Country Looking forward to following you further on this brilliant journey. Steve, Chesterfield, UK
I don't think it's misrepresenting the number. I think it is representing the iconic V from the name of the game itself: Civilization. Also, i think the developers used roman numerals for the same reason that i stated above. It fits in the name perfectly when it comes to the fifth and the sixth release of the game.
Baba yetu might be peoples 'all time civ theme'.. but for me this is by far the single best theme, and performance. even after 10 listens parts still give me goosebumps... Now I have to figure out why it took until now for it to show up in my recommended list!
Holy crud, this is EPIC! My girls are all in choirs and they're often trying for the "fill the room" sound. Peter and his friends certainly did that! Even the angels listened in awe!

I always thought that theme to Civ 6 was hard to top with how crisp and uplifting it sounds. Then I found this and got the chills down my spine that the original theme song didn't give me. Bravo.

Maybe he was referring to Secondari's project, "I, Leonardo Da Vinci" where he wrote the exact same citation.
Some believe that the quotes written by Da Vinci about dream of flying is merely fictional and the reason of people believing it was written by Da Vinci is because Secondari wrote those fictional quotes to his project.

Disney: The age of not believing, Bedknobs and Broomstick.
Narnia: The Call
Other: I Vow To Thee My Country
Looking forward to following you further on this brilliant journey.

Was anyone else bothered by the team singing the Civilization VI theme making a big V at the end?
Well NOW I am
didn't have enough people to form the I
I don't think it's misrepresenting the number. I think it is representing the iconic V from the name of the game itself: Civilization.
Also, i think the developers used roman numerals for the same reason that i stated above. It fits in the name perfectly when it comes to the fifth and the sixth release of the game.
Edmundo Hermosilla same with IV
V is better
This is great but I’m tryna build a mine where these singers are singing, so could they please move over?
This does bring a tear to my eye
I've passed through this song so many times like I didnt care, its remarkable how much beauty we overlook
is it weird this this song has enough power that i can see it be the theme of a fantasy hero?
it's so good!!!!!
Baba yetu might be peoples 'all time civ theme'.. but for me this is by far the single best theme, and performance. even after 10 listens parts still give me goosebumps... Now I have to figure out why it took until now for it to show up in my recommended list!
Holy crud, this is EPIC! My girls are all in choirs and they're often trying for the "fill the room" sound. Peter and his friends certainly did that! Even the angels listened in awe!
What happened to the title? It's very wrong, I drifted by this thinking it was wrong until I had to double check.
When Christopher made this i knew you were gonna sing it eventually
literally almost cried, so beautiful
Mum: 'Go outside and stop playing videogames'
Me and the bois:

Epic choir? That's too much of an understatement for this performance. There is no name for this performance, so ingenious is the performance.

Lyrics:
Una volta che avrai
Spiccato il volo, deciderai
Sguardo verso il ciel, saprai
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai
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
Una volta che avrai
Spiccato il volo, deciderai
Sguardo verso il ciel, saprai
Lì a casa il cuore sentirai
Gloria
Gloria
This video... is GREAT!
First time i heard last night ive been playing it in repeat all night and today and until i die this is heaven opened to me, Tears of joy!
Why is the title "200 Kids Sing Civilization Theme"? I swear this was different a year ago
Clickbaiting can turn 40 young adults into 200 kids. Imagination is the limit.
OMG this is so amazing! I love you all🖤🖤🖤
Thanks so much!!! ❤️
I always thought that theme to Civ 6 was hard to top with how crisp and uplifting it sounds. Then I found this and got the chills down my spine that the original theme song didn't give me. Bravo.
Wow, that was pretty goddamn epic. I'm going to play this over the biggest Bluetooth speaker I can find when I solo for my pilots license.
when I play this video my boyfriend comes in running "are you gonna play Civ 6" and I'm like. no I'm just watching a video lol. so its a really exceptional cover.
