\nChristopher Tin’s new album,\u00a0Calling All Dawns<\/em><\/a>, came out a couple weeks ago. Have a listen:<\/p>\n

Besides being able to record new pieces in Abbey Road with the Royal Philharmonic (not to mention Anonymous 4 and von Stade and Dulce Pontes), Chris also got to redo Baba Yetu with the Soweto Gospel Choir. As you can hear above, they did an incredible job finding the piece\u2019s exuberance and abundance of joy. I especially enjoy the (new?) solo voice that rises above the bridge. In fact, Chris did change a few things for this version (via\u00a0Steinar Kristoffersen<\/a>):<\/p>\n

    Steinar<\/strong>: \u2018The last time we wrote you mentioned that [\u2026] the audio guys over at Firaxis decided to remove your percussion and replace it with their own. I must confess I\u2019m curious [about] why the decision to replace your percussion was necessary or even desirable. I\u2019ll also admit, however, that – alas – I do like both versions of the track, and I probably have a particular fondness for the Civ 4<\/em> version, if only because I heard and fell in love with that versionfirst. Which is, from a composer\u2019s point of view (a point of view I can relate to and understand), unfortunate since that\u2019s not how you intended the track to go, but, well, there it is. It\u2019s still a wonderful track either way, and I\u2019m happy to have both versions on my playlist.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Chris<\/strong>: \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s unfortunate that most people heard the Firaxis version first; and now that I\u2019m creating yet a THIRD version, I have to figure out how to add something new, yet appeal to those who already fell in love with the first two versions. Nuts. :)\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    This album has been Chris\u2019s labor of love for quite some time. If you appreciate his music, go\u00a0buy it<\/a>\u00a0now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
