Calling all Dawns,by Christopher Tin
Calling All Dawns is a classical crossover album by Christopher Tin released in 2009. The album won two Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards for Best Classical Crossover Album and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for the song "Baba Yetu", the theme for the 2005 video game Civilization IV.[1] The win marks the first time in history that a Grammy has been awarded to a composition written for a video game. The album is a song cycle in three movements: day, night, and dawn (corresponding to life, death, and rebirth). Twelve songs are featured on the album, each sung in a different language. Many of the lyrics find their sources in important pieces of world literature, including excerpts of long works such as the Hebrew Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, and The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and also smaller verses such as the Lord's Prayer, Māori proverbs, and Japanese haiku.The album features a similarly diverse set of vocal traditions, including opera, Irish keening, and African choral music. The UK premiere of Kia Hora Te Marino was in Bath Abbey on 10 May 2014, at a concert in aid of the Royal British Legion.

Thank you, Dr. Kim, once again for educating us on music.
For someone like me who has no basic background on music
Christopher Tin's music is an eye opener and indeed is beautiful.
One of my granddaughters is majoring in music composition,
playing several instruments including piano so that as a grandpa
I have a natural interest in learning what the current musicians like Christopher Tin
are creating.

Christopher Chiyan Tin (born May 21, 1976) is an American composer of art music, often composed for film and video game soundtracks. His work is primarily orchestral and choral, often with a world music influence. He has won two Grammy Awards for his classical crossover album Calling All Dawns.
Tin is perhaps best known for his choral piece Baba Yetu from the video game Civilization IV, which became the first piece of video game music ever to win a Grammy Award in 2011.[1] His Grammy win was considered a significant milestone for the critical acceptance of music from video games as a legitimate art form, and following his win the Recording Academy retitled their visual media categories to become more inclusive of video game soundtracks.[2]
