Baba Yetu

Bring the soaring energy of Christopher Tin’s masterpiece to your choir with this stunning, fully a cappella arrangement. Originally written as the iconic theme for the video game Civilization IV and featured in Tin’s Grammy-winning album Calling All Dawns, "Baba Yetu" is a powerful setting of the Lord's Prayer in Swahili.

This meticulously crafted arrangement captures the grand scale of Tin’s original orchestral and choral setting entirely through the human voice. Designed for advanced ensembles, it features rich, lush textures and sophisticated SATB divisi where the singers seamlessly cover both the driving instrumental accompaniment and the gorgeous, rhythmic vocal lines.

Enhance Your Performance: While written to be performed completely a cappella, an optional MP3 percussion backing track is available to add an extra layer of rhythmic drive and cinematic energy to your live performance or virtual choir project.
