Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu", from the album "Calling All Dawns" - used as a featured segment in the Dubai Fountain, the world's largest water feature. To learn more visit www.christophertin.com.
"Baba Yetu" can be heard on Christopher Tin's debut album "Calling All Dawns", a 12-song concept album featuring performances by the Soweto Gospel Choir, Sussan Deyhim, Anonymous 4, Dulce Pontes, Frederica von Stade, Lia, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
"Baba Yetu" is also well known as the theme song to the video game Civilization IV, and has received hundreds of live performances around the world from professional orchestras like the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia, as well as local school and church choirs.
The Dubai Fountain is created by WET Design, the creators of the Bellagio Fountain in Las Vegas. It's situated at the base of the Burj Dubai, the tallest skyscraper in the world.

The only video game sound track to ever be not only be nominated, but win, a Grammy award in it's 53 years of history. Well done, Christoper Tin. You did everyone proud.

This and "I Will Always Love You" are, in my opinion, Dubai Fountain's signature songs. This choreography (and that of the other mentioned) are magnificent, subtle and gentle where they need it, and powerful only at the right moments. Many fountain programmers know nothing about timing and pacing, and WET has punctuated these flawlessly. Of course, choosing just the right music for a particular fountain show's abilities and resources is the other crucial thing. A better match couldn't be made.

It's world music, man. It represents humanity.
I'm an atheist, but I know a masterful piece of music when I hear it.
