Introduction[]

The soundtrack of Civilization VI was written and orchestrated primarily by Geoff Knorr, who was assisted by Roland Rizzo, Griffin Cohen, and Phill Boucher .[1] The themes of each civilization are played as different variations of the same song throughout the eras, with simple single instrument melodies in the Ancient Era turning into modern songs by the Atomic Era, symbolizing the evolution and growth of one's civilization throughout the ages.[2]

Main Theme[]

Christopher Tin, composer of the Grammy winning Civilization IV song " Baba Yetu ", wrote " Sogno di Volare " (translated as "The Dream of Flight"), the main theme of Civilization VI. The theme was written to capture the spirit of exploration not only in "seeking new lands, but also the mental exploration of expanding the frontiers of science and philosophy". Tin premiered the song at a London concert in July 2016.[3]
