"Calling All Dawns" is a breathtaking debut album by composer Christopher Tin, released on October 1, 2009, under Universal Music Classics. This choral masterpiece spans a mere 46 minutes, yet it encapsulates a global journey through diverse cultures and languages, all united by the power of music.
Tin's compositions are a testament to his musical versatility and deep appreciation for global sounds. The album opens with the Grammy-winning "Baba Yetu," a Swahili chant that sets the tone for the spiritual and cultural exploration to follow. Each track is a unique blend of traditional and modern influences, from the Japanese "Mado Kara Mieru" to the Sanskrit "Sukla-Krsne," and the Maori "Kia Hora Te Marino."
"Calling All Dawns" is not just an album; it's an experience. It invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of world music, each song a thread that weaves together a narrative of unity and harmony.
