Sogno Di Volare (The Dream of Flight) #from Civilization VI

"Sogno di Volare" (The Dream of Flight) is a magnificent, soaring choral anthem originally composed by Christopher Tin as the theme for the video game Civilization VI. Setting the visionary writings of Leonardo da Vinci to music, the Italian text speaks of humanity’s ultimate ascent—taking flight, looking toward the sky, and filling the universe with wonder and glory.

In the Nigerian choral space, epic classical-crossover pieces like this are highly prized for special concerts, choir anniversaries, and grand choral competitions. It is a thrilling challenge for any choir, demanding a massive, unified sound, precise Italian diction, and the ability to build from a quiet, hopeful opening into an overwhelming, triumphant climax.

Adapted here into tonic sol-fa by Nweke Gabriel C., this arrangement makes a world-class contemporary anthem accessible to local voices. When a choir loft or concert stage rings out with the final, resounding "Gloria!", it leaves both the singers and the audience completely uplifted, capturing the true, boundless spirit of human discovery.
