Culture Break: Christopher Tin: Baba Yetu

From the YouTube description:

Watch Christopher Tin conduct “Baba Yetu” – his Grammy Award-winning theme song written for Civilization IV. Performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Angel City Chorale, Prima Vocal Ensemble, and Lucis at Cadogan Hall in London, July 19, 2016.

Otherwise, I know nothing about the composer or any of the rest of it, but it's fun.
