| Description: The well-known melody from the video game Civilization IV is exquisitely captured in this G major string orchestra arrangement by Robert Longfield. Based on a Swahili translation of the Lord's Prayer, this arrangement is simplified enough to make it accessible while retaining the intricate rhythms of the original. Your students will love playing this infectious tune, which was the first piece of video game music to receive a Grammy! |
