 Calling All Dawns (Music)
comment
Calling All Dawns is a 2009 Classical Music album, and the debut album of composer Christopher Tin. Recently, he was known for producing the first piece of video game music to win a Grammy, Baba Yetu, with a re-recorded version included on this album.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The album consists of three movements: Day, night, and dawn. These correspond to life, death, and rebirth, respectively, and each song is written accordingly. Notably, despite there being a total of twelve tracks on the disk, each one fades into one another in a way that makes it feel like one continuous song, effectively playing along with the life cycle theme of the album.The album, self-published by Tin himself, was released to universal acclaim, even winning a pair of Grammys in the process, and for once there's a good reason for that. Each song is very well-produced, with a consistent level of quality throughout, and the guest vocalists and choir give it a distinctly different feel from what is normally expected. Impressively, one group did a cover of Mado Kara Mieru before it was even released. Overall, it's definitely worth buying.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The album can be bought at the artist's website, and also on Amazon, where all reviews save one give it 5 stars. The single 4-star review has nothing bad to say, either.A follow-up album, The Drop That Contained The Sea, was released in May, 2014.

Ominous Latin Chanting: Averted with the actual Latin song Lux Aeterna. True, different languages make up the song cycle, but the mood is never ominous.

comment
Spiritual Successor: Tin's second album, God of Love, despite a Genre Shift to techno(mostly from Trip Hop and Post-Punk), follows a similar theme of Love and Death, and also draws upon poetry and literature, mostly from the Renaissance and Romantic periods. It's also far Darker and Edgier than Calling All Dawns. His third album, The Drop That Contained The Sea, resonates much more fully with this album.

Do Not Go Gentle: Rassemblons-Nous, to provide a counterpoint to Se É Pra Vir Que Venha, to revolt against death guns blazing. Appropriately enough, the song is in French.

Genre Roulette: appropriate for the different cultures of the songs, the music subtly shifts in style for each song. Special mention for the use of synthesized drums in only one song, Rassemblons-Nous.

Hope Springs Eternal: The dark Night Movement may have pretty much blotted out the light, but it comes back in full force through sheer hope. The Dawn Movement in general is a pretty hopeful section of the album.

Epic Rocking: The album begins with Baba Yetu, which sums up the message perfectly, and ends with Kia Hora Te Marino, a pretty effective peace anthem. Both songs also echo the triumphant tone of the album.

Mood Whiplash
 Calling All Dawns (Music) / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: The mostly upbeat Day movement is followed by the somber Night movement, and then followed by the hopeful Dawn movement. Between songs, its not unusual for songs that come after another to be different in tone to the previous song. The best instance is the two song ending to the day movement, intentionally presenting two very different opinions on death in a matter of eight minutes and 43 seconds.

Animated Music Video: Sort of. The Baba Yetu music video uses CGI cutscenes from Civilization IV, to surprisingly great effect.note This is because said music video is, in fact, used as the intro to the game as well.
