His music is marked by a natural ease of melody, economy of gesture, and a flair for the dramatic. He is a native Californian, born of Chinese descent, and educated in England, and his aesthetic sensibilities are a blend of his diverse cultural background.

His debut album Calling All Dawns was the recipient of two Grammys at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards: Best Classical Crossover Album, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists (for the song 'Baba Yetu').

He received his undergraduate education at Stanford University and Oxford University, studying Music Composition, Conducting, and English Literature. After winning a Fulbright Scholarship, he continued his studies at the elite Royal College of Music in London--the alma mater of many of the giants of British composition: Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan-Williams, Gustav Holst and others. There, he earned an MMus with Distinction, graduating with the highest marks in his class, and winning the Horovitz Composition Prize. He is also a Sundance Institute fellow.

His music has been performed live by many orchestras around the world, including the National Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Philharmonia, Metropole Orchestra, and hundreds of amateur choirs around the world. His sheet music is published by Alfred Publishing.

In addition to his album work, he is also an active composer of music for films, video games, advertising, and many other media. He has won awards for his video game music, for titles such as Civilization IV and Pirates Of The Caribbean Online. He has contributed to scores for such Hollywood blockbusters as X2: X-Men United and Lilo And Stitch 2, and a host of independent features, documentaries and TV specials. And he has developed major ad campaigns for brands like Puma, Verizon, The Gap, and others. (More information on his custom work can be found at his online portfolio, Tin Works.)

His career is also marked by many rare and unusual distinctions; he has both co-created the startup sound for Microsoft's Surface operating system, and a demo song for Apple's Garage Band software, now found on every new Mac computer. His hit song 'Baba Yetu' is both the theme song to the video game Civilization IV, and is also used as a featured segment for the Dubai Fountain, the world's largest choreographed fountain, situated at the base of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper. Its win at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards made history as the first video game piece ever to receive Grammy recognition.

Christopher Tin currently lives in Santa Monica, CA.

Overall Meaning

The song "Mado Kara Mieru" by Christopher Tin is about the changing of seasons and how it affects the natural world. In spring, the lyrics describe the sight of a single plum blossom shining through a window and the warmth that it conveys. It represents a new beginning and a sense of hope. Summer is portrayed through the dazzling green leaves that catch the eye and the sound of the cuckoo bird singing, signaling the start of summer. It suggests the excitement and vitality that comes with the warm season. In autumn, the song presents a picture of refreshing, crisp autumn winds that invite one to take a journey up the mountain where the sound of a bell can be heard ringing in the distance. It demonstrates the melancholy that comes with the passing of time. The last verse, yomei, speaks to the impermanence of things, and how fleeting life is. Finally, winter is depicted as the cold and harsh season where one could mistake sleeping constantly with the hibernation of snow.

窓から見える　輝く　梅　一輪

余命　幾許か　有る
余命　幾許か　有る

今宵は　哀し

余命　幾許か　有る

窓から見える　冷えた　雪の　家に
寝ている　と　思う
寝てばかりにて

And/or brings tears to your eyes. The whole purpose of music (and art in general) is to communicate and express not just an idea or a thought but an emotion or experience in a way that goes beyond words so that other people don't merely understand it intellectually but resonate with it almost viscerally. When a work of art inspires an emotional or even a physical reaction in someone (ideally, a reaction other than contempt!), it's done what it was designed to do -- and this piece has definitely done its job in terms of communicating the passage of time not only in terms of seasons but in terms of life as well as the apprehension which lurks beneath the awe we feel when we take time to consider the breadth of our individual experience.

I’m in awe. Selecting haiku poems of the four seasons and enabling the listeners to view those scenes from a window frame is just a genius idea. The fact that you started from spring lyrics and finished in spring lyrics makes me think about the circulation of life and gives me a sense of Buddhism. You also inserted some words by a poet who eventually died from tuberculosis, wondering how many days are left for him, and it makes the peak of the song so powerful.

It speaks not just of the cycle of the seasons but of the cycle of life and the vital importance of appreciating whatever moments of beauty we can find in it however fleeting -- because as the lyrics point out, our lives in the scheme of things are all too short and none of us know for certain how much time we might have left.

Gorgeous. Una sinfonía a las estaciones del año, una meditación hermosa llena de paz, melancolía y paisajes que se dibujan en la mente. Bravo por este señor, un auténtico genio de nuestros tiempos.

I've only recently discovered Christopher Tin's music, and it has a very unique charm. He manages to capture the spirit of the language and culture represented in the music. It's a cosmopolitan gift: the music is truly fitting.

Also, two of those women (at least one of which also did Clannad After Story) also did several themes in Angel Beats.

Yeah, and the other one also did "Wo Qui Non Coin" from Cowboy Bebop.

This has been an immensely memorable (and now nostalgic) song since I was literally like, 10, looking up AMVs on an obscure kids website where someone used this one time- it's stuck with me this whole time and i'm back here today cause I remembered I wanted to listen to it... Amazing work!
