Apparently PBS is going to have a show on Video Games Live, including interviews with composers and live performances. The recorded performances will be shown through TV and out on DVD as well.

Here’s a [preview of the Civilization 4 theme](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u_EWzmvI8E) with astounding vocals. It’s good, take a look at it!

That’s awesome. Though I think the copy of the song in the game is a bit better. Does anyone know if that’s an actual language and if so what it translates too?

Epic! One can only hope that Civ5 will have music as good.

It’s the Lord’s Prayer, sung in (I believe) Swahili.
