The Lyre Ensemble and their work with ancient texts and instruments is how I first found out about Andy Lowings and his reconstructions of ancient lyres, including the striking Gold Lyre of Ur which Andy performs on both the Civ VI and Civ VII soundtracks.

To my Recording Academy friends, with first round voting underway I would be thrilled to have you consider the soundtrack for Sid Meier's Civilization VII in multiple categories.

My theme for Qajar was recently released as part of the @civilization.2k.com VII Right to Rule DLC. This an arrangement of a tasnif from the Qajar period, "Tā be Zolf-e Khish," and, of course, "Salâm-e Šâh," which was the national anthem of Qajar.

My theme for Dai Viet was recently released as part of the Right to Rule Collection for @civilization.2k.com VII. It was great to collaborate with Thi Lalum again for this track!

I had the privilege of collaborating with Egyptian-born performer, educator, and speaker Karim Nagi for the music of Ancient Egypt in Civ VII. This print hanging in his studio, along with similar wall paintings of musicians from Ancient Egypt were a guiding light for the theme.

I don't sell many of these, but it's always quite a sight when I do - score books including all of the industrial era themes and expansion cinematics in Civ VI!

Very happy to share my theme for Great Britain that was recently released for Civ VII. It's an arrangement of Hubert Parry's "And did those feet in ancient time," commonly known as "Jerusalem."
