Arranged by Nicholas Lucas
Conducted by A. Posipanko

The words Baba Yetu, mean Our Father, and the song's lyrics are a Swahili translation of the Lord's Prayer. Members of the Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota Choir will be singing the gospel choir parts. This piece will also feature the percussion, the strings, and the French horn. This piece comes from the computer game Civilization IV which came out in 2005. It is a part of the award-winning Sid Meier's Civilization series of games. In this game players take turns building empires and battling each other for dominance. There are many civilizations that you can control from the Americans and Romans to the Egyptians and Japanese. Many of you probably don't know that Baba Yetu won a Grammy in 2011 for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists. We hope you enjoy Baba Yetu.

The 8-Bit Orchestra was inspired by the University of Maryland Gamer Symphony Orchestra, the first collegiate ensemble dedicated to performing video game music.

8-Bit pieces are arranged by students, conducted by students, and performed by students of the University of Delaware. The group organizes concerts twice a year: at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Starting with a group of around 40, now reaching nearly 60 members from a wide variety of majors, the 8-Bit Orchestra is continuing to grow. Today, we are the largest instrumental music RSO on campus, and have been invited to perform at off-campus events like Minefaire, the Minecraft fan convention.
