OMG I cried. Who composed this and is this a re-edition of some other song?

Felt similar. At first didn't like it, but listened to the whole thing and can't help but say they made another great hit.
It really evokes a sort of somber, grandeur. Kinda like a reprisal, but still hopeful in a way, with a feeling of nostalgia, but adventure.

Michael Curran composed it, just like the other two main menu themes.

Does anyone have any idea what language this song is in? And, further to that, an English translation of the lyrics? I'm curious what is being said!
EDIT: Seems to be something along these lines.

I'm pretty sure it is in Latin.

My limited knowledge of Ecclesiastical Latin tells me the following:
It's a hymn.
I'm guessing it's based on Revelations chapter 20something, where the new Heavens and the new Earth (Caelum et Terra/um) are created.
I was right. This is the Google Translate translation:
I saw a new land
O holy city
I saw a new land
Holy City of God
I saw a new heaven
Newfoundland from God
went the first heaven
and the first earth passed away
a new heaven and earth by God
God descending from God
He will wipe every tear
from their eyes, and death, not ul ul
the earth shall come to pass, neither sorrow, nor crying has passed away
O land, O land
O land, O land
new Jerusalem
O land, O Jerusalem
down Newfoundland
a new heaven and earth
and the sea is no
bring the glory honor of the nations into it
Oh, glory to God
first earth passed away
a new heaven and earth
and the sea, and the sky is no longer the land of a new
I saw a new land
first earth passed away
I saw Jerusalem
a new heaven and earth
a new heaven and earth
Oh glory
the glory of heaven and a new earth
I saw Jerusalem
has passed away
I saw a new land
has passed away
I saw Jerusalem
a new heaven and earth
the land of glory
amen
It's a hymn.

It's beautiful. Really love it.
I didn't get all the hate for the new theme right after release. I think it's far superior to the "someone left a mic on in the practice room" that makes up about one third of the G&K theme.
Nice to see the BWN theme getting a little appreciation.

Hey, don't discredit Gods & Kings' theme, it was really beautiful as well, and it fitted the expansion marvelously!
The only theme I didn't really enjoy was the vanilla one... To me it didn't fit the game's feel, and was rather slow and boring, with only some points of interest... Coming from Civilization IV's Baba Yetu, it was a real disappointment...
Speaking of which, no theme as yet surprised Baba Yetu, and to me that is THE BEST at representing Civilization.
Brave New World's theme fit the expansion perfectly, and is a really beautiful song, too, though!
I quite enjoy listening to it...There are, however, better themes in this expansion - which is saying a lot, seeing how good this one is!

It's a great theme and I completely don't understand the complaining. I love it personally and greatly prefer it to the bland Civ 5 theme and G&K one which quickly got old. Baba Yetu I find a bit overrated too and, in fact, I think this new one is better.

Its good, but I like G&K intro better song better...BNW sounds too depressed and melancholic

It's a good theme. I dislike how both it and the intro video are all optimistic, though. They should be portraying a dystopian nightmare of evil and cruelty.

Someone should request a translation of this in Latin Discussion: http://latindiscussion.com/forum
They can help with translating the theme.

I have that exact same issue! I play multiplayer with a friend and their game loads almost instantly, then they send me invite after invite to make sure I got an invite since I haven't joined yet, but in reality it just sits on the loading screen. It also takes a while for the actual games to start up after I create/load them.

With my setup it takes 40 seconds to get to the game menu (Firaxis,2K, then Theme picture "Loading", eventually Main Menu), then about 5 seconds to get to "Begin the Journey". I don't think this has anything to do with the game introduction,...the game itself is just heavy and there is a lot to load.
If you are looking to improve your load times,...?? I am sure installing the game on a high quality SSD would help,...and Overclocking is a option if you have the capabilities.
