The game didn't actually <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33016/Grammys_Award_First_Video_Game_Theme_For_Civ_IV_Music.php" target="_blank">win a Grammy</a>, mind you, but its theme song did.
<blockquote>Composer Christopher Tin has picked up the first ever Grammy Award win for a video game theme at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.
His track, "Baba Yetu", the opening theme to strategy title Civilization IV, won the award for 'Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist', beating the likes of "Baby" by Roger Treece and "Based On A Thousand True Stories" by Vince Mendoza.
The arrangement features the Soweto Gospel Choir & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and was originally created for the Firaxis release back in 2005. It then featured on his album "Calling All Dawns" in 2009.</blockquote><p>Spotted @ <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/">Gamasutra</a></p>
