According to the Mashable article, “American composer and conductor Eric Whitacre spliced together nearly 250 submitted YouTube videos to form an online choir” after spreading the word via social media.
So truly beautiful it gives me chills. Have a truly amazing weekend.
Ethereal and magnificent. Thank you for posting this.
Wow…. Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing this!
I’m not gonna lie. I cried. A lot.
…Don’t judge me.
At the end of two weeks of overtime, with a long airline trip in the middle, this is just what I needed. Think I’ll mosey over to Pandora radio and search for chorale music now.
This actually stopped work in the office. WOW.
I LOVE Eric Whitacre’s stuff! So glad to see a link here! Another one of his that’s really good is When David Heard.
Eric Whitacre is one of my favorite contemporary composers. I attended a lecture/clinic of his a few years back and he seems like a genuinely nice guy. Not too hard on the eyes, either! Excited to see the video here!
Gorgeous! Thank you for the link.
The only thing better than listening to it is singing it. 😀 “Sleep” and “Cloudburst” are my other favorites of his. He is truly a choral genius; he makes dissonance sound like ear candy. mmm….
That was farkin’ amazing.
Absolutely transcendent.
