Composer/conductor Eric Whitacre has created a virtual choir. He videotaped himself conducting, then asked singers to record themselves singing their respective parts and send it on to him. He then merged their voices and videos electronically. The end result is the amazing recording above – 185 singers making exquisitely beautiful music together.
Adding such joy to the world. That’s not virtual – that’s real.

You can be part of Whitacre’s next virtual choir performance – no auditions are necessary, according to info on his facebook page, where he states he wants to compose an original piece and assemble a choir of hundreds, even thousands. Watch for the announcement, either on his facebook or youtube pages, then make and send in your recording. You can be sure I’ll be sending in mine!
That was absolutely amazing to watch. The internet is a wonderful place. Such a huge diverse group of people of all ages, colour and creed coming together to sing. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Well done to all involved.
Perhaps the future of music? That was beautiful!
Can or may call you Peggy. Go for it, look like you have met a few 'They's'
Now that is just cool! I love people who find new things to do with music. My next first horror anthology will be themed like music videos for songs in a horror vein. I love seeing new ways to mix media. Nice find!
I'm such a fan of Eric Whitacre and this is beyond beautiful.
This is just incredible! I can't wait to see what his next project will be.
Amazing. So many people, make the song that much more amazing.

However….I envy that man's patience…
Have you already thought of it?? He had to join all those voices! What an headache to hear so many times the same thing!
And what about those bad singers that we just love to laugh when we see them at the American Idol and programs like that?

Anyone knows when is going to be the next experience?
