Amazing TED Talk – Two Thousand Voice Virtual Choir
What is a Virtual Choir?
All I need to say is that if you have the slightest interest in choir music you MUST watch this nearly 15 minute TED Talk presentation by composer/conductor Eric Whitacre that explains and then performs wonderful choir music by combining prerecorded individual parts from all over the world – a Virtual Choir -in an awesome video and audio presentation.

“Sleep”
The second selection mentioned is “Sleep” which wasn’t finished when the TED talk was presented.
The completed version of “Sleep” is now on YouTube.
When I showed these videos to my musically inclined wife, Lynn, she was astounded and deeply moved and I was, too.
Were you?
