A VIRTUAL CHOIR
Enjoy singing? Then read on for something that may interest you.If you like music, in particular classical music, you may have heard of Eric Whitacre. He is a popular composer and conductor from Nevada, the USA, who has written some wonderful music over the last twenty years.This music bridges the gaps between the traditional classical music of composers Mozart or Tchaikovsky and the popular music people enjoy today. But you may know his name for different reason. Eric Whitacre created the Virtual Choir., whose video has been seen on Your Tube by more than 6 million people.
Choirs have been popular in recent years and have even been featured on reality TV show, where choirs of different size, singing different types of music compete in front of the judges to be voted for by the viewers and win the Best Choir Prize.These choirs may have been five and fifty members. But Eric Whitacre's choir is something different indeed.
In 2009 a young girl , called Britlin Losee, sent Eric a video of herself singing a piece of his music.Eric was hugely impressed by the video and put it on his website and then he had an amazing idea. What if hundreds of other people did the same thing? Suppose he asked people to record themselves singing the same song and send the video to him? Eric could put them together to create an enormous virtual choir.
This thought led Eric to incredible journey. After using 185 voices on his first virtual choir video in 2010, he became more and more ambitious. Last year he recorded his song Fly To Paradise with the voices and faces of 5905 people from 101 countries. The participants are in ages range from 6 years old to ninety eight. And they come from countries as far as the north of Norway and New Zealand.
The Fly to Paradize video is amazing. The singers faces appear on thousands of windows in skyscraper building as they sing, and soundtrackof their five thousand voices is unimaginably moving. The song is five minutes long but the creditsthat lists the people onthe video go on for eight minutes.It is incredible that each voice was recorded on a different webcam, smartphone or tablet in a bedroom, bathroom or basement. Do you want your voice to be heard ? Then sign up for Eric's next project. Watch this space.
