Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir

This is stunning!

Composer and conductor Eric Whitacre used his blog, Facebook and YouTube to put a call out, assemble and audition over 200 singers for his virtual choir. He sent them all sheet music so they could each video themselves performing their individual parts and Whitacre Scottie Haines (thanks Ian) then spliced it all back together to create the truly beautiful, Lux Aurumque.

Here’s the final video.

To be clear, Scottie Haines was the one who edited/spliced, not Eric Whitacre. Also, we were not, auditioned, per se…
