Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir

Whenever I come to the conclusion that there is no hope, God always manages to apply a cosmic 2 x 4 to get my attention.

This was one such example.

I had almost given up on modern Western RC liturgical music.

And then I heard the above.

The music is all the more remarkable, in that Mr. Whitacre managed to assemble his choir from the four corners of the earth, via modern technology.

This shows how he did it, with his 'rehearsal video'.

I had lost faith. But yes, it can be done. All it takes it the wisdom of the serpent, and the innocence of the dove, as our Lord has said.

And with that, I am back in the fray.

P.S., one can get more information as regards Eric Whitacre's good work by going here.

P.P.S. A tip of the hat is due to www.musicasacra.com and The Recovering Choir Director for this find. And my most sincere thanks.
