Is there any way to describe, to one who has never experienced it, the unique pleasure, the profound joy of singing in a choir? Eric Whitacre felt an unexpected euphoria and carried his experience to a new height, creating his virtual choir, comprised of singers around the world, each alone but not lonely, singing music that he composed.

I have to say that this video brought tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to see the full version.
