A friend passed along this video of 17,572 singers from 129 countries performing Eric Whitacre’s “Sing Gently,” and included a poem by Bertolt Brecht
In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing
About the dark times.
– Bertolt Brecht, motto to Svendborg Poems, 1939
“It turns out singing is a perfect way to spread coronavirus. So, what’s a choral singer to do? Well, one could join a virtual choir, and that’s what over 17,000 people did.” — NPR
Nice.
Thanks
Most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Like angels singing… Simply exquisite. Thank you, Eric Whitacre and the 17,572, for this gift — illumination, in a time of darkness.
A beautiful, moving expression of voices joined together ,,,strangers who become one voice, givng back to our Creator the talents He has given to reflect His beautiful gift of praise in song. Absolutely lovely and inspiring!
