Eric Whitacre is a composer and conductor working out of LA. The IWS has played his “October” and “Noisy Wheels of Joy” before and had fun with them. Recently, though, he has managed to put together his love of composing and conducting with current technology and created something beautiful, original, and beautifully original. The Virtual Choir.
The idea is rather simple: Write a piece of music, send the music out into the world where people can record themselves performing each piece, and then bring those pieces together into a single musical performance.
Last year’s project was called “Lux Aurumque.” It brought together 185 voices from 12 countries in this ethereal performance.
