Introducing Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 3 - Water Night

[MsKittycam101]

Ya so i missed getting in because i did not submit early enough ........ so when is the next one coming out so i can submit to it and how can i be notified?

[MsKittycam101]

by the way i would really love to get in because i am trying out for a chior for high school soon and this would really help

[DarkPhoenic]

Yea... I somehow missed this as well - why did this not come up in the subscription feeds?

[BrittanyRose1991]

Dang it I wish I knew about this.

[therealKINDLE]

Oh Come on! Let these people in.. What's a week to someone who's passionate to make up the time? :( These Poor people. They really feel let down for being late. Disappointed with themselves. Please re-open it just 1 last time. I beg you.. For Arts sake. <3 Thank You <3

[roedtoggroent]

Also missed it. Even though I subscribe, the video didn't come up :(

[slowgold20]

NOOOO :( I missed it... I said I would do the next one last time.. and I missed it :(

[scribblehlh]

I missed it too! Is there any way we could be notified if and when 4.0 is due? I don't want to miss it again!

[darkiee69]

Damnd.... Missed it by a week. :o(

[samboy1288]

@darkiee69 ditto. NEXT TIME!

[anakinfan12002]

Can't wait to hear this! Good luck to everyone that participated!

[heartdiver123]

I wanted to do this so badly, but I didn't find out about it until today. I'm going to cry now. :'( Anyways, I'm sure it'll be just as beautiful as it always is.

[StarryEyedWolf]

You've got to be kidding me....I'm a day late >_> NOOOO!!! I'm praying so hard that Mr. Whitacre will make a 4th choir *crosses fingers and toes, grabs box of Lucky Charms* Please please please!!

[goatgoesbahhhhhh]

@StarryEyedWolf Its not late, entry isn't closed, he's reopened it until tomorrow at 11am. I just found out about this today myself, so I'm working on the audition as we speak.

[StarryEyedWolf]

@goatgoesbahhhhhh Sadly, I still missed it since I was at school >_<

[owen281194]

Entry closed an hour ago?! Brb, slitting wrists.

[EdmondDantesLeComte]

Oh god.. 2 day? I don't know if I can get it down in time. >////<; Wish me luck people~! I want in on this action...

[lalasingerpr]

challenge accepted :P

[ferka07]

I don' like this song its unlike his normal stuff its too boring. I what I love about Eric is that he knows how to distribute judicially the dissonance. In this its almost all dissonance which takes away all the suspense that it creates so it Kind of defeats the purpose to have thaaaat muuchh of it, but anywho enjoy it people

[TehDarkflash]

So who here actually has posted their video?

[rebekahwilson483]

Is it weird that I'm 13 and listen to loads of rock, metal etc. but REALLY wanna take part in this?

[TehDarkflash]

@rebekahwilson483 Not at all.

[Alecoz2]

@rebekahwilson483 Not at all. :) go for it!

[doomster345]

It's times like these I wish my singing didn't sound so much like screeching xD Hahahaa this sounds like a wonderful opportunity and, if the last 2 are anything to go by, I'm absolutely sure that this one is going to be amazing. Good luck to everybody participating (not that you'll need it, I'm sure) and hope you guys have fun!!

[dallaschick95]

I want to do this, but all the parts are singing together, so I can't tell at which pitch i'm supposed to be singing! :(

[RyukonoTsuki]

@dallaschick95 I understand your pain. I *think* I was the Soprano 1 part back when I did this in Highschool, but that was over ten years ago and my voice is NOT as high as it used to be. So if I wanted to participate, I'm going to have to go lower. I'm thinking of transposing JUST the voicepart I choose into Finale Notepad, or plunking the notes out on the piano the old-fashioned way...

[anakinfan12002]

@dallaschick95 you sing your own part on your own video and submit the video and they put it in with the rest. Although now they might have live practices with google. Not sure.

[americasgottalent97]

EXCITED!!! But i do need help with learning the bass 1 part! Anyone know where these seminars are? Thanks!

[naminememoryprincess]

thank you. so, so much. my heart is going to burst frm the happiness!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

[DJRezeRez3]

Ok so When I get my Dream home and land I'm definitely gonna be playing this song when I walk into the house at night.

[CharlieBladeRemus]

I'm pumped to do this one!!!!!!

[AltoAnonymous]

Our whole choir is doing this...... #pumped!

[MissKeyszz]

SO EXCITED.

[POLYPHONYOFMYHEART]

I'm just speechless. You could say fate had a hand in this, to bring the world together. Can't wait to make my video(s). Water Night!!! Woohoo!

[militantbro]

WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! This is what i call Choir geeks UNITE!!! :D

[mlr2107]

Words can't express how epic this going to be...especially at the "open your eyes" part..so pumped!!! lol

[denzl11]

I think Eric and Hila should do it also

[vmplvrbll]

SO INCREDIBLY PUMPED

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME RIGHT NOW

BUT IT'S OKAY<333333

who else is super excited for this?!?!?!?!?!

8D

[Neekolassify]

@vmplvrbll

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!! I WAS SO EXCITED I CRIED <3

[SharonLougheed]

Okay, so the new virtual choir REQUIRES a webcam?! I was going to use my camcorder and microphone... both of very good quality... but I guess I can't now... :(

[SharonLougheed]

@SharonLougheed Oops! I just saw the plan B thing! Yay! :D This is going to be fun!

[kitai03]

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!



[Theworldforacountry]

You go, Eric! I'm so excited!!

[rrswimmer16]

Is anyone else squealing like a fanboy/fangirl?

[jdcool038]

I loved singing this song in high school and I still enjoy it.

[SuperCulby]

I can't sing very well, but I'm joining!

[menace391]

...And i am participating!!! Now,just to wait for a Virtual Band. How cool would that be?

[FitzEm08]

It's SNOWING on the video!

[cookies516]

I'm pumped!

[MrFFilbert]

is it too late for me to join? it's gonna be my first time

[AtrejusBestFriend]

@MrFFilbert Of course not. Just click on the link in the description of the video and you're in. You need to record your entry until 31st January so theres a lot of time left to practise =) It's gonna be awesome! Have fun :)

[youtbsucks]

about bloody time he released another piece! can't wait.

[SweetMissBisou]

YES YES YES YES YES! I'm in!

[idisagreewiththat]

I remember singing this in choir! Time to be part of this!

[chore30]

this is too good!!

[eddiesamuel1]

Darn, we have to buy the music. Oh well! I have a job now! :D

[Icyveins906]

@eddiesamuel1 No you don't it's in the practice videos on the site!!!

[eddiesamuel1]

@Icyveins906 Yes, but I can't hear the tenor part. I blame my poor sightsinging ability. I think I heard he released individual PDFs for each vocal part.

[JustTiffayy]

@eddiesamuel1 It's true it's true!! (:

[justie1220]

@eddiesamuel1 IF you go to the virtual choir page, The practice video has the part scrolling across the bottom as you sing. :)

[justie1220]

@justie1220 Sorry about the IF.. Shift key has a nasty habit of sticking.

[rmarca1]

Hip hip hooray! I also missed out on the last two. Looking forward to learning my part. Thank you for offering us this opportunity, Mr. Whitacre.

[SSCdurian1]

EEEEEEEKKKK! So excited! I missed the last two, but I hope to be part of these two.

[imaqt955]

I shrieked when I saw this in my subscriptions box. My boyfriend thought I was nuts!!!!!! I am SO FREAKING EXCITED!

[jondemusiq]

@imaqt955 Me too!! I screamed and jumped all over the dinning room. My grandma than asked what happened. I'M SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

[BrianShinMusic]

Would you be willing to put up music sheet?! O: It's easier for me to learn parts if I can play them on piano and the single lines in the video makes it a little difficult D:

But I'm SOOOOOOO excited!!!!!

[preslaysa614]

@BrianShinMusic on the website under resources, there is a PDF available of your particular voice part. that can be printed.

[cola625]

i can't wait!!!!! i've been wanting to do this for forever!!!

[SSCdurian1]

@cola625 Me too!

[spotoftrouble]

I'm up for this SO BADLY :')

[stupidboy32]

Let's go!, Texas Allstater here gonna audition for this for the first time

[withoutxaxprayer]

My university choir sang this piece my sophomore year (in 2009-2010) and I still remember my soprano part perfectly (especially at the 14 part divisions!) I'm SUPER excited to be able to join in with the choir geeks of the world to perform this gorgeous piece, and I've encouraged my fellow university choir members to do the same!

[FitzEm08]

Can't wait to record! I havent sung in so long though! Time to warm up! <3

[kittysuperhero]

I can't wait....if only my throat can get better right this instant and let me sing...urgh sore throats...

[ryang256]

Looking forward to participating in this.... though I still wish the chosen piece had been Alleluia!!

[racheltaylor101]

The song gave me goosebumps already... I'm so excited!

[ygupta16]

sososo excited <3



[aeternamente13]

As a low alto, I love Water Night especially because I get the chance to sing some lady-bass. :D

[maxpowermezzo]

Yay, Eric!! Shawn's and I are there, buddy! -Monica

[Annikella]

It's one of my favourite pieces of yours Mr Whitacre. I look forward to become good enough to sing it, this is goint to be amazing. Best of luck everybody!

[botuts]

Alright you heard the man, lets do this!

[ashgoneootsa]

DONE DONE and DONE regardless if I'm even in this masterpiece!!! I cannot wait to revisit my favorite choral piece of ALL TIME! Geeked out.

[LoveLikeHim13]

I can be part of this one! YAY! xD (I missed out on the last two...). Thank you so much Mr. Whitacre :D

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

@LoveLikeHim13 Me too! I've been sick every single time it's happened, but not this year! *knock on wood*

[rspeaker100]

@LoveLikeHim13 I did too, I saw this one and thought It missed it as well

[rachellesproul]

Sooooo excited! "Choir geeks of the world unite!"♥

[alagarath]

Count me in! Choirs 1 & 2 blew me away and strengthened my views on music's power over people. Music ignores all borders and brings people together. Truly phenomenal.

[beaglemusic]

Oh oh!!!! I want to do this! I so need this now with the way my life is right now. I'm caring for my husband, who has a brain tumor, and he really wants me to do this. So I do it. For him.

[chaoskitty1256]
