[tonDemonAI22]

Es ist einfach nur wunderbar, könntest du nochmehr solcher Lieder machen?

Also andere Lieder, so gut gemacht wie dieses?

Is is really wunderful, could you make more of those songs?

Other songs, but so well done, like these on?

Thank you very much for such a good song...^^

Tonight we will perform it together with 700 singers including the NDR Choir and many students at St. Michaelis church in Hamburg/Germany. That will be a great experience

[AlexTheCores]

@maiwork6666666 You must live a very very sad and lonely life. And with that attitutude, you more than deserve it.

[maiwork6666666]

@AlexTheCores Actually, trolling all of you awe-struck flamingos makes every day bright and happy, and my bitterness is all I need. Thanks for looking out, though!

[miss0chaos]

This is beautiful; I wish the whole song had been included.

[highlander38]

I weep with absolute joy every time I hear this.. I am overcome..

[jillmaxi]

[Xurbia]

[forgexogus]

there are no instruments that can match the human voice

[Loryos]

These dissonnances, they bring whole new colors of sound, representing very well Light and Gold, in a very non-materialistic way...

[Russianeer]

Reminds me of Lord of the Rings.

[winonawildcat62]

Were playing this price in our high school band. This is the only price I love playing cause it's so beautiful

[KyrieEleison46]

It is like a choir of angels singing. There is nothing better than beautiful voices joining together. The video is beautiful.

[singerdreamer0991]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better. How do you do it, Mr. Whitacre? You have the vision of... Well, like no other musician I've ever listened to. Keep it up, although I don't think I need to say that. =)

[Madrabran]

[MrJmg071769]

Nice! You got the choir in there too! Good man!

Amazing!

[withasmileandasong]

perfect

[BananaAnna2008]

Absolutely gorgeous! It's always a treat to the ears to listen to musical beauty such as this!

[derbydrummer]

First comment. Love the video and the piece of course! Very ethereal...Lux...

[Skeluz]

Really good. But I have to say that I liked it a bit better with no people in the video. You could just dream away in the gorgeous animations - thanks to the music.

[OrbiliusMagister]

@Skeluz It took Eric Whitacre to have the art usually employed for modern videoclips used for a classical piece. Let me write in capitals: MORE "VIDEOCLIPS" LIKE THIS!

If we accept Lady Gaga wrapped in latex and stuff in her videos I just dub Eric's "blonde blending" in the visual environment as "very very mild showmanship" :D.

[Skeluz]

@OrbiliusMagister

Well put!

Here is the video without people: watch?v=4ty3HVeAkdc
