[baniyas2011]

fucking video

[1purelight]

Thats great,

I had to practice my piece for a year, The Witnesses Prelude, check out the pictures from God they are Unbelievable. How long did this piece take to record?

God Bless

[AlbertaGamer]

OK, the forecast for Christmas is +8.

Ummmm..... Winter?

[twilightsparkle101]

Thanks for all the tips! The song itself is probably enough to warm me up though...:)

[karmatakoda]

Also just heard this on CBC . . ran home to find it and send to EVERYONE ! Totally Brilliant ! New National Anthem ? Why Not !

[MarleneBomer]

Once again, the Canadians show the world they *do* have a culture, dammit! They aren't American's hat...

[IdN73]

Brilliant!

[AmyranthLovely]

How many takes did you have to do before everyone could get through the whole song without laughing? Incredibly well done, and it gave me the giggles. :D

[TourismCalgary]

@AmyranthLovely It took 5 takes! The CPO Chorus is so talented... pretty much every take was perfect.

[ryazdi]

@TourismCalgary When we (Nur FIlms) was editing the footage we were amazed at how perfect each take was.

[herrsun1]

@AmyranthLovely 叫你们说英文咱来点汉语你们也看不懂哈哈

[herrsun1]

@herrsun1 弥撒还是很好听滴

[herrsun1]

@AmyranthLovely 用了一个下午翻墙，终于冲出中国走向世界啦

[7LiverpoolSuarez]

At the end if you listen closely the conductor says well that was good, David. That's my dad, what a guy.

[ebonirion]

You gotta just 3 Canadians. :3

[Coastcrawler]

Cool, no... HOT Video with fantastic Music. What a nice idea and a perfect realization.

West wishes for christmas and a happy new year from Germany

[Qermaq]

Awesome, this needs more buzz.

[ejourneys]

This is BRILLIANT! Not only are these "keep warm" tweets sung to "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, but the syllabic sounds closely parallel the original Latin!

[AncaBoieru]

Awesome !!!

[justpiper]

Absolute Genius! Applause!!!

[TourismCalgary]

@justpiper Thank you!!

[TxMoniD]

Love you all the way down in Texas =) Beautiful Music!!

[TourismCalgary]

@TxMoniD Sending you tons of love back from Calgary! Thanks for watching!

[iNfEchelon]

Just seen this on the news. LOL!

[DouglasJay1964]

Go Cananda,

Love Michigan

[JoshClements22]

The song is in french, no? Parodical, yes, entertaining ,yes-- they're giving all the credit to the wrong reason. Damn media.

[fgonzalez43]

@JoshClements22

It's in medieval Latin. A collection of the Goliard songs set to music by Orff.

[JoshClements22]

A beautiful song, O Fortuna-- along with Era- The Mass. WHY would they butcher this song wtf?!

[tupkat82]

This is sooo cute! Thanks for the Christmas cheer.

[espeysoldman]

Brilliant! Love the CPO & the Jack Singer!

[breakingthisdown]

Aw, this was cute! =}!

[dasalekhya]

people ask me how do CANADIANS survive such harsh winters --------- well, THIS IS HOW WE DO IT, folks -------- by making fun of it!!

[flungingpictures]

B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T

Our new winter national anthem!!!!!

Heard this today on CBC Radio 1st, then on The National....

[TourismCalgary]

@flungingpictures WOO! A national winter anthem?!?! We feel so honoured! Thanks!

[GeorgeJimmyandRalph]

how does one bring themselves to click the dislike button on something as hilarious as this?

[jnurin]

One of my fav. pieces! (Performed it many times). These lyrics are WAY tamer and calmer (and warmer!) than the original... I don't think Orff would mind...

[GaiaHedonia]

Lovely!!

[MsRe52]

wonderful performance I am so glad that the Calgary Philharmonic are being noticed . Calgary EPCOR Centre is incredible. There is more to Calgary than the Calgary Stampede!!

[ampopot23]

what is the title of the original SONG ....!!

[TourismCalgary]

@ampopot23 The title of the original song is O Fortuna

[naughtycanuck]

Makes me damn awesomely proud to be Canadian.

[spellingable]

So glad I got to perform with CPO :)

[dmboras]

Brilliant! O Fortuna was playing on CBC while my son was being born (he's 14 now); we've made it his official birthday song. I just played this for him. Thanks for creating another great memory. I'll never hear it the same way again!

[TourismCalgary]

@dmboras WOW! O Fortuna would make an epic birthday song! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[dressup154]

I never thought I'd hear 'Gravy action on my cheese' set to O Fortuna.

And yet it makes so much sense...

[TourismCalgary]

@dressup154 We couldn't agree more! Hmm...now we're craving Poutine...

[whothehellisthat]

~epic~

Anyone else thinking of the "Death Note" anime track to this tune? ;P

[Verdipolitikk]

Svært bra!

[LLRobinett]

Where the heck is this being performed. That organ is magnificant. That would make the one in Salt Lake City look puny.

[TourismCalgary]

@LLRobinett The performance was filmed in the Jack Singer Concert Hall in the Calgary EPCOR Centre. It is where the CPO regularly performs!

[garycalgary]

wow this made it on cnn. Didn't think they cared about us unless it was dirty oil. I heard about this on 2 newscasts and finally found it...

fantastic job, wonder where it was filmed or videotaped or whatever the hell you call it

[TourismCalgary]

@garycalgary The performance was filmed in the Jack Singer Concert Hall in the Calgary EPCOR Centre. It is an incredible venue for music!

[Vistadeck]

Thank you for using my tweets!!!!!!! This is awesome! I'll never think of my black silk long underwear and little down vest the same way again !!! - amazing job everyohne :) See you at the next performance - I go all the time, that keeps me warm at heart all winter ! @VistaDeck

[daharja]

I hope you do all stay warm! From Leanne in New Zealand!

[rmarca1]

Bravo CPO Chorus! Excellent job!

[abisfun]

BRAVO!!

[kkkkristen100]

This is fantastic!! I wonder how many of the choir members know what Tweets are...

[Jessica13Smith]

Just saw this on the news, and thought it was phenomenal.. Aweh, man.. Calgary is the best.. :).

[justlikemuzik1]

whats that song originally?

[grajiv04]

@justlikemuzik1 O Fortuna (Carmina Burana)

[TourismCalgary]

@grajiv04 You're a genius ;) Thanks for answering the question!

[TourismCalgary]

@justlikemuzik1 The tweets are set to the classic piece "O Fortuna" from the legendary Carmina Burana!

[jemappelkatie]

shoulda thrown in some hashtags ;)

[Pextin]

This is a FANTASTIC idea ;) also just saw it on tv, and im watching it again cuz i liked it so much ^__^

Great job guys!

[TourismCalgary]

@Pextin Thank you so much!

[sheilaboyd2008]

Just watched the segment on CNN! Great job folks!

[TourismCalgary]

@sheilaboyd2008 Thank you so much! We're so honoured and happy that CNN was able to feature it!

[owemunar]

As a chorister, I'm pretty psyched at the interest our project has generated! It was quite fun to sing!

[TourismCalgary]

@owemunar You did an amazing job setting the tweets to the music! Big thanks to you and your team for all of your hard work!

[divabat]

bahahahahhahaha this is AWESOME. hello from relatively-warmer Brisbane Australia!

[SeanPerrin]

This is excellent! Makes me want to get a Twitter account!

[officialcalgarytower]

Love it! 

[MarleneHielema]

Great promo! Nicely done.

[AlexGP90]

.... *speechless*......*big smile on my face*

[TourismCalgary]

@AlexGP90 *BIG smile on our faces* too! Thanks!

[KingOfNewYorkHacks]

BRAVISSIMO !!!

[RebornAc3]

Very well done, it was entertaining.

[Nakira64]

haha that was amazing!! Good job!

[TourismCalgary]

@Nakira64 Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[darobsta]

You've got this glorious looking organ in the background and you went for piano accompaniment only? Easier to mic, sure, but it seems like a bit of a waste. That said, I enjoyed the content very much!

[gamerzerox]

@darobsta The organ is much more difficult to set-up, whereas the Piano is a quick elevator ride up and needed for more of the CPO's set-ups.

[darobsta]

THANKS FOR THE TIPS / THEY WERE USE-FUL / CHUR BRO YOUS FUL-LAS SING GOOD

[batosato]

Tweeting sounds so dramatic

[skyhawk4571]

Beautiful. This made my day. lol.

[ItaloCanadese]

This has created a solid smile on my face.

[TourismCalgary]

@ItaloCanadese YAY! Glad to hear it! Solid smiles are exactly what we're looking for!

[007luckyclover]

what is the tune the tweets are set to called? i always here it but never got around to figuring out what it's actually called lol

[TourismCalgary]

@007luckyclover The tweets are set to the classic piece "O Fortuna" from the legendary Carmina Burana!

[bloomsums]

THIS is so uplifting I heard the choir in Oct at the T.,concert as a birthday gift from my 3 children and now a friend on FB sent me this tweet. They put on a world class exhibition of voices and now I heard them this sunny winter day...How lucky is that!!!!!!

[TourismCalgary]

@bloomsums We are thrilled this video warmed your heart and the CPO Chorus brought a little extra sunshine to your winter day!

[DramaGrrl1]

Yay!! My Mom is in there singing!!

[TourismCalgary]

@DramaGrrl1 Woo-hoo! Must be awesome to have a singing sensation in the family. :)

[SolsticeSteph]

I love how many of these involve alcohol and hot beverages.

[Mkamalid]

lol
