I went to High School with the composer. He always had nice hair.

I don't like the fact that in seemingly every video that has any relevance to God on Youtube there seems to be a debate between Atheists and Theists where both are getting angry at each other. This music is what we are here for, not to get annoyed at someone with different views.

Some people believe that talent is God given, others think there is no God to give, but that doesn't stop the fact that Whitacre has composed this incredible piece, with or without God, and he deserves thanks for that.

This piece of music by Mr Eric Whitacre Lux Aurumque is amazing, it works very well in Westminster Cathedral sung by the Choir because of the acoustics of the Grand Building and the abilities of such a well trained Choir, lets leave it at that. music in all its shapes and forms are for us all to enjoy. dont fight over it, enjoy it. This is beautiful music.

Personally, I don't believe in God, but, then again, I don't have a problem with those who do. Can we not just agree to disagree? Anyway, one thing we can all agree on is that this piece of music is simply divine and it gives me goosebumps!! xD

@meiguoren777 it is your responsibility to prove your theory, if the existence of a deity is anything can be regarded as a scientific theory indeed. Science never has the responsibility to prove anything which is not a hypothesis which comes out of observation. And yes, chemicals and inspirations drawn from things around us had inspired us for centuries. Not god.

I'll admit I'm an atheist, but I truly do feel some connection with the concept of divinity when I listen to this. Like when I listen to it I think of the end of all things, and peacefully leaving this existence, and being in touch with the highest level of understanding and enlightenment. Thank you Eric Whitacre.

@hotelflamingo who, me?

@SuperCulby - pea brained fool you are ..

[hotelflamingo]

@meiguoren - God does not exist. You just want entertainment. You deceive yourself. I have a brilliant life since I dumped this mumbo jumbo religion, all based on fantasy and designed to manipulate.

[SuperCulby]

@meiguoren777 Did I specifically say for YOU to stop shoving religion down people's throats? No. I didn't.

I asked for everyone to just stop and listen to the music, but if you want to ASSUME that I'm taking jabs at you, then that's your own fault.

How ignorant and rude of you to hope for a song to make me convert. I'm sorry you think music works that way.
