This is the Alto 1 part on "Sleep" for Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir, sung by Maureen. This is my first (and maybe only...?) YouTube video, but I am thrilled to participate in this amazing project! Eric Whitacre is awesome. To put it lightly.

  • You have a stunning, amazing voice. Please tell me you were chosen and are in the Sleep virtual choir.

  • @StacyNYC @StacyNYC Thank you!! I was indeed in the virtual choir for both the "Sleep" experiment (this video) and the "Sleep" video that's currently online (my only other video), but everyone who submitted a video at the correct time and with the correct specifications was included :)

  • Just so you know- This was the third video listed when I searched for simply "virtual choir sleep." Maureen Maureen Maureen ACTION SINGER: "SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP sleep sleep sle..sle...." CUT! Maureen Maureen Maureen.

  • @bstoneUPS HAHA I literally just died. I can't believe you FOUND me here... but can we talk about why my video is third?! what

  • Gorgeous voice! Just wondering-- I thought Whitacre pieces were required to be sang in straight-tone...

  • @AChimpNamedSlickback Thanks! I saw Eric speak once, he does prefer his pieces straight-tone (for purer blended sound - it also often makes for more beautiful, tuned chords, but it's also quite a bit more noticeable when you go slightly off the pitch), but singing straight-toned is not a requirement per se. I find it very difficult to sing straight tone so I tried to just sing the best I could!

  • @maureenl923 Oh, that's nice to hear, that they included as many people as they could basically.

  • I liked the extra vibration (vibrato) in there. You do great wobbling and great singing. Keep it up.

  • it is a beautiful and mysterious experience watching these individual efforts. Just beautiful, sweetheart.

  • Who knows why you're third, but it makes you awful easy to find!!!
