  • performed this with my college choir, and here I am looking it up on youtube just to hear again. I would say that counts and being an AWESOME piece of music.

  • Bravo rinascimento e modernità in unica composizione. 

  • @lightman369

    LMFAO that's beautiful! xD

  • My choir group is singing this. It's a huge challenge to learn but I can't wait to perform it. It's beautiful.

  • the first time they sing "machine" I just had to smile :) don't know why, but in the exact same moment Eric started to smile too :D just awesome

  • @limegut This is one of two pieces that have been announced. It was announced on their official Facebook page on December 29, 2011 at 4:02 pm. I can understand asking someone not to announce the entire show when it has not yet been publicly announced yet, but telling someone not to announce a piece that the corps announced is not quite fair. That being said, with this and Mackey's "Hymn to a Blue Hour" being two of the assumed four parts announced ... it's going to be a great year for SCV!

  • @tthomas292 ..exactly what i was thinking. Except unlike a cluster chord of whole steps which he seems to use a lot, it's all half steps! Awesome effect...

  • @BariBango It is my advice to you to not talk about shows until they are announced

  • @BariBango Really?!?!?!

  • Teacher handed this to us today, we are a non select 9-12 choir. Challenge Accepted!
