Crying so hard. This makes me miss choir so much. Thank you for bringing joy to a time like this, we all need something to remind us we can all get through this
I am so excited. This is my first time and I have admired Eric Whitacre's virtual choir for quite some time. This is seriously a huge honor for me. Thank you all for letting me be a part of such an incredible group. School choir got cancelled and so did all of our performances which was a big blow to me (in a bad way) because I have been in school choir for 8 or more years: I have lost track with all the joy of singing. So to be a part of VC6 is a huge honor and especially now this is what I needed
You have no idea the emotion this brings out in people......... I am brought to tears instantly with these voices that sound like heaven........ THANK YOU AND BRAVO SIR...........
We've sung some lovely Eric Whitacre in our choir, but after seeing a Ted Talk on the Virtual Choir I was fascinated. A perfect time to get involved. Song shines through the clouds.
I've been waiting for VC6 for 2 years and it's finally here! So very excited to be a part of this. I feel like I'm able to hug the world during this pandemic. Thank you Eric! You lifted my spirits, as I hope I am a part of lifting others.
This is so beautiful and so perfect for the world we’re living in right now. So hard to be together when we’re all apart. I’m so excited to be learning this!
As someone who is part of a choir, these projects have always been a dream of mine! They're like legends. I can't wait to finally be a part of an Eric Whitacre project!
@@MahtabMotahari I am so excited. This is my first time and I have admired Eric Whitacre's virtual choir for quite some time. This is seriously a huge honor for me. Thank you all for letting me be a part of such an incredible group
Oh my gosh--SO GORGEOUS! Gives me chills--thank you Eric--what an exquisitely beautiful piece!! I'll be attempting to do the soprano part--kind of a challenge at my age but what an honor to be a part of this beautiful, unifying endeavor. ❤️🙏🏽
WOW. This song is absolutely beautiful. I can't WAIT to send you my video! I'm only in tenth grade, but I love to sing and this song gives me the chills. Thank you :)
Hello Eric and wife. I am this kind of soprano, I do not have a lot of experience in chorus. Only with a School Choir since 4 years. My husband, told me that this virtual choir is only for experience singers. But I will do my best to stay in this Virtual Choir, It is my dream. And I think you make the dreams come true. If I do not enter to this 6th virtual choir, I hope to stay in the next. Thanks a lot, from Uruguay!
Thank you for this stunning new song.I heard about this new Virtual Choir project from out Choral Director who has participated herself in previous Virtual Choirs.I always thought it was something which I couldn’t participate in but lockdown has made me realise that it is well within my capabilities.I am hoping to upload my attempt before the 22nd May deadline.The music is so lovely and I enjoy singing it even if it is only alongside the tracks recorded for our benefit in the learning process.
I have been singing my soprano part while listening to the tenor part. It's fun. Really! I do the other way around as well. Love it, exploring this beautiful piece, at a rather unconventional way perhaps? Anyway, I enjoy it. Haven't uploaded my video. Yet. :-)
I need tips - how do I sing this without getting really emotional?! But for real, I'm so excited to record and submit this weekend. Such a beautiful song and I am thrilled and honored to be part of so meaningful a project!
Is anyone else having trouble pronouncing the word “singing” at 2:00? It’s a weird placement for that word and I don’t know where exactly to place the ging lol
I would like the score for sopranos please. Where can I find it? So that I may practise it at home on my own, since I'm a musician /composer/singer. Let me know.
SOMEONE HELP for SOP- on measure 33, the music reads as a half note and two quarter rests! But in the vocal track it sounds like a dotted half not and a single quarter rest (??) - which one do we sing for the recording?
If you mean, where you can find the sheet music, you'll need to go to virtualchoir6.com and officially join the choir. Once you have done that, the sheet music with all the parts will be available. I would reccommend going over each part just to see your own range. Which ever part suits you the most, is in your range, or is easier for you to sing, then I would go with that part.
Mr. Whitacre, you are a gift to the world.

This is answered on the VC6 website- any experience level is welcome. Saludos desde los EEUU ❤
Learning this song really helped me improve my singing and learn to relax when singing/ reduce strain.
I’m new to this, and I must say, Eric is so clear to follow!
Bella Bee I’m new to this as well!
Another beautiful piece. Second time singing in Virtual Choir after meeting Eric at TED in 2010 where he intoduced the conecpt.
This is so awesome...this is my first time and I pray I can justice to this piece.
This will be my first virtual choir, and I don't know if I will sing alto or sop, but either way I can't wait to be a part of this 💕
Do whichever one you're more comfortable with, or if you can't decide, the one with fewer singers.
Gorgeous! Calming! Perfect!
I'm torn. I have the range to do either soprano or alto and I cant decide which one I want to do. They're both so beautiful. Aaaahhhh!!
I know right, it's such a hard choice!!
We are allowed to submit one (1) video recording per voice type. So you can submit one in your Soprano voice and one in your Alto voice. Have fun!
This is my first time as well singing with a virtual choir. I have been working along with the video. Enjoying it thoroughly!
This project is helping feed my soul right now! 😊 I can’t wait to be a part. I’ve never done the Virtual Choir before. Lovely piece!

Thank you for the video! Very helpful. Best wishes from The Netherlands!
Thank you! I am signing up for this
This is so beautiful. Just wish I could sing.
Beautiful! This will be my first time to join 💕

haha I have been singing soprano while listening to the altos. I can confirm it's fun haha.
love this song so much :) I think I’ll go alto on this piece
So excited to learn this!!
Love! Thank you!!!
Wow this is incredible 🥺👌🏻💫 I can touch the emotions of the piece 🎼
I am so excited
my entire choir is participating in this i cant wait
I need tips - how do I sing this without getting really emotional?! But for real, I'm so excited to record and submit this weekend. Such a beautiful song and I am thrilled and honored to be part of so meaningful a project!
I wish i could be apart of this vc6 like i have been in the past but some life issues has stopped it.
amazing.
I love this
Can't waittttt 😍🎼
Is anyone else having trouble pronouncing the word “singing” at 2:00? It’s a weird placement for that word and I don’t know where exactly to place the ging lol
Same for me 😂
I would like the score for sopranos please. Where can I find it? So that I may practise it at home on my own, since I'm a musician /composer/singer. Let me know.
Go to the virtual choir website and sign up. Then you'll get a copy.
Edit: virtualchoir6.com
Beautiful! Where do we find the sheet music?
Virtualchoir6.com, he's got sheet music, his conducting, and his directions there too. :)
How can I participate in the choir? Would be a phenomenal experience
Thank Yo
SOMEONE HELP for SOP- on measure 33, the music reads as a half note and two quarter rests! But in the vocal track it sounds like a dotted half not and a single quarter rest (??) - which one do we sing for the recording?
Since he is conducting us with the singing track in the background and we are following him I assume the track is more reliable.
How did I miss this?!! Is it too late to join in? I've been waiting for so long 😭
You have until the 22
i literally hit the nay nay so hard
Hi can someone help me please I want to sing soprano but I’m a young man 23 years old how can I do that
It depends on your vocal range
If you mean, where you can find the sheet music, you'll need to go to virtualchoir6.com and officially join the choir. Once you have done that, the sheet music with all the parts will be available. I would reccommend going over each part just to see your own range. Which ever part suits you the most, is in your range, or is easier for you to sing, then I would go with that part.
I'm a mezzo, should I join Soprano or Alto?
I'd say whatever part is most comfortable in your range, and if both are more or less the same in that aspect, whichever one you like best!
For practice 2:05
