Eric Whitacre's Deep Field - A Tribute in Images
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2015
- In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope captured one of the most influential and humbling images in history - the Hubble Deep Field. The image covers a speck of the sky only about the width of a dime seen from 75 feet away. The exposure lasted 10 consecutive days, or approximately 150 orbits.
Though the field is a very small sample of the heavens, it is considered representative of the typical distribution of galaxies in space, because the universe, statistically, looks largely the same in all directions. Gazing into this small field, Hubble uncovered a bewildering assortment of at least 1,500 galaxies at various stages of evolution.
Deep Field was premiered with the Minnesota Orchestra & Minnesota Chorale on 8 May 2015 in Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis, conducted by Eric. The second performance & European premiere took place at the BBC Proms on 9 August at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Singers & BBC Chorus, once again conducted by Eric.
To create a sound worthy of the Deep Field images, Eric had the idea to take advantage of the speakers in the room - the phones of his fans. For a composition this ambitious in scope, Eric felt that he’d need to include everyone in the audience. So instead of reminding his audience to turn off their phone for the performance, he directs them to pump up the volume and play along.

I sang on this one. My name's in the credits at the end. This old lady used my cheapo cellphone and videoed myself in one take and sent it off to Eric. He is way ahead of his time! This video also resides in the Smithsonian Institute!
This has potential for a great sci fi movie and when the choir comes in. Goosebumps. Images are fantastic
I heard that cough at the end and chatter. Must be a studio recording of this.
Music that beautifully describes the human wonderment when considering the vastness and enormity of the universe......how small we feel...... yet our brains are the most complex thing we know ....and although the universe is vast.....it's processes are simple compared to us
I just love the music of Eric Whitacre. when I awoke after the last chords of 'sleep' , I was illuminated by 'Sure on this shining night', my choice of all his works. Classics such as 'When David heard' and. 'Cloudburst' haunt me! Thanks youtube once again!
Sure on this shining light is by Morten Lauridson...as well as a few others..not Whitacre yet..
VIRTUAL CHOIR 5 2018!!!!
SO EXCITED
zilam98 sameee
yes ^_^
I was in it too!
If they could record this someplace other than the emphysema ward this would be awesome.
You literally made me spit my water out I’m laughing so hard LOL!!!
Wow! More people need to see this... Awe inspiring and well done. 👍😯
Thanks! Thanks so much. My all time favourite piece of music. Magical images
For me it's one of the Eric's greatest pieces - I love those intense, ecstatic build-ups. I also wonder if Whitacre was in some way inspired by Gyorgy Ligeti's pieces such as Atmospheres or Lontano. Especially the timbre of woodwind/brass clusters sounds similar to me. Thank you for this upload!
I remember laying in the snow, making snow angels with my childhood friend, Theresa. I could hear the snow crunching in my ears as I lifted my shoulders and arms to create the Angel's Wing on the freshly, fallen snow. I could see the clouds partying in the darkened sky, and the wonderment of the beautiful stars twinkling from afar off, like diamonds in black velvet. It all seemed surreal. The cold, bite of the snow beneath me, and the beckoning light that flickered waaaay up there in the cold, deepness of space, saying to me, You are not alone. That's what this music reminds me of.
You should be a writer
Amazing how you can repeat a 3 note pattern over 23 minutes and still make it exciting!
Just heard a live recording of this on BBC R3 as I was driving home. Just amazing :)*edit* Turns out it was this recording :D
I wonder how awesome this would be at one of the IMAX theaters I'm talkin full volume, full effect,full everything!!!! I'm sitting here shaking thinking about it!!! Oh and to my fellow virtual choir members I am part of virtual three and this one so kudos to all my fellow choir members all over the world!! Yes!!!This is what you call music babies!!! This is what you call music,,. Praise God almighty!!!!!
To Mr. Whitacre and to all of the choir members stay safe guys don't let this pandemic have any more of us than it is taken already stay safe!!
I like it. Whitacre chords with a primitive style like Stravinsky
Beautiful.
Brilliant.
gorgeous
I have always enjoyed the music of Eric Whitacre, and this is a brilliant concept, which is quite enjoyable. I did feel however that the sequence of astronomical images faltered from time to time, and I have viewed much smoother transitions in other such inspired videos, but nevertheless an inspirational video :)
This music really makes the universe seem terrifying
Terrifyingly gargantuan!
MY GOD!!!!!
Genius.
The coughing in this vid is nothing compared to when I first heard this and the woman next to me was talking over the entire performance. It took all of my concentration to not commit murder that night...
Wolfgang Drachenberg
You should have turned around to the woman who would not stop talking and stared her in the eye ...and told her politely "if you want to have a
conversation then go outside"
If not ...then shut the fuck up !!!!!
There's a special place in hell for those who cough during beautiful points in music.
eggzakree
Eh. Not that big of a deal.
HEHEHEHE
Hey, for me its a nervous tick! Started when I had a cold during the spring concert in high school. This girl had the Kyrie solo and we just had to stand there, but I had this dang tickle in my throat! And it Wouldn't go away!
In a piece that long in a crowd that large, that's what you get.
WoW!
good.... no advert
...AND a cell phone at the end! Goodness me. Other than that, wow.
**Coughing** "Oooh, what constalation is _that_?"
Lol
This reminds me of De Natura Sonoris!
+looney1023 Yeah, I get a similar feeling to Penderecki...
This one is genius.
¿Which one is the globular nebula at 14:48?
My name is Sepasi. Question ? Can I use parts of your video, starts and universe. I am doing stars and universe video.

Sepasi

Hello Mr Whitacre yes it's me again. Look I'm going to go ahead and say what it is I have to say and I'm going to try not to take up too much of your time and hopefully by some chance you'll get a chance to read this or whatever the case may be. But what I'm going to say is that at some point you need to re-release this stuff or remaster it and put it back out there I know you had it on TH-cam and all these other online accounts and that's great but this stuff is got to go further than this and what I mean is that I know you have been noticing this world and all the people that you see in the fear and the fight that people are having with this pandemic. I have been in music and Ministry all of my life but it is something about the music that you write that keeps me and probably thousands of others coming back to, it coming back to it and for whatever reason that is I just don't know. But I will say this God has given you something special and all I can say is that I wish in my heart of hearts that I could write and arrange like you. but you know there's an old saying he who has great ability also has great responsibility!! Look whatever it is you have to do get this stuff to every planetarium to every IMAX theater to whatever you need to do because right now this is the stuff that people really need to hear . it puts you in the mind of being at Heaven's Door weigh and right now this is what people really need this is good stuff man it's great stuff please sir don't stop take this stuff man as far as you can take it!! as we say in my neck of the woods let the Lord use you!! look I'm done saying what I have to say and I hope I didn't bore you too much but I just wanted to say that because it was in my heart to say that to you you are probably one of the greatest this generation has ever seen and heard by all means man please keep it up Don't Stop we need stuff like this and we need composers like you because you give us inspiration. Look sir take care and be safe and to all of the choir members will the virtual or your singers and you to be safe don't let this pandemic take out any more of us than it has taken we got more work to do and at some point hopefully I get a chance meet you,, just shake your hand and say that's what I'm talkin about,,! God bless you brother keep up the good work.
Hi Austin. This is not the Eric Whitacre's channel. You can write him in his twitter or facebook pages. Cheers!
5:10 some genius though, I know, lets cough here..
+Toby Bull hahahahaahahah it sounds like from inception!!!!!!!!
+Toby Bull haahaha cough cough
Satan
omg, what a cheap creativity is done here by the composer. what a youtube-kind-a piece of music is this? huble telescope did first-rate job, not can I say about the composer. and what's next - to connect our blood vessels to the composer's computer and dream his dreams, breath his air? people are educated, people are smart and hate to be cheap.
Pro Musician4 Please tell me you're trolling...
Ben Parker certainly, but appreciate that someone called it out. How much of a loser-nobody div would you have be to give yourself such an over-compensating alias as "Pro Musician4" anyhow... that's if their spelling and grammar alone aren't enough of an indication ^_^
+Pro Musician4 Pity.
As a composer of orchestral and choral music myself I am fully aware of what Eric has created here, and it is true to his creative soul and is a major achievement. I applaud him for capturing the harmonies of the spheres. You, Sir, have exposed yourself to be a pompous ass. "Pro" musician, hardly..
so all i hear is you saying that YOU'RE THE COUGHER!!!
Thanks! Thanks so much. My all time favourite piece of music. Magical images
