- Moving performance of Eric Whiteacre's When David Heard at TEDxLondon 2017.
Reverie is a contemporary vocal ensemble, with particular expertise in presenting new music in creative and unusual formats. Founded by conductor Robbie Jacobs in 2012, the group has designed and curated choral installations for The Princess of Wales Glasshouse at Kew Gardens, the ‘Samuel Pepys: Plague, Fire and Revolution’ exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, and has performed at some of the finest concert halls in London and abroad, including King’s Place, St John’s Smith Square, and City Hall, Hong Kong.
Reverie is committed to making new music accessible to a wide and diverse audience through engaging inventive programming, and its ongoing education work with young people across the UK. Reverie’s ‘The Rope and Glass Between Us - Pepys visits Pepys’ project was selected by Classical Music Magazine as their New Music pick of 2016.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Very nice try. Unfavorably, however, the acoustics (along with things in the room that apparently were able to vibrate) were not conducive to good results and may have influenced intonation and phrasing that could have been better. But the very dry acoustics situation did do a good job of revealing clearly just how tight Eric's voicings are. The proof of what I'm saying is that whenever silence in the piece comes, we can actually hear something in the room ringing with an indefinite pitch in sympathetic vibration. That sympathetic ringing likely helped to interfere with and taint the performance. Put these singers in a cathedral, and I'll bet you'd get great results. Around the eleven-minute mark, the soprano line just happened to come out SPECTACULAR, but then wound up wavering.
Exactly right. It also doesn't help that the microphones that are recording these singers are, at best, purchased at Wal-Mart.
Hearing that damn iphone ding at one point.
I listened to many versions of this and this is one of my favorites. I think the lack of acoustic embellishments, if this were the case, enhanced the authenticity of the raw unembellished sinkhole of feelings that accompany the death of a child, which I have experienced. Thank you for the catharsis.
This literally brought me to tears
Most times I listen to this song that happens
always does
Proof of why I'm glad that I didn't become a choir director like I used to want to be: I think this sounds beautiful and can't hear the issues y'all are hearing 😅
Awesome.
sounds nervous and sharp.
mr vengeance do you know what sharp means?
Sharp means higher in pitch, but it can also mean tonality. And you could argue it’s sharp in both ways.
soooo
People who cough and leave their phone on....
I had the fortune of singing this amazing play 2 years ago. This version is totally without balance and goes unnecessary fast. Sopranos hide the rest of the voices many times. For moments I feel a "stringendo" like the director wants to finish the play as soon as possible. I really don't like this version at all. Despite of all I said, there are two ir three really nice voices in this choir.
Sharp and one tenor is drowning out everyone. Really only Whitacre can perform Whitacre....also his name is spelled WHITACRE. Simple google search, lazy poster.
Justin Bieber era is so boring but I wish i could feel and understand clasical music.
What helps with understanding classical and art music is looking into its background.
This piece is about David finding out about his son, Absalom, being killed. What makes the piece especially powerful, however, is knowing that this was right after Absalom cut his father from his life, killed his brother (a whole other thing there) and then trying to kill David to take his throne. When King David found out his son was dead, he cried out to go saying he wishes it was him instead of Absalom who died, because his loce for Absalom was so strong that even in everything, he recognized that he lost his child. The puece ultimately reflects the unconditional love of a parent.
Give the youtuber Sideways a watch. He's helped me understand and appreciate all music - but especially complex pieces like this - a whole lot more.
@@elfinvale Thank you so much for mentioning this! I watched his video on Pixar music and absolutely loved it, now I have like 20 more of his videos in my watch later list, and am of course subscribed. Thanks again 💛
@@cael_aj hey, i appreciate it!! glad to have helped ^_^ i love sharing knowledge!!
Why did y'all perform this here ☠️
This sounds horrible. Try singing this in a cathedral, or some other environment with better acoustics. Horrendous performance.
