Virtual Choir Performs "Sleep" on YouTube

Remember those recordings I gave out for "Sleep" with all of your parts played out on the piano. Well I discovered something totally amazing today on YouTube.  Eric Whitacre, composer of "Sleep" is putting together a virtual choir where people are posting their recordings of "Sleep" on YouTube and then this other guy is going to sync up everybody's personal recordings to create a virtual choir.  How cool is that!!

What's even better is that you guys can listen to/watch people sing all of the 8 parts!!  Just go to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C9AB23725E447C5F&search_query=eric+whitacre%27s+virtual+choir

and then find your part, look at your music, and sing along!  

If you've lost your parts, no worries, just go to Eric Whitacre's blog at http://ericwhitacre.wordpress.com/2009/05/19/the-sleep-experiment-repost-of-the-score/ and you'll be able to download the music!

Extra credit if you post your own video to YouTube for the virtual choir....
