"Sleep" by Eric Whitacre

In my Renaissance Art History and Theory class we were discussing "Splendor" as discussed by St. Bonaventure and the Gothic architect Suger. In the discussion we had a considerable amount of interesting ideas exchanged and splendor was brought up as it pertained to all the arts, not just visual arts.

I was then introduced to the contemporary composer Eric Whitacre, who's music I now considerably enjoy. I would love to hear your thoughts too. He started a series with a virtual choir which linked performers via youtube. This piece "Sleep" was performed by over 2,000 people using technology to link souls through music. Enjoy

Also interesting is his first virtual choir piece "Lux Aurumque".
