I just hope that I get to perform this song with one of my bands someday. Someday.

Who else is here for choir right now? We are doing this right now :)

Epic Sound and chorous. ❤ that song let me cry any time😢. Its so emotional. We will play it at the funeral of our beloved mum. 🎼she died at 20.09.24. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. 🫶 God bless you all! 🥀🍀🫶 Patti 🥹

I was fortunate to be a part of this, myself and about 17,000 other singers submitted our videos during Covid when it was unsafe to sing with our own choirs and chorales. Being able to participate and sing this beautiful music was a blessing. I am grateful.

I saw a post from Eric Whitaker and I had to come back to see this, after 14 years. I remember when I first heard this when I was 12/13 entering high school. Since that day the musical and personal growth/ opportunity has been insane. And since that day I've done exactly what the song says. Just fly. Later on, Jacob collier took my attention 😂 this masterpiece will always have my heart though. ❤

I am so humbly proud of being part of this beautiful piece we sang in the darkness of COVID-19 pandemic, bringing some joy through difficult times. Thank you, Eric Whitacre, for this wonderful experience!

We played this song as the visitors left my mom’s funeral a little over a year ago. She was an organist for over 50 years in the church where her funeral was held. I know she enjoyed the harmonies of this song and was smiling as all of her friends walked out of the church. She was a force and I miss her every day. ❤️

The one and only Jim Davis is in the tenor section and no I didn’t draw Garfield. 😂

Every single time I watch and listen to this video I can't help but get choked up and shed a few tears knowing and seeing all the people in the skyscraper windows who sang together. This is what I believe all those millions/billions in heaven will sound like singing at God's throne! If this doesn't move you to believing in Him then you need to get down on your knees and pray to be permitted to hear such a wonderous choir after you die. Fly to Paradise it the perfect title for it!

I was here 10 years ago - and here I am again. This song was and still is legendary. This track inspired me a whole lot on music production. Such an amazing production.

Separated by covid in 2020, united as one. Man it's 2024, 4 years ago and this is timeless to prove we can all be one in harmony 🙏🏼

En el año 2020 con el inicio de la pandemia fui operada de Cancer de mama.No fue hasta un mes despues, que un amigo me envia para el dia del amigo este hermoso coro que escuche de madrugada y llore por todo lo que no pude llorar desde el diagnostico.Cada vez que lo escucho siento que me dejo llevar por una luz inmensa que me apaña y protege.Hoy sigo de pie, agradecida a la Vida y atodos lo que de alguna forma me acompañaron

The best recording of this I have heard - just beautiful. Thank you

Put this on a gold record and leave it in a vault so that in the far distant future when someone or something finds we can say with pride "THIS is who we were. Despite everything we did, THIS IS WHO WE WERE AND WHAT WE COULD DO TOGETHER". If this is the only thing we leave behind, we can be proud and hold our heads up and stare the universe down.

AI recommended this for my "Religion and Culture Studies" class REL2300 - World Religion - as background music when I asked it. And it is a great suggestion and great study music for it.

This video kept my heart whole and healthy during the pandemic when I first found it. Today its beauty comforts me during this election chaos. You cannot imagine how your work moves those of us who have found this incredible video. Thank you again for creating such a balm for my soul.

I loved being a part of this wonderful project. Truly showed us unity in hard times during Covid

This group of talented singers need to run it back! It's 2024...where are they now?

Goosebumps and tears because this is just so heavenly beautiful! And the choir is amazing. Wow!

Siento que esta obra me conecta con el universo =)

Eric, I go to sleep with this in my head, and I awake to it as well. What a joyful thing for me to hear it that often!! Joyful tears!!

i literally hit the nay nay so hard

See. I wish I participated in things like this. I never realized how suffocated I was by my own hand but also by the hand of very powerful negative forces in my time of working in the medical field. If I could go back I would leave the state and leave the toxic forces operating against me in my own town of good and great people withstanding such awful people and leave and grow and participate in things like this. And get away from them. And leave disease and death and more threats and intimidations and try my best to start again but I couldn’t and can’t. And I would give anything to do it now but I cannot as I risk serious consequences to my health. I would give anything to be a part of something other than disease death and the pleasures of psychopaths.

Goosebumps... Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece! #togetherwecan

시험나와서 개빡친 08이면 개추

I was wondering why the credits were so long, then I remembered that there is 17,000 people singing in this

I found the VOCES8 recording on Spotify. So lovely & moving. Thank you Eric.☺️

Where can I watch this VOCES8 video? I can't find it on your channel. BTW, I sang alto on the original Sing Gently virtual choir in 2020. Listening to it again tonight gives me courage & hope during this difficult time for our nation. I wonder what Eric is writing these days. Anxious for his tender, compassionate voice to inspire us again. Bless you. - Lisa from CA

I remember my choir teacher showing us this choir still today I can’t stop listening to this piece

I only just found this video, and I don’t know how I’ve missed it all these years. Hearing Eric talk about “A Boy and a Girl” is always a pleasure-it’s such a special piece of music. And the quality and depth of conversation between Eric and Lac, the open sharing of process by putting the Satisfied demo next to the Broadway version and taking us through it-my music nerd brain is just exploding.

It's nighttime & it's so beautiful that tears are falling down & the night becomes indeed "water night". 😭😍💯

still haven't been able to find myself in the vid, other than in the credits 😅

Hi I’m a soprano and I came here to practice this song 🎵 but now I’m going to cry after reading all the comments it seems like there are a lot of people who miss their choir. Maybe I’ll miss too

2:18

Remembering a time of sorrow, sadness, loneliness, courage, beauty and love.. after 3+ years this still brings me to tears.. thank you for bringing this to the world. Your voices bring out the best of humanity ❤️❤️❤️

A red curtain slowly opens. Rows of little screens, showing people of all ages and colors, fill the stage against a dark background. In the center appears 5 a man. He soon begins conducting and disappears. Then the singing images move slowly to the music. Some of them are zoomed in to show different faces. There is neither an orchestra nor an audience. The singers have never met 10 each other or practiced together. Yet a song called "Lux Aurumque" is performed by a beautiful mix of voices. This is a "virtual choir."

Who is here in 2024

We are one

Wow! 3 years ago already. It was a beautiful experience being part of this worldwide choir back then, and we can even find our faces and credits among the other 17,570 singers. Hugs and encouragement to all fellow gentle singers.

This is as much a THING in music history as it is music.

Der digitale Fortschritt durch Corona war doch enorm. Liebe Grüße

Loved being a part of it and seeing my name amongst the throng at 4:51 🎶🎶💕💕

I love this. Question: What happened to the high soprano (long blonde hair) close-up? A different video version?

I will always wonder why this entire video sound was in mono. Artistic choice?
