Sir Eric , thank you for sharing and hearing your Gifts...

It is too bad they didn't have mics on choir 2. This is such a beautiful song.

I know my comment is THIRTEEN years too late :-) I thought the same thing at first when I first saw this but it actually kinda makes sense. It might not have been his original intent but what is an echo, if not distant? To me, this is the perfect format, in terms of audio recording.

I like the choir 2 echo ...

[@AtemiRaven]

@zaitht Because of how popular the rest of his stuff is :). My personal favorite is Sleep, not because of his virtual choir idea, just because of how gorgeous it is. This comes in a close second. I probably have about 200 of the 871 views XD

I prefer UST SINGERS version when they compete at Llangolen 2010

[@Tra3Music]

I thought it was brilliant. And whether you agree or disagree I won't be here to read it.

[@FretboardToAsh]

Hearing all of them, this is not a very good choir. The pieces are great though, my preference still goes out to Sleep, Lux and Water Night.

That Bflat in the soprano at the end was a little flat :/

[@SonofLiberty039]

Elaborate, artificial, full of shit, and perfect for church. I have a relatively untrained ear, but I think I hear what people dislike about him. Its like he is an author who has wonderful prose and writes a popular story, but those who are familiar with really really good literature object because the story is only skin deep. He's like Oscar Wilde. Clever and superficially impressive, but lacking the honesty that is required to create art that lasts.

Who hurt you?
