OK, I know that a lot of you have been wondering about the next iteration of the Virtual Choir, and now I have a little news: On September 23rd I will announce the next piece and release the conductor video. I’ll also announce some BIG news for the Virtual Choir – we’re taking it to the next level in a serious way. Woo hoo!
@TomSacharski Nice.
In one hour I'll be appearing live (via satellite) on Australia's morning TV show "Sunrise". Live stream here: http://t.co/5CgPRg7F

WOO! I'm so excited. I made a huge mistake by missing out on Lux Aurumque, but I'm ready for the next one. :-)

Although I like that song as well, I think it could be too demanding on the singers…. that song is seriously long and exhausting.

SO excited! I'm definitely not going to miss out on this one!
Elliott on July 27, 2010 at 12:02 am
I'm actually gonna do it this time!
Mitchell on July 28, 2010 at 5:22 am
Nothing will stop me for making a track this time

I may only be going into 10th grade, but I'm going to submit a video. I'm Soprano 1.

Eric, you need to submit your Virtual Choir to them. They're looking for innovative videos on YouTube and I could not think of anything more innovative than what you're doing.
Ross on July 30, 2010 at 1:31 pm
AH YES! so excited.
Talita Olivier on July 30, 2010 at 6:18 pm
We cannot wait! We are getting everyone we can ready here in South Africa!

Can you all imagine the upcoming project … if it's going to be Cloudburst? Can you just imagine?
Matt W on August 2, 2010 at 2:36 am
Eric you should set Cantate Canticum Novum for the original virtual choir piece. It's about the internet! How perfect.
Sally M on August 2, 2010 at 2:24 pm
May I ask if you already have a piece picked out?
(As others are posting their wishes, may I add A Boy and A Girl and The Seal Lullaby?)
I am very glad that you're doing another virtual choir. Watching the first one was so exciting; I wish I had known about it earlier. Now, I know a large number of my college choirites will be excited to all try.
Thank you for doing this, it really is amazing.
Jake Stamatis on August 3, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Water night! please! that piece means a lot to me. this is so dorky but without it I probably wouldn't be pursuing a career as a singer
it would be a dream to be part of water night online and be conducted by your virtual self
Jonathan Mott on August 23, 2010 at 8:34 am
Eric, if you needed the music for the next project engraved, I would be happy to help you out again. Thanks… Jonathan
Kyle G. on September 12, 2010 at 4:31 pm
I can only imagine it being Cloudburst. I mean…Lux Aurumque and Sleep (two of the other most epic pieces ever!!!) have already been done…
