Listen to Tuesday: Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir

Formed by maestro and composer extraordinaire Eric Whitacre, the Virtual Choir projects bring together people from every part of the globe - anywhere you can get an internet connection and a recording device - and put together a bunch of videos to form an immense virtual choir.

This year's Virtual Choir brought together a stunning 8409 videos from 5905 singers in 101 countries!

The piece we sang for this year's VC is titled Fly to Paradise, and it's an original composed by Eric, adapted from his musical Paradise Lost.

Making the videos was challenging - I learned, sang and recorded four tracks (sopranos 1 & 2, and altos 1 & 2) in all of three days - but it was immensely worth it when I saw this final piece.

It's gorgeous and full of win, and I think I'd be doing everyone a disservice if I didn't put it out there that I'm so glad I was a part of this project.
