The virtual choir was the idea of award-­winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” He graduated from university in 1995, and then received a master's degree in musical composition from the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre's original compositions began to become quite popular among choirs and singers. This led to the creation of the virtual choir.

Personal musical foundation and achievements Eric Whitacre has a solid musical background. He studied music, was influenced by Mozart's classical music, graduated from university and got a master's degree in musical composition. Inspiration and initiative He was inspired by a video of a girl singing his work. Then he took the initiative to ask fans to make videos and combine them into a performance. Discussion 1 What contribute to the success of Eric Whitacre’s virtual choir? Subsequent development and promotion The success of the first virtual choir led to more efforts. His subsequent projects like the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF expanded the influence. Passion for music His deep - seated love for music, kindled by Mozart’s classical works and nurtured through years of musical study and composition, drove him to innovate. Development of technology Advanced, accessible consumer technology lets anyone record themselves singing easily at home. Discussion 2 What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a virtual choir? Advantages Reach out to connect with music - lovers worldwide, expanding your musical circle beyond local limits. Sing at your own time and space, no need to rush to fixed-place rehearsals. Unite with people from diverse backgrounds, feeling part of a big, inclusive musical family. Disadvantages Miss face-to-face chats, shared energy, and immediate feedback with choirmates. Feel disconnected from the “live” group rhythm, as you can’t sense others’ presence while singing alone. Stay disciplined without in-person rehearsals pushing you —procrastination might hamper progress. Discussion 3 Does a virtual choir really connect people together? Why or why not? Possible answers : It does. People from different places record videos and form a virtual choir. They share the passion for music, become part of a global music community, and thus connect with each other, just like “adding their voices to those of other individuals to form a global community” mentioned in the text. It doesn't fully connect people. Virtual choir members only interact through pre-recorded videos, lacking real-time communication like face-to-face conversations and on-site emotional exchanges during live rehearsals, so the connection is rather limited. 05 Summary Content The Virtual Choir What Anyone can take part in it.
