A Burst Of Spectacular Sounds by Eric Whitacre

Yet again, the human imagination integrates diverse forms, media, technology and human ingenuity.

This following piece is a brilliant composition. Equally brilliantly performed by a gifted choir
in TED Talks.

To help you enjoy this piece of choral composition is the entire write-up from Wikipedia:

Cloudburst is one of Eric Whitacre's most famous compositions. Whitacre wrote the piece in 1992 (age 22) for eight-part choir, with piano and percussion accompaniment. The text was adapted from Octavio Paz's poem El Cántaro Roto (The Broken Water-Jug). The first section is a cappella, notable for its dissonant tone clusters. Whitacre notates long, sustained notes with text to be spoken at random by each individual singer. Following the opening section is a baritone solo, which is then followed by the development of a new a cappella theme. This section continues into a spoken, arrhythmic incantatory solo with background. In the section titled "The Cloudburst", handbells (which are directed to be hidden from the audience) play a written two bars, and then play at random as the choir crescendos into an aleatoric section, which is signaled by a loud clap of "thunder". During this time, the choir begins claps, snaps, and thigh smacks in order to imitate the sound of rain. A thunder sheet, bass drum, handbells, suspended cymbal, wind chimes, and piano contribute to the effect of a thunderstorm. The storm gradually builds then fades, and the ending of the piece mirrors the beginning section, with the choir arpeggiating as the piano voices block chords. "Cloudburst" was the title feature of an album by Stephen Layton's chamber choir Polyphony. The album included other works by Whitacre and was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award in best Choral Performance. A concert band version, commissioned for the Indiana All-State Band, was released by Whitacre in 2001.

 

A Shared Pain: Schindler's List

Here is a vicarious experience of excruciating pain and inhuman suffering for a community. This community's crime was being born a Jew. A stigma for being enterprising and diligent.

Capturing the poignance and the feel of this community experiencing being cleansed is Schindler's List composed by John Williams and played by Itzhak Perlman.

 

Here Is The Shape Of a Better Day!

Some days are better days. Just how does one share a day like that?

  Here goes:

 

Enjoy Being

If you have an hour or so...just enjoy being a human being!

A Celebration Of Feelings

Imagine the most ordinary part of everyday. A meal. A conversation. A walk. The extra-ordinary part is the feeling-part. It is never the same no matter how ordinary a meal, a conversation, a walk may be.
I am delighted to be able to share this observation with you. That ability to feel is the greatest gift of being a human being.
In the following videos are three beautiful people demonstrating through music and conversations, a taste of feelings in their soulful, spirited, shy, fiery, frenzied, collected, meditative moods.

CREATION OF A HUMAN LIFE

The concept:MIRACLE as a word is not impressive. It has been overused. It has been used in context not appropriate.
The experience of the person hearing this word may not match the wonder and amazement that the other may be sharing.
Perhaps this presentation may put the word in the right context. Image. Look. Feel. Experience. Knowledge. Information. The right time. The right place. The right combination.
All the right rights happening at the same right time: MIRACLE.

Have a look at a MIRACLE unfolding: the creation of a human life.
