Forward this to your choir director

Here's Eric Whitacre's virtual choir singing his setting of a Latin translation of an Edward Esch poem.

The words were rendered into the Latin by Charles Anthony Silvestri and are shown below in English.

Light,
warm and heavy as pure gold
and angels sing softly
to the new-born babe.

Okay, so it's Easter and not Christmas. But this is one rapidly catching Internet meme that you'll want to pass along to your musical friends.

BTW: here's how they did it.
