Reading and Thinking
Imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at
home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while
they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put
together into one video that you can see online—a virtual choir. Anyone can take part in a virtual
choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not
even need a studio. A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not
have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the
chance to join a local choir. A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those of other
individuals and become part of the global community. It has proved to be a positive influence
on the lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said, “Music helps me to ... forget my
problems. With music, I become someone else.”

Reading and Thinking
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.

Reading and Thinking
In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked
his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one performance. His first virtual
choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions
of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Whitacre’s next effort was the Virtual Youth
Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on
stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. Altogether,
2,292 young people from 80 countries joined
in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”.
The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people
around the world to sing with one voice and
thus make the world a better place.

2 What caused Eric Whitacre to fall in love with classical music What gave him the inspiration to make his first virtual choir

Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere—all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection.

1 What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a virtual choir
Advantages:
1. Breaks spatial limits: People worldwide collaborate without gathering, expanding communication scope.
2. Low participation threshold: Requires only basic equipment, enabling more people to showcase musical talents.
3. Enriches experience: Combines technology and art, bringing novel creative and listening enjoyment.
Disadvantages:
1. Poor real-time interaction: Network delays affect rhythm coordination, lacking on-site emotional resonance.
2. High technical demands: Relies on editing skills and equipment; poor quality may ruin the effect.
3. Weak team cohesion: Lack of face-to-face communication makes it hard to build deep team bonds.

1 Highly interested in music , Henry began to write original compositions when he
was in high school.
2 Pleased with his music and songs , They finally invited him to perform in the Silver Hall.

capable of writing compositions and he found that creating music was a relief and cure
for his illness.
4 Absorbed in his world of music, he felt as if he could “see” the beauty of the
world around him, like he had in his previous life.

Good morning! My name is Sarah
Williams. It’s an honour to be here and
to share with you the story of how music
has had an impact on my life.
(A) Have you ever faced a time when
things looked dark and you had no
hope at all Two years ago, I was told
I had a serious disease which was
difficult to cure. My body ached all the
time and thus I thought I didn’t have
much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one
day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax,
so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was “Happy”. The song
made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. (B)
John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music helped me
recover.

(C) Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, (D) it made my spirits fly like a
kite in the wind. (C) Music gave me strength and brought me relief. (E) It was the rock I
leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, (C) music
gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. (F) It became my best friend. It spoke
words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being.
Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I
did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone.
During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all
of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.
Thank you!

I never thought I was very talented at anything
to do with music, but my parents wanted me
to learn to play the piano at the age of six.
To be a good daughter, I agreed to learn
even though I wasn’t interested in it at all.
Experienced in reading her students’ minds,
my piano teacher could tell after a couple of
lessons that my heart was not in it. However,
after learning for about six months, I was
asked to perform something at the year-end
concert arranged by my teacher. Surprised
and terrified at the same time, I could only
agree. Given my inexperience, I chose a fairly
simple composition. In order to perform well,
I practised the same composition for an hour
a day for the next two months. On the day of
the concert, I was so nervous that I woke up
with butterflies in my stomach. As it turned out,
there was no need to be nervous because all
my hard work paid off and I played perfectly.
Encouraged by this first performance and
the positive reaction of the audience, I have
continued to play the piano and enjoy it more
every day.

Most designers set their type arbitrarily, either by pulling values out of the sky or by adhering to a baseline grid. The former case isn’t worth discussing here, but the latter requires a closer look. When using a baseline grid, the first thing you must decide on is your baseline grid unit.
