The website is all in Spanish, which I do not comprehend. Perhaps others can enlighten me about the group that did this.
Here is information about the group, Fundacion la Caixa, in English. https://fundacionlacaixa.org/en/educacion-becas/becas-la-caixa/becarios-de-la-caixa/que-hacemos
ReplyDeleteIt appears to be a multidisciplinary networking group based in Spain. That was a neat ethereal effect of showing projections of the singers in the cathedral. I assume it was done via Zoom, or something similar.
Everyone, please check Jimmy Mac's comment on the previous thread. Sad news about Tom Blackburn.
ReplyDeleteI also like the ending which showed all the phones forming a virtual community.
ReplyDeleteI have been reviewing some of the annual Christmas Vespers services which are done at many colleges, e.g. Smith, etc. One from the Moravian College in Eastern Pa was particularly creative. They had video from their past performances. So they interspersed the communal performances from the past with recently recorded same group performances which gave them an opportunity to feature the current work of their students both vocal and instrumental.
I think parishes should be doing the same. Some now, including ours, make CDs of their services. I think we should not only be making videos of our liturgies, we should also be making videos of some performances of soloists and small groups not only for viewing but also for projection.
One of the things I love about virtual worship is that we can not only worship with other people around the world we can also worship with people in the past. I have had that experience with CDs where musicology groups have recreated past liturgies, e.g. the hybrid Latin Greek Vespers of early Rome.
Jack, with just a little help from Google Translate, as my Spanish is quite rusty, and was never that good even when it wasn't rusty:
ReplyDeleteEnjoy "Alleluia" by G.F. Handel interpreted like never before. Over 350 voices united, virtually, in a great song of hope. Don't miss it!
The orchestra is the Catalan Baroque Orchestra. The choir (I think) is the Barcelona Ars Nova.
