Virtual Choir Performs 'For The Beauty of the Earth'
In this beautiful video, a virtual choir performs the song ‘For the Beauty of the Earth.’
“For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth, over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise, this our grateful hymn of praise.
For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise, this our grateful hymn of praise.”
The video starts off with the conductor on screen. Then, many faces appear as they all start singing their different parts of the song. They all sound so beautiful together!
“This is our little song of praise and thanksgiving to God Almighty who created all things for the good of the human race,” writes the virtual choir about this video. “It is in this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic that we would like to express our solidarity to the victims and their loved ones, those affected and those who contribute by sacrificing their thoughts, energy, resources and time, some as far as risking their personal health to fight the war against this worrying pandemic.”
The talented group continues with saying that they are all from different walks of life and hope that this video blesses everyone who sees it.
“We pray that these voices from our own homes may bring positive energy to those who hear them as we remind ourselves to give thanks to the gifts that we often take for granted, the gift of creation, the Mother Earth, our daily needs, education, jobs, family members and friends. We come from all walks of life (students, parents, children, workers) from all over the world that share the common passion for music and we believe that through music, we can spread the message of hope, encouragement and love, especially in this time of crisis.”
What an amazing and touching rendition of this beautiful classic! Let your heart be uplifted by this wonderful music.
