ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eric Whitacre - Composer, conductor
After creating and conducting a worldwide virtual choir on YouTube, Eric Whitacre is now touring with an astonishing live choir.

Why you should listen

Eric Whitacre began his music career singing in his college choir; by 21, he had written his first concert work, Go, Lovely Rose, and advanced to Juilliard, where he studied under John Corigliano. Today, he has published more than four dozen choral works, conducted in some of the most esteemed halls in the world, and featured on dozens of recordings. His album Cloudburst and Other Choral Works earned him a Grammy nomination in 2007, as did his Decca debut Light & Gold, while his new album, Water Night, debuted at #1 in US iTunes classical charts.

You may know him, too, as the creator and conductor of the virtual choir, a network of YouTube-connected singers whose voices blend together online to become true magic. And he's now touring with the Eric Whitacre Signers, a 28-voice choir (yes, they're all in the same room).

And I was certainsiguran that's what my life would be.

21000
2000
I bio sam siguran da će takav biti moj život.
00:38
And when I wentotišao to collegekoledž at the UniversitySveučilište of NevadaNevada, LasLas VegasVegas
10
23000
2000
A kad sam otišao na fakultet na Sveučilištu Nevada u Las Vegasu
00:40
when I was 18,
11
25000
2000
kada mi je bilo 18 godina,
00:42
I was stunnedZapanjen to find
12
27000
2000
bio sam zatečen kad sam otkrio
00:44
that there was not a Popne. StarZvijezda 101,
13
29000
3000
da ne postoji predmet kako postati pop zvijezda,
00:47
or even a degreestupanj programprogram for that interestinteres.
14
32000
3000
a čak ni smjer za to područje.
00:50
And the choirzbor conductordirigent there
15
35000
2000
Zborovođa je znao da
00:52
knewznao that I sangpjevao
16

00:54
and invitedpozvan me to come and joinpridružiti the choirzbor.
17
39000
2000
pa me pozvao da dođem i pridružim se zboru.
00:56
And I said, "Yes, I would love to do that. It soundszvukovi great."
18
41000
3000
Rekao sam: „Da, volio bih to. Zvuči odlično.“
00:59
And I left the roomsoba and said, "No way."
19
44000
3000
Izašao sam iz sobe i rekao, „Nema šanse.“
01:03
The choirzbor people in my highvisok schoolškola were prettyprilično geekygeeky,
20
48000
3000
Zboraši su u mojoj srednjoj bili poprilični štreberi
01:06
and there was no way I was going to have anything to do with those people.
21
51000
3000
i nije bilo šanse da imam nešto s tim ljudima.
01:09
And about a weektjedan laterkasnije, a friendprijatelj of minerudnik camedošao to me and said,
22
54000
2000
Otprilike tjedan dana poslije, prijatelj mi je došao i rekao:
01:11
"Listen, you've got to joinpridružiti choirzbor.
23
56000
2000
„Slušaj, moraš doći u zbor.
01:13
At the endkraj of the semestersemestar, we're takinguzimanje a tripputovanje to MexicoMeksiko,

01:23
I could do just about anything.

"My sistersestra and I used to singpjevati in choirszborova togetherzajedno constantlykonstantno.
190
612000
2000
„Moja sestra i ja smo prije stalno pjevali u zborovima zajedno.

10:35
I love the ideaideja that she's singingpjevanje with her sistersestra.
193
620000
2000
Sviđa mi se ideja da ona pjeva sa svojom sestrom.
10:37
"AsideNa stranu from the beautifullijep musicglazba,

2000
„Osim prekrasne glazbe,
10:39
it's great just to know I'm partdio of a worldwideširom svijeta communityzajednica of people I never metsastali before,
195

but who are connectedpovezan anywayu svakom slučaju."
196

2000
ali koji su opet povezani.“
10:44
And my personalosobni favoriteljubimac,
197
629000
2000
I moj osobni favorit,
10:46
"When I told my husbandsuprug that I was going to be a partdio of this,
198
631000
2000
„Kad sam rekla mužu da ću biti dio ovoga
10:48
he told me that I did not have the voiceglas for it."
199
633000
2000
rekao mi je da nemam glas za to.“
10:50
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of you have heardčuo that too.
200
635000
2000
Siguran sam da vas je mnogo to čulo.
10:52
Me too.
201
637000
2000
I ja isto.
10:54
"It hurtpovrijediti so much, and I shedšupe some tearssuze,

2000
„Toliko me boljelo i pustila sam suzu,
10:56

203
641000
3000
ali je nešto unutar mene željelo to napraviti unatoč njegovim riječima.
10:59
It is a dreamsan come truepravi to be partdio of this choirzbor,
204
644000
3000
Ovo je poput ostvarenja sna, biti dio ovog zbora
11:02
as I've never been partdio of one.
205
647000
2000
jer nikad nisam bila dio nijednog zbora.
11:04
When I placedpostavljen a markeroznaka on the GoogleGoogle EarthZemlja MapKarta,
206
649000
2000
Kad sam stavila oznaku na Google Earth Map,
11:06
I had to go with the nearestnajbliži cityGrad, whichkoji is about 400 milesmilja away from where I liveživjeti.
207
651000
3000
morala sam otići do najbližeg grada koji je udaljen otprilike 400 milja od mjesta gdje ja živim.
11:09
As I am in the Great AlaskanAljaški BushBush,
208
654000
2000
Kako sam u Velikoj Divljini Aljaske,
11:11
satellitesatelit is my connectionveza to the worldsvijet."
209
656000
3000
satelit je moja jedina veza sa svijetom."
11:14
So two things struckpogođen me deeplyduboko about this.
210
659000
3000
Dvije su me stvari u ovome duboko pogodile.
11:17
The first is that humanljudski beingsbića
211
662000
2000
Prva je ta da će ljudska bića
11:19
will go to any lengthsduljine necessarypotreban

učiniti što god treba
11:21

213
666000

11:24
It doesn't matterstvar the technologytehnologija.
214
669000
2000
Bez obzira na tehnologiju.
11:26
And the seconddrugi is
215
671000
2000
Druga je ta
11:28
that people seemčiniti se to be experiencingdoživljava an actualstvaran connectionveza.
216
673000
3000
da ljudi osjećaju pravu povezanost.
11:31
It wasn'tnije a virtualvirtualan choirzbor.
217
676000
3000
To nije bio virtualan zbor.
11:34
There are people now onlinena liniji that are friendsprijatelji; they'vešto ga do never metsastali.
218
679000
3000
Ima ljudi koji su online i koji su prijatelji, a nisu se nikada upoznali.
11:37
But, I know myselfsebe too, I feel

221

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eric Whitacre - Composer, conductor
After creating and conducting a worldwide virtual choir on YouTube, Eric Whitacre is now touring with an astonishing live choir.

Why you should listen

Eric Whitacre began his music career singing in his college choir; by 21, he had written his first concert work, Go, Lovely Rose, and advanced to Juilliard, where he studied under John Corigliano. Today, he has published more than four dozen choral works, conducted in some of the most esteemed halls in the world, and featured on dozens of recordings. His album Cloudburst and Other Choral Works earned him a Grammy nomination in 2007, as did his Decca debut Light & Gold, while his new album, Water Night, debuted at #1 in US iTunes classical charts.

You may know him, too, as the creator and conductor of the virtual choir, a network of YouTube-connected singers whose voices blend together online to become true magic. And he's now touring with the Eric Whitacre Signers, a 28-voice choir (yes, they're all in the same room).
