I wanted to be a rock star.
0
0
2000
Chcel som byť rockovou hviezdou.
00:17
I dreamed of it, and that's all I dreamed of.
1
2000
3000
To bolo jediné, o čom som sníval.
00:20
To be more accurate, I wanted to be a pop star.
2
5000
2000
Presnejšie, chcel som byť popovou hviezdou.
00:22
This was in the late '80s.
3
7000
2000
To bolo v neskorých 80-tych rokoch.
00:24
And mostly I wanted to be the fifth member
4
9000
2000
Chcel som byť piatym členom
00:26
of Depeche Mode or Duran Duran.
5
11000
2000
Depeche Mode alebo Duran Duran.
00:28
They wouldn't have me.
6
13000
2000
Nechceli ma.
00:30
I didn't read music, but I played synthesizers and drum machines.
7
15000
3000
Nepoznal som hudobnú teóriu, ale hral som na synťáku a bubnoch.
00:33
And I grew up in this little farming town in northern Nevada.
8
18000
3000
Vyrástol som v malej farmárskej dedine v severnej Nevade.
00:36
And I was certain that's what my life would be.
9
21000
2000
Bol som si istý, že môj život mal byť už raz taký.
00:38
And when I went to college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
10
23000
2000
Keď som šiel na univerzitu v Las Vegas,
00:40
when I was 18,
11
25000
2000
mal som 18
00:42
I was stunned to find
12
27000
2000
a prekvapilo ma, že tam
00:44
that there was not a Pop Star 101,
13
29000
3000
neponúkali "Základy Popových Hviezd,"
00:47
or even a degree program for that interest.
14
32000
3000
či len podobný diplom.
00:50
And the choir conductor there
15
35000
2000
Dirigent ich speváckeho zboru vedel,
00:52
knew that I sang
16
37000
2000
že viem spievať,
00:54
and invited me to come and join the choir.
17
39000
2000
a tak ma pozval do ich zboru.
00:56
And I said, "Yes, I would love to do that. It sounds great."
18
41000
3000
"Áno, rád by som. Znie to skvele."
00:59
And I left the room and said, "No way."
19
44000
3000
Na odchode som si povedal: "V žiadnom prípade."
01:03
The choir people in my high school were pretty geeky,
20
48000
3000
Ľudia z môjho stredoškolského zboru boli dosť divní.
01:06
and there was no way I was going to have anything to do with those people.
21
51000
3000
V žiadnom prípade som s nimi nechcel mať nič spoločné.
01:09
And about a week later, a friend of mine came to me and said,
22
54000
2000
O týždeň neskôr ku mne prišiel kamarát a povedal:
01:11
"Listen, you've got to join choir.
23
56000
2000
''Vážne poď do zboru.
01:13
At the end of the semester, we're taking a trip to Mexico,
24
58000
2000
Na konci semestra ideme na výlet do Mexika,
01:15
all expenses paid.
25
60000
2000
všetky náklady pokryté.
01:17
And the soprano section is just full of hot girls."
26
62000
3000
A soprány sú samé pekné dievčatá."
01:21
And so I figured for Mexico and babes,
27
66000
2000
Tak som si povedal, že pre Mexiko a baby
01:23
I could do just about anything.
28
68000
3000
by som urobil takmer čokoľvek.
01:26
And I went to my first day in choir,
29
71000
2000
V prvý deň zboru
01:28
and I sat down with the basses
30
73000
2000
som si sadol s basami
01:30
and sort of looked over my shoulder
31
75000
2000
a obzrel sa cez plece,
01:32
to see what they were doing.
32
77000
2000
že čo robia.
01:34
They opened their scores, the conductor gave the downbeat,
33
79000
2000
Otvorili si noty, dirigent mávol,
01:36
and boom, they launched into the Kyrie
34
81000
3000
a bum, začali spievať Kyrie
01:39
from the "Requiem" by Mozart.
35
84000
2000
z Mózartovho "Requiem."
01:41
In my entire life I had seen in black and white,
36
86000
3000
Celý život som videl čierno-bielo
01:44
and suddenly everything was in shocking Technicolor.
37
89000
4000
a zrazu malo všetko farby.
01:48
The most transformative experience I've ever had --
38
93000
3000
Bol to najtransformatívnejší zážitok, aký som kedy zažil -
01:51
in that single moment, hearing dissonance and harmony
39
96000
3000
v tom jedinom okamihu som počul disonanciu a harmóniu,
01:54
and people singing, people together,
40
99000
3000
ľudia spievali spolu
01:57
the shared vision.
41
102000
2000
spoločnú víziu.
01:59
And I felt for the first time in my life
42
104000
2000
Prvýkrát v živote som cítil,
02:01
that I was part of something bigger than myself.
43
106000
2000
že som súčasťou niečoho väčšieho, než som ja sám.
02:03
And there were a lot of cute girls in the soprano section, as it turns out.
44
108000
4000
A soprány boli samé pekné dievčatá.
02:07
I decided to write a piece for choir
45
112000
3000
Napísal som pre ten zbor pieseň
02:10
a couple of years later
46
115000
2000
o dva roky neskôr.
02:12
as a gift to this conductor
47
117000
2000
Ako darček tomu dirigentovi,
02:14
who had changed my life.
48
119000
2000
ktorý mi zmenil život.
02:16
I had learned to read music by then, or slowly learning to read music.
49
121000
3000
Vtedy som už vedel čítať noty.
02:19
And that piece was published,
50
124000
2000
Tá pieseň bola spublikovaná.
02:21
and then I wrote another piece, and that got published.
51
126000
2000
Potom som napísal a publikoval ešte jednu.
02:23
And then I started conducting,
52
128000
2000
Potom som začal dirigovať.
02:25
and I ended up doing my master's degree at the Juilliard School.
53
130000
2000
Šiel som na magisterské štúdium na Julliard School.
02:27
And I find myself now in the unlikely position
54
132000
2000
A teraz som v nezvyklej pozícii
02:29
of standing in front of all of you
55
134000
2000
a stojím tu pred vami
02:31
as a professional classical composer and conductor.
56
136000
4000
ako profesionálny skladateľ a dirigent.
02:35
Well a couple of years ago,
57
140000
2000
Pred dvomi rokmi
02:37
a friend of mine emailed me
58
142000
2000
mi priateľ poslal
02:39
a link, a YouTube link,
59
144000
2000
odkaz na YouTube
02:41
and said, "You have got to see this."
60
146000
2000
a povedal: "Toto musíš vidieť."
02:43
And it was this young woman who had posted a fan video to me,
61
148000
3000
Jedna mladá žena tam dala video - pre mňa.
02:46
singing the soprano line
62
151000
2000
Spievala soprán
02:48
to a piece of mine called "Sleep."
63
153000
2000
z mojej piesne "Spánok."
02:50
(Video) Britlin Losee: Hi Mr. Eric Whitacre.
64
155000
3000
(Video) "Ahoj, pán Eric Whitacre.
02:53
My name is Britlin Losee,
65
158000
2000
Volám sa Britlin Losee,
02:55
and this is a video
66
160000
2000
a toto video
02:57
that I'd like to make for you.
67
162000
2000
je pre vás.
02:59
Here's me singing "Sleep."
68
164000
3000
Zaspievam "Spánok."
03:05
I'm a little nervous, just to let you know.
69
170000
2000
Som trochu nervózna.
03:10
♫ If there are noises ♫
70
175000
9000
♫ Ak v noci počuť ♫
03:19
♫ in the night ♫
71
184000
6000
♫ zvuky ♫
03:25
Eric Whitacre: I was thunderstruck.
72
190000
2000
Eric Whitacre: Ohromilo ma to.
03:27
Britlin was so innocent and so sweet,
73
192000
3000
Britlin bola taká nevinná a zlatá
03:30
and her voice was so pure.
74
195000
2000
a jej hlas bol taký číry.
03:32
And I even loved seeing behind her;
75
197000
2000
A za sebou, vo svojej izbe,
03:34
I could see the little teddy bear sitting on the piano behind her in her room.
76
199000
3000
mala na klavíri plyšáka.
03:37
Such an intimate video.
77
202000
2000
Také intímne video.
03:39
And I had this idea: if I could get 50 people
78
204000
2000
Napadlo mi: ak by 50 ľudí
03:41
to all do this same thing,
79
206000
2000
spravilo to isté,
03:43
sing their parts -- soprano, alto, tenor and bass --
80
208000
2000
soprány, alty, tenory, basy
03:45
wherever they were in the world, post their videos to YouTube,
81
210000
3000
a dali svoje videá na YouTube,
03:48
we could cut it all together and create a virtual choir.
82
213000
3000
spravili by sme z toho virtuálny zbor.
03:51
So I wrote on my blog, "OMG OMG."
83
216000
3000
Tak som napísal na svoj blog: "OMG OMG."
03:54
I actually wrote, "OMG,"
84
219000
2000
Skutočne som napísal "OMG."
03:56
hopefully for the last time in public ever.
85
221000
3000
Dúfam, že verejne naposledy.
03:59
(Laughter)
86
224000
2000
(Smiech)
04:01
And I sent out this call to singers.
87
226000
2000
A vyslal som odkaz spevákom.
04:03
And I made free the download of the music
88
228000
3000
Nechal som ich zadarmo si stiahnuť noty
04:06
to a piece that I had written in the year 2000
89
231000
2000
k piesni, ktorú som napísal v roku 2000,
04:08
called "Lux Aurumque," which means "light and gold."
90
233000
3000
nazvanej "Lux Aurumque," čo znamená "svetlo a zlato."
04:11
And lo and behold, people started uploading their videos.
91
236000
3000
Ľudia skutočne začali uploadovať videá.
04:14
Now I should say, before that,
92
239000
2000
Ešte by som mal povedať,
04:16
what I did is I posted a conductor track
93
241000
2000
že som im dal video samého seba,
04:18
of myself conducting.
94
243000
2000
ako dirigujem.
04:20
And it's in complete silence when I filmed it,
95
245000
3000
Vo videu dirigujem v úplnej tichosti,
04:23
because I was only hearing the music in my head,
96
248000
2000
pretože som počul hudbu len v mojej hlave,
04:25
imagining the choir that would one day come to be.
97
250000
3000
predstavujúc si zbor, ktorý sa mal raz zrodiť.
04:28
Afterwards, I played a piano track underneath
98
253000
2000
Neskôr som k tomu hral na klavíri,
04:30
so that the singers would have something to listen to.
99
255000
3000
aby mali speváci doprovod.
04:33
And then as the videos started to come in ...
100
258000
3000
Keď sa videá začali hromadiť...
04:38
(Singing)
101
263000
4000
(Spev)
04:42
This is Cheryl Ang from Singapore.
102
267000
3000

05:03

05:05

05:07

109

05:09
This is Jamal Walker from Dallas, Texas.

Jamal Walker z Dallasu, Texas.
05:12
(Singing)
111
297000
8000
(Spev)
05:20
There was even a little soprano solo in the piece,
112
305000
2000
Mali sme aj krátke sólo pre soprán,
05:22
and so I had auditions.
113
307000
2000
tak sme mali konkurzy.
05:24
And a number of sopranos uploaded their parts.
114
309000
2000
Zopár sopránistiek poskytlo svoje videá.
05:26
I was told later,
115
311000
2000
Neskôr mi povedali,
05:28
and also by lots of singers who were involved in this,
116
313000
2000
a aj mnohí iní z týchto spevákov,
05:30
that they sometimes recorded 50 or 60 different takes
117
315000
3000
že niekedy nahrali 50 či 60 pokusov,
05:33
until they got just the right take -- they uploaded it.
118
318000
3000
až kým nenahrali ten správny, ktorý uploadovali.
05:36
Here's our winner of the soprano solo.
119
321000
2000
Tu je náš víťazný soprán.
05:38
This is Melody Myers from Tennessee.
120
323000
3000
Melody Myers z Tennessee.
05:43
(Singing)
121
328000
15000
(Spev)
05:58
I love the little smile she does right over the top of the note --
122
343000
3000
Páči sa mi jej úsmev, keď vytiahne tú notu
06:01
like, "No problem, everything's fine."
123
346000
2000
ako "Žiaden problém, všetko je v pohode."
06:03
(Laughter)
124
348000
2000
(Smiech)
06:05
And from the crowd
125
350000
2000
A potom sa z davu
06:07
emerged this young man, Scott Haines.
126
352000
2000
vynoril mladý muž menom Scott Haines.
06:09
And he said, "Listen, this is the project
127
354000
2000
Povedal: "Počuj, na tento projekt
06:11
I've been looking for my whole life.
128
356000
2000
som čakal celý život.
06:13
I'd like to be the person to edit this all together."
129
358000
2000
Rád by som to celé zeditoval."
06:15
I said, "Thank you, Scott. I'm so glad that you found me."
130
360000
3000
Ja na to: "Ďakujem, Scott. Som veľmi rád, že si ma našiel."
06:18
And Scott aggregated all of the videos.
131
363000
2000
Scott zhromaždil všetky videá.
06:20
He scrubbed the audio.
132
365000
2000
Vyčistil zvuk.
06:22
He made sure that everything lined up.
133
367000
2000
Všetko zladil.
06:24
And then we posted this video to YouTube about a year and a half ago.
134
369000
3000
A potom, asi pred rokom a pol, sme poskytli toto video na YouTube.
06:27
This is "Lux Aurumque" sung by the Virtual Choir.
135
372000
2000
Toto je "Lux Aurumque" naspievané Virtuálnym Zborom.
06:29
(Singing)
136
374000
10000
(Spev)
07:49
I'll stop it there in the interest of time.
137
454000
3000
Kvôli času to tu zastavím.
07:52
(Applause)
138
457000
4000
(Potlesk)
07:56
Thank you. Thank you.
139
461000
4000
Ďakujem. Ďakujem.
08:00
(Applause)
140
465000
8000
(Potlesk)
08:08
Thank you.
141
473000
2000
Ďakujem.
08:10
So there's more. There's more.
142
475000
3000
Je toho viac. Je toho viac.
08:13
Thank you so much.
143
478000
2000
Ďakujem pekne.
08:15
And I had the same reaction you did.
144
480000
2000
Moja reakcia bola rovnaká, ako tá vaša.
08:17
I actually was moved to tears when I first saw it.
145
482000
2000
Dojalo ma to k slzám, keď som to prvýkrát videl.
08:19
I just couldn't believe the poetry of all of it --
146
484000
3000
Nemohol som uveriť tej poézii -
08:22
these souls all on their own desert island,
147
487000
4000
tieto duše, samy, na svojom opustenom ostrove,
08:26
sending electronic messages in bottles to each other.
148
491000
3000
si posielajú elektronické odkazy vo fľašiach.
08:29
And the video went viral.
149
494000
2000
Video sa stalo populárnym.
08:31
We had a million hits in the first month
150
496000
2000
Milióny ľudí si ho pozreli v prvý mesiac.
08:33
and got a lot of attention for it.
151
498000
2000
Video pútalo veľkú pozornosť.
08:35
And because of that, then a lot of singers started saying,
152
500000
2000
Vďaka tomu mnohí speváci začali hovoriť:
08:37
"All right, what's Virtual Choir 2.0?"
153
502000
2000
"Žeby Virtuálny Zbor 2.0?"
08:39
And so I decided for Virtual Choir 2.0
154
504000
2000
Pre Virtuálny Zbor 2.0
08:41
that I would choose the same piece that Britlin was singing,
155
506000
3000
som vybral pieseň, ktorú spievala Britlin,
08:44
"Sleep," which is another work
156
509000
2000
"Spánok," ktorú som
08:46
that I wrote in the year 2000 --
157
511000
2000
napísal v roku 2000 k
08:48
poetry by my dear friend Charles Anthony Silvestri.
158
513000
2000
poézii môjho priateľa Charlesa Anthonyho Silvestriho.
08:50
And again, I posted a conductor video,
159
515000
2000
Znovu som poskytol video, v ktorom dirigujem,
08:52
and we started accepting submissions.
160
517000
3000
a začali sme zhromažďovať videá.
08:55
This time we got some more mature members.
161
520000
3000
Tentokrát sme mali vyspelejších spevákov
08:58
(Singing)
162
523000
10000
(Spev)
09:08
And some younger members.
163
533000
3000
A pár mladších spevákov.

09:20
EW: That's Georgie from England. She's only nine.
166
545000
3000
EW: To je Georgie z Anglicka. Má len deväť rokov.
09:23
Isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever seen?
167
548000
3000
Nie je zlatá?
09:26
Someone did all eight videos --
168
551000
2000
Niekto spravil všetkých deväť videií.
09:28
a bass even singing the soprano parts.
169
553000
2000
Bas dokonca naspieval soprán.
09:30
This is Beau Awtin.

09:39
EW: And our goal -- it was sort of an arbitrary goal --
172
564000
3000
EW: A náš cieľ - bol to pomyselný cieľ -
09:42
there was an MTV video where they all sang "Lollipop"
173
567000
2000
v jedom MTV videu všetci spievali "Lollipop."
09:44
and they got people from all over the world to just sing that little melody.
174
569000
3000
Ľudia z celého sveta spievali tú krátku melódiu.
09:47
And there were 900 people involved in that.
175
572000
2000
900 ľudí sa do toho zapojilo.
09:49
So I told the singers, "That's our goal.
176
574000
2000
Tak som povedal spevákom: "To je náš cieľ.
09:51
That's the number for us to beat."
177
576000
2000
Musíme to prekonať."
09:53
And we just closed submissions January 10th,
178
578000
3000
10. januára sme prijali posledné video.
09:56
and our final tally was 2,051 videos
179
581000
3000
Dokopy sme ich mali 2,051.
09:59
from 58 different countries.
180
584000
2000
Z 58 rôznych krajín.
10:01
Thank you.
181
586000
2000
Ďakujem.

as far north as Alaska and as far south as New Zealand.
185
597000
3000
Aljašky a Nového Zélandu.
10:15
And we also put a page on Facebook
186
600000
4000
Takisto máme stránku na Facebooku
10:19
for the singers to upload their testimonials,
187
604000
3000
pre spevákov a ich vyznania,
10:22
what it was like for them, their experience singing it.
188
607000
3000
aké to pre nich bolo.
10:25
And I've just chosen a few of them here.
189
610000
2000
Zopár som vybral.
10:27
"My sister and I used to sing in choirs together constantly.
190
612000
2000
"So sestrou sme zvykli spievať v zboroch.
10:29
Now she's an airman in the air force constantly traveling.
191
614000
3000
Teraz pracuje ako letec a stále cestuje.
10:32
It's so wonderful to sing together again!"
192
617000
3000
Je skvelé s ňou zase spievať!"
10:35
I love the idea that she's singing with her sister.
193
620000
2000
Páči sa mi, že spieva so sestrou.
10:37
"Aside from the beautiful music,
194
622000
2000
"Okrem nádhernej hudby,
10:39
it's great just to know I'm part of a worldwide community of people I never met before,
195
624000
3000
je skvelé vedieť, že som súčasťou svetovej komunity ľudí, ktorých som nikdy, nestretla,
10:42
but who are connected anyway."
196
627000
2000
ale ktorí sú aj tak prepojení."
10:44
And my personal favorite,
197
629000
2000
A moja najobľúbenejšia hláška:
10:46
"When I told my husband that I was going to be a part of this,
198
631000
2000
"Keď som povedala manželovi, že sa tohto chcem zúčastniť,
10:48
he told me that I did not have the voice for it."
199
633000
2000
povedal, že na to nemám hlas."
10:50
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of you have heard that too.
200
635000
2000
Som si istý, že ste také niečo počuli mnohí.
10:52
Me too.
201
637000
2000
Aj ja.
10:54
"It hurt so much, and I shed some tears,
202
639000
2000
"Tak ma to zranilo, že som si poplakala,
10:56
but something inside of me wanted to do this despite his words.
203
641000
3000
ale niečo vo mne to chcelo urobiť napriek jeho slovám.
10:59
It is a dream come true to be part of this choir,
204
644000
3000
Môj sen sa stal skutočnosťou vďaka tomuto zboru,
11:02
as I've never been part of one.
205
647000
2000
keďže som nikdy v nijakom nebola.
11:04
When I placed a marker on the Google Earth Map,
206
649000
2000
Keď sa pozriete na Google Earth,
11:06
I had to go with the nearest city, which is about 400 miles away from where I live.
207
651000
3000
najbližšie mesto je asi 400 míľ od môjho domova.
11:09
As I am in the Great Alaskan Bush,
208
654000
2000
Keďže bývam na Aljaške,
11:11
satellite is my connection to the world."
209
656000
3000
moje jediné spojenie so svetom je satelit."
11:14
So two things struck me deeply about this.
210
659000
3000
Dve veci ma veľmi zaujali.
11:17
The first is that human beings
211
662000
2000
Poprvé, ľudia pôjdu tak
11:19
will go to any lengths necessary
212
664000
2000
ďaleko, ako sa len dá, aby
11:21
to find and connect with each other.
213
666000
3000
sa navzájom našli.
11:24
It doesn't matter the technology.
214
669000
2000
Na technológii nezáleží.
11:26
And the second is
215
671000
2000
Podruhé, zdá sa,
11:28
that people seem to be experiencing an actual connection.
216
673000
3000
že títo ľudia majú skutočné spojenie.
11:31
It wasn't a virtual choir.
217
676000
3000
Nebol to virtuálny zbor.
11:34
There are people now online that are friends; they've never met.
218
679000
3000
Títo ľudia sú teraz priateľmi, hoci sa nikdy nestretli.
11:37
But, I know myself too, I feel
219
682000
2000
Ja sám k nim cítim
11:39
this virtual esprit de corps, if you will, with all of them.
220
684000
3000
akúsi spolupatričnosť, ak sa to tak dá nazvať.
11:42
I feel a closeness to this choir --
221
687000
2000
Mám k tomu zboru blízko.
11:44
almost like a family.
222
689000
3000
Takmer ako k rodine.
11:47
What I'd like to close with then today
223
692000
2000
Rád by som dnes zakončil
11:49
is the first look
224
694000
2000
prvým náhľadom
11:51
at "Sleep" by Virtual Choir 2.0.
225
696000
2000
na "Spánok" od Virtuálneho Zboru 2.0.
11:53
This will be a premiere today.
226
698000
2000
Dnes bude mať premiéru.
11:55
We're not finished with the video yet.
227
700000
2000
Ešte sme nedokončili video.
11:57
You can imagine, with 2,000 synchronized YouTube videos,
228
702000
3000
Viete si predstaviť, že zladiť 2000 YouTube videí
12:00
the render time is just atrocious.
229
705000
3000
je skutočne náročné.
12:03
But we do have the first three minutes.
230
708000
2000
Zatiaľ máme prvé tri minúty.
12:05
And it's a tremendous honor
231
710000
2000
A je to pre mňa úžasná pocta
12:07
for me to be able to show it to you here first.
232
712000
3000
ich tu prvýkrát ukázať.
12:10
You're the very first people to see this.
233
715000
2000
Ste prví, čo to uvidia.
12:12
This is "Sleep," the Virtual Choir.
234
717000
3000
Tu je "Spánok" od Virtuálneho Zboru.
