虚拟合唱团提供了一种美妙的方式，让世界各地的人们能够同声歌唱，世界因此变得更加美好。Musicistheuniversallanguageofmankind——HenryWadsworthLongfellowHomework小本P127—前5题Thankyou!Haveaniceday!FillintheblanksabouttheintroductionofEricWhitacre.inJanuary①____________bornintheUSAin1988began②______________in1995③______________universityin1997④__________________________inmusicalcompositionfrom1997to2007hisoriginalcompositions⑤__________________1970studyingmusicgraduatedfromreceivedamaster’sdegreebecamequitepopularTHEVIRTUALCHOIRImaginehavingtheopportunitytosingtogetherwithhundredsofotherpeoplewhileyouareathomealone.Youcandothisinavirtualchoir.Virtualchoirmembersrecordthemselveswhiletheyperformaloneonvideo.ThesevideosareuploadedontotheInternet,andthentheyareputtogetherintoonevideothatyoucanseeonline—avirtualchoir.Anyonecantakepartinavirtualchoirfromanywhere—allyouneedisavideocameraandanInternetconnection.Youdonotevenneedastudio.Avirtualchoirhelpsconnectordinarypeopletogether.Manypeopledonothaveclosefriendsorcontactswhohavethesameinterestinmusic.Manyothersdonothavethechancetojoinalocalchoir.Avirtualchoirenablesthemtoaddtheirvoicestothoseofotherindividualsandbecomepartoftheglobalcommunity.Ithasprovedtobeapositiveinfluenceonthelivesofmanypeople.Asonevirtualchoirmembersaid,“Musichelpsmeto...forgetmyproblems.Withmusic,Ibecomesomeoneelse.”虚拟合唱团

想象一下，独自在家时，你可以和几百人一道引吭高歌。虚拟合唱团能够让你的想象成为现实。虚拟合唱团的成员们把各自的歌唱视频录制下来，上传到互联网上，然后这些视频被合成一个你可以在线观看的视频——虚拟合唱团。任何人无论身在何处，都可以参加虚拟合唱团——你只需要一台摄像机，并且能够上网，你连工作室都不需要。虚拟合唱团将普通人联系起来。许多人没有亲密的朋友，也没有志趣相投的私交，还有许多人没有机会加入本地的合唱团。虚拟合唱团让他们能够与其他人一起欢歌，成为全球社区的一部分。事实证明，虚拟合唱团对许多人的生活产生了积极的影响。正如一位虚拟合唱团成员所说，“音乐帮助我......忘记自己的问题。音乐，让我脱胎换骨。”Thevirtualchoirwastheideaofaward-winningcomposerandconductorEricWhitacre.BornintheUSAon2January1970,WhitacrebeganstudyingmusicattheUniversityofNevadain1988.HefellinlovewithMozart’sclassicalmusicwhenhesangfortheuniversitychoir.Movedbythismusic,hesaid,“Itwaslikeseeingcolorforthefirsttime.”Hegraduatedfromuniversityin1995，andthenreceivedamaster’sdegreeinmusicalcompositionfromtheJuilliardSchoolinNewYorkin1997.Overthenext10years,Whitacre’soriginalcompositionsbegantobecomequitepopularamongchoirsandsingers.Thisledtothecreationofthevirtualchoir.

虚拟合唱团是获奖作曲家和指挥家埃里克・惠塔克的创意。惠塔克于1970年1月2日生于美国，1988年进入内华达大学学习音乐。在大学合唱团期间，他痴迷于莫扎特的古典音乐。他被这种音乐打动了，他说：“那种（兴奋的）感觉就如同是第一次看见色彩一样。”他1995年大学毕业，随后于1997年在纽约茱莉亚音乐学院获得音乐创作硕士学位。在接下来的10年里，惠塔克的原创作品深受合唱团和歌手的欢迎，这促使他创建了虚拟合唱团。
