A heavenly choir

Perhaps you've seen this video that's been popping up all over the blogosphere. I believe the term is "it's gone viral". American composer Eric Whitacre digitally arranged hundreds of individual videos of people singing his piece Lux Aurumque ("Light of Gold") to create a virtual choir made up of singers from twelve nations. Both the concept and the end result are lovely.

David Murray at The Gospel Coalition blog sees Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir as an illustration of the heavenly choir made up singers from every nation, tribe and language (see Hebrews 12:22-24, Revelation 7:9-10):

As I watched in wonder, I could not help thinking of how Christ our Mediator gathers His people’s praises from every church and every believer in the world every Sunday and presents them, as a perfect choir, to His Father.
