This is the Santiago Veros' most ambitious project yet: a Mass constructed year by year, forming an unparalleled consortium. Every movement of this mass is powered by a distinct consortium, uniting Choirs from every corner of the earth. Year after year, we unveil new segments, slowly revealing the full magnificence of this work. Our journey is set to culminate in 2030, by which time we aim to have united 50 Choirs in this extraordinary musical voyage. This video offers you a glimpse into the genesis of this grand endeavor, a celebration of collective spirit and musical innovation. Stay tuned as we embark on this awe-inspiring journey. contact@santiagoveros.site  less

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone. Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933)  less

The history of the work: Cuando Neruda Soñó is dedicated to people who want to find inner Peace in order to share the best version of oneself with the people around them. This piece is an adventure of someone who is disconnected from himself and his environment, and undertakes a journey in total solitude, into an immense space carrying all of his uncertainties. It is that space that teaches him to find himself, to ask questions and reflect. In the process, he may get lost, but he knows that he will struggle to find the way, and ends up revealing to himself a truth that transcends him. A truth so powerful that it dazzles him. It makes him see life where he once saw loneliness. Finally, feeling at Peace and harmony with himself, he finds the help of great guides who sail at his side. This piece leaves us with the teaching that we will never be completely alone. Only...    less

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. The Book of Common Prayer, 1662 ORIGINAL TEXT Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.  less

There is power in singing in Choirs. These are just a few of my thoughts. I'd love to hear if your reasons are similar! http://wp.me/p5eWWi-gx
