Stagga Like Us


These links are videos displaying pieces written in various musical eras sung by pretty-darn-good choirs around the world. The songs are chosen, of course, because of their harmonies and overall beauty, but mostly for the awesomely infamous staggering entrances. I thoroughly enjoy these choir nerd things.

University of Philippenes Medicine Choir - Antonio Lotti's "Crucifixus"
Montclair State UniversityChamber Ensemble - Eric Whitacre's "Sleep"
Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (NYC) - Arvo Part's Da Pacem Domine from "In Principio"

  1. Good choices. Have you heard my rendition of Crucifixus? It's probably better than the UPMC rendition.

  2. Yeah I've heard a couple different renditions. If you find a quality one send it to me!
