The first of these videos is a 14-minute TED talk by Eric Whitacre, describing his "virtual choir" concept, and the steps that led to his latest effort of having his "Sleep" performed by 2051 singers from 58 countries. The talk was recorded March 2011 and posted April 2011, and the TED link is here: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/eric_whitacre_a_virtual_choir_2_000_voices_strong.html.
It was slow coming up for me, and a faster version is at this link: http://winp.com/choirvoices/
The second video is a delightful flash mob from Spain performing the choral finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=GBaHPND2QJg&feature=youtu.be
