Nice range for a short clip. Watching it I feel like the elements of the majestic music are seeking and scaling the equally majestic elements of the architecture. And the sensitive shots of the musicians are a metaphor for all of us; I’m with them as they lift their voices in praise of the great things inspired man can do.
Nice…although its brevity and lack of interaction with or interview of the musicians left me wanting more of the promised “inside look.”
wonderful music
