MusTech.Net Comment:
This is perhaps one of the most well put together collaborations that I’ve ever seen regarding music, technology, and composition.  Eric Whitacre writes an incredibly beautiful piece of music titled, “Lux Aurumque” –loosely translated Light and Gold.

The technology behind the video is amazing and looks stunning.  185 students were used to put this piece of music production together.  You will be blown away by this amazing synchronization of music, video, and technology.  Kudos to all involved!
