Best coin ever spent..

I was sent this a couple of weeks ago,and I agree,,it's fantastic,it brings tears to your eyes ..well,it did for me anyway..very emotional,especially the music..

It was sent to me as well I sent it to you Sandra Lol , I loved it and watched it so many times it's a wonder it's not worn out ,that little girl is oblivious to everything else except the music ,thanks for the chance to watch it again David :o))

wonderful...:>)

So you did,Amy ! Lol..I can hardly remember yesterday,never mind who sent what,a little while ago :o) .I've just seen it posted on Facebook tonight..from Thomas's other Grandma in Spain ! so it is definitely going the rounds..:o)

Going to be a grouch about this I'm afraid. Yes it's good music and all that but the point of flashmobs is that they are supposed to appear to be completely spontaneous - how often do you see someone wheeling timpani through the the streets?

There's a good example of a flashmob singing the hallelujah chorus in a shopping centre food hall that is almost believable. http://youtu.be/SXh7JR9oKVE or try http://youtu.be/mnCXb6gffwg (but not if you're a librarian)

But for how flashmob is really supposed to be done see http://youtu.be/oacelnX3VSQ or http://youtu.be/d2Ci_2raOfU (look out for the EU 'official' about 3 minutes in.

I saw the Hallelujah Chorus one too, and didn't really mind whether it was believable, just enjoyed it - in fact I've enjoyed all the ones I've seen. Maybe I have a child's mind, ready to be pleased!
Seen the Beethoven before, but enjoyed it all over again.

Urbanite, I am a librarian (or was) - was puzzled what difference it makes? Have I somehow let the side down?

Try singing in our library and the Silent Patrol will throw the proverbial book at you. They wear tabards with "Silent Patrol" on so that you know who they are - in case you think people normally walk round in tabards.

Good gracious! Lots of libraries have relaxed the silence rule, except in reference departments. Still they would all draw the line at casual live orchestral music.Does your patrol actually go round asking folk t be quiet?

I couldn't get the second link today, it said page withdrawn.
