    The PS22 Chorus of 2009 has some fun with Coldplay's Grammy nominated song Viva La Vida, the amazing new hit single from the album of the same name. Hope it sweeps the Grammies! I love watching them sing this one, and it has kind of a different sound and feel on the guitar than the previously posted piano and acapella versions, so I thought it merited CZcamsage.... :)
    April sings the solo and sounds better than ever on this one.
    The PS22 Chorus consists of about 60 fifth graders and have sung with Tori Amos, Crowded House, among many others. Visit our above website to find out more about these amazing New York City public school kids.
    Coldplay's new album comes highly recommended, featuring the songs:
    01 Life in Technicolor
    02 Cemeteries of London
    03 Lost!
    04 42
    05 Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love
    06 Yes
    07 Viva la Vida
    08 Violet Hill
    09 Strawberry Swing
    10 Death and All His Friends

    Anyone else come back and watch this every so often because it's one of the best things on the internet? Just me? Thank you for this, PS22. I wonder if you have any idea how much joy you have brought to complete strangers. Your other recordings are great too, but there's something about this one.

    I'm a musician and I come back to this vid and others of Greg and others of PS22 to experience of the way these beautiful children connect so completely and joyfully with the music they sing. It's thrilling to me and a reminder that this is what music is all about.

    This is simply beautiful - look at these children. Look at their faces. Look at this teacher. AND they sound fantastic. I would buy this on itunes. Thank you P22 Chorus and your teacher for posting these. My eyes are filled with tears of joy and my own children are mesmerized.

    @jumpforJOYxD Před 8 lety +46

    This came out when I was in the fifth grade. I remember watching it and feeling like the kids in the video were my friends because I also loved music and went to an intercity public school. Over the years I've watched PS22 chorus videos whenever I felt down and they always brought me back up. Keep creating inspirational work, Mr. B!

  • @sheisasunbeam
    @sheisasunbeam Před 12 lety +3

    I love how some of kids are so filled with feeling for what they're doing that their eyebrows and faces are furrowed with passion. The teacher didn't tell them to act like that - the teacher showed them how music can make you feel, make you move, make you be - and the kids sang and those emotions came through. Anyone who wants to argue that arts education is a waste of time and money should watch the work of the kids of PS22 and then see if they can make their same claims. Excellent work, PS22!

    people like this teacher are the reason i love music! as a product of the NY/NJ public school system, it BROKE MY HEART to still be young when they started cutting funding from music programs across america. i USED TO PLAY three instruments! (violin, cello, and clarinet) by the second grade, i had solos and could play by ear and read music. i am now 20 years old... i no longer remember how to play. it makes me so sad! but you're bringing the joy of music BACK to public schools. GOD BLESS YOU!
