Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 " As it is in Heaven " is the title of a fairly recent Swedish film. It's about a famous composer / conductor who is sick and who returns to his home town. He left there when a small boy, but no-one knows it is he who is returning. He takes over the church choir, and the priest gets jealous - with all kinds of consequences. I don't want to give the film away, but in one scene there is a nice very special " chord " . A harmony of voices. Just out of interest, has anyone seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Here is a link to it: http://www.sjobo.nu/resource//fdjc6hbas7wegsHH/Himmelen.mp3 It comes about becasue the conductor doesn't turn up for a performance, so while they are waiting, one of the choir, who is " mentally challenged " , starts making a noise. Then parts of the choir begin to join in, adding their bit. Soon the whole choir is singing, spontaneously. Eventually the whole audience, which is international, is roused and stand ups up making the same, tuneless yet harmonious chant. Everyone contributes their special little talent, young and old, clever, stupid, rich, poor, sophisticated, simple, in this united, world chorus. It's like, the man who made the tune happen, the form, the melody, is gone, so now the voices resume to their natural state. Do you know what I mean? You have to see the movie I guess. It's one of my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
