    Thanks for the comments everyone! I've always been very proud of this piece... even more than Baba Yetu, Sogno di Volare, and some of my better known ones. And conducting the final few minutes is a total blast. :)

      Baba Yetu is the song in the language from the place where humankind initially evolved from, the so-called "Cradle of Life." I think that should qualify as the anthem of humanity.

Welsh has about 540.000, Scottish about 1.5 million, which is about the same as Luo. I never knew it existed before 5 minutes ago.

      As another African immigrant, you have expressed exactly how I feel. The longing for rain, the calm before the storm, the disappointment when the expected rains don't eventuate, the joy when they do, and the satisfaction of a good crop realised. Above all, the rapidity of change in the vast landscape. It never really leaves you, and pieces like this just bring it all straight back. Thank you so much!

    What this teaches us, is that you can produce a masterpiece, put it on the internet, and it'll take the world 4 to 6 year before discovering you. But once it's done, you'd better have a lot of good stuff already there. It's the case for this masterpiece trending on TikTok and Instagram Reels lately, and it's been the same for Ayushman the kid that sang "Lord I thank you for sunshine". I pray all the hard work you're doing get recognized one day by many more people than you could ever imagine.

    If you have this on repeat raise your hands up🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😅😅😅. When I fall in love with a song, I feel sorry for the song because I do not have mercy on the song, I play it until it dies. I mean, “If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken and so die”…and since a song like this cannot die…it is up for a long journey on my device.
    Goodness mine, this is beautiful❤❤❤❤

    I genuinely believe this is the picture definition of what humanity should be. Cultures from all over the world stood beside each other building something so beautiful. I think the reason I cry when i listen to this despite not knowing the culture (outside of the research I've done about the piece) is because this is what peace looks like. Someone said in the comments that if theres anything that we want aliens to see first its this and I completely agree. Christopher you have shown the world that humanity can be beautiful.

    Nobody asked, but in no particular order, these are things I love about being able to watch this performance:
    1. The soloists are incredible - the power in their voices really shines and that bit at the climax where they sing simultaneously for the first time is SO good! They blend so well, and clearly make a great team.
    2. The little exchanges and glances between the conductor and the soloists - you look like you're having so much fun in general but I love being able to see that you're about to bring in a soloist for their next bit by watching your eyeline and expressions.
    3. The percussionist who pops up with a new instrument every five minutes with a plain expression like it's nothing, in a way that kind of reminds me of a bugs bunny sketch? He's clearly very good at what he does, and I know percussionists generally do have to play multiple instruments in a piece, but this one in particular makes me smile.
