03:04 This stunning spot features a giant wooden xylophone in the middle of a deep forest in Japan. A wooden ball rolls down the instrument to play the keys, each of which make up individual notes of Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire” whenever a step is tapped on.

The base track – vocals and guitar – was recorded on the streets of Santa Monica by a street musician.

01:04 It’s truly magical to watch. The diver is surrounded by millions of golden jellyfish, some almost the size of her head. The video was shot in lovely Jellyfish Lake located in the Pacific island of Palau, the only place in the world where people can swim along with jellyfish. The jellyfish in this specific lake have no predators, so they’ve lost their stinging cells.

03:27 A magical performance of this seasonal favorite, set to the imagery of ethereal holiday lights. Some say that Tchaikovsky originally composed the piece for the glass harmonica, others that it was written for the celesta, which has a less eerie sound and is more percussive.

04:52 A Lithuanian composer was inspired by Nora the piano playing cat and composed a concerto for her to perform as guest soloist via pre-recorded video projected onto a large screen behind the orchestra. It’s been performed all over the world.

Finally the audio and video were mixed together to create the magic you’ll see and hear.

14:35 Composer Eric Whitacre shares the story behind his ‘Virtual Choir’ project which brought together singers from around the world as well as the creative challenges of making music powered by YouTube – and he unveils the first 2 minutes of Sleep, performed with a video choir of 2,052.
