The moment I saw this, I had goosebumps.
Countless times later, I still am moved.
And now Gabriel and I have watched it at least 15 times. We know some of the words and act the scene out; he is the conductor or drummer, and it is magical and holy at the same time. The first time he listened to it, he grabbed my arm and held it tightly. I told him about Goosebumps, happy tears, and the feeling of something profound that moves you.
Last night at dinner, we listened to it, and he asked me to turn it up loud.
Gabriel has very limited screen time, usually, none at all unless he is with me, and then we only watch three you tube clips a day, clips, such as, "How to milk a Cow" or "Tractor Ted'" or “Twenty Trucks for Kids”, and even then it is only three of them, not all of them at once.
So, "A Drop That Contains the Sea" is a big deal as it is the most extended video he has ever watched (No, they do not watch TV, cartoons, or any movie. What is Disney? Or Animation? This Concert/Orchestra for any age is a must-see;
Gabriel and I talked about it often during his two days here. And then we sat and listened to it without the video imagining the conductor, the singers, the violins, the choir, and the nanosecond moment of silence woven into the piece.
Please tell me what you think of it.
