In "Fly to Paradise," Whitacre has combined 5,900 submissions to form a choir made up of sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. The video projects the faces of the volunteers onto virtual buildings to show just how massive this collective is. Besides the sheer number of volunteers, the demographics of the singers are also considerable: They consist of people from 101 countries, aged 6 to 98. Aside from the dozen people who helped Whitacre and what he calls a "small army of volunteers," the project was completed thanks to $122,000 in Kickstarter money. Though the song itself is only a couple of minutes long, the full video takes more than 13 minutes just to list every single member of the choir.
