On Thursday 12 December 2024 at 18:00 GMT, experience Choir of the Earth's official Quanta Qualia 3 music video, a stunning testament to global collaboration and the power of choral music.
This video, created by our Creative Director Marc Siese, showcases the voices of our global singers from 2024, seamlessly combined with the recordings from Quanta Qualia 1 (2020) and Quanta Qualia 2 (2021), making it - we believe - the largest recording of the piece in the world. Featuring Laura Peribañez Artero's beautiful new cello solo, this is a rendition to enjoy time and time again.
Quanta Qualia, by British composer Patrick Hawes, is a deeply moving piece with a Latin text by his brother Andrew Hawes. It reflects on patience and the joyous anticipation of future reunions, a message that resonates universally:
“O anima mea, mane! O quanta qualia conventus gaudia erunt.”
("O my soul, wait! O how great and how wonderful the joys of meeting will be.")
