I'm so disappointed that not once in my life have I run into a random place and been surprised by one of those flash mobs of classic pieces like Beethoven 9 or Carmina Burana. This article talks about the mainstream phenomenon that flash mobs in public places. I'm curious, have any of you guys experienced one of these before? Or even participated?
Also, check out this amazing O Fortuna flash mob, makes me so happy!
Okay, a few points I'd like to make:
ReplyDelete1. I LOVE FLASH MOBS.
2. I love Carmina Burana. And I want to sing it sooooo badly!
3.This flash mob is interesting because it starts out with instruments. When I think of a flash mob I typically think of a random person in the crowd randomly starting to sing. And then a few others join in, and eventually it's a crowd of people singing. I like the inconspicuousness of the singing because there is no warning that music is about to be played, but I also like the use of the instruments. I have never experienced nor participated in a flash mob but would love to. Once I was invited to be a part of a flash mob but it never ended up happening. Lets get a bunch of SoM people to do a flash mob in the middle of campus sometime! BEETHOVEN 9!!!! :)
