From the small Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska: The Hallelujah Chorus from "The Messiah" (heh!)
Done like you've never seen before. This video from the small Yapiq Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaskall , was a school computer project intended for the other Yupiq villages in the area. Much to the villagers' shock, over a half million people have viewed it.

5. It made me cry, thank you very much...
Must be the combination of the real people in their very real world, with ice and snow and snug houses and groceries...and those beautiful smiles...
and the absolutely glorious music.

7. Loved the variety of methods they used. Clever.
I've sent it to friend to boost the count.

This will be their thrill of the year when it hits 1M.

13. well to be fair, the Hallelujah Chorus is up there with Beethoven's 9th
in terms of being world renowned.
