This, coupled with another clip of Handel’s Messiah in a shopping mall are my two favorite flashmob videos. Thanks for sharing.

It’s funny because I started smiling and laughing out loud watching those children with their very own joy! The little girl in red on the pole was a gem! It really comes up and out of the heart doesn’t it? Truely an ” Ode to Joy! Wonderful way to start the day! Thanks for sharing ~

I showed this to the Small People who live here the other day … my stepdaughter loved the children conducting the orchestra, and as she and her brother were walking away, talking about the video I overheard my stepson saying, “I just really liked the music.” Me, I had a huge grin on my face and tears in my eyes. Such overwhelming joy and beauty.
