Absolutely beautiful, voices of angels, singing for 27 angels. There are no boundaries, music is universal, Christmas this year will be tough for a lot of families, no better way to light up the season, if only for 4 minutes.
A group of young students joined the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles for a poignant holiday tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedies in Newtown, Conn.
On Dec. 15, 46 students from the Creative Planet School of the Arts joined the men for an arrangement of "Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy," made famous by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
"Music has a way of speaking to people that spoken words do not, and we felt that dedicating this video to the victims of Newtown was the only way to express our sorrow, grief and thoughts of hope," Christopher Verdugo, Executive Director of GMCLA, is quoted by Towleroad and a number of other media outlets as saying.

Beautiful and inspiring. The GMCLA is alone simply wonderful, add to it the voices of young people and something very special was presented. The scars of that horrible day will be with us for a long time. Things like this do seem to ease the pain that so many Americans are feeling at this time. Well done Gay Men's Chorus of LA.

Very beautiful young people in this chorus. They should come to Salt Lake City and sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I bet the sound would be heavenly Music is about love and not hate , hate could never sound this beautiful. It would be grand if the Mormons invited them.
