Speaking of music videos, what do you think of this Victoria motet with visuals inspired by rock music videos?

Sung by the group Q. Thank God for the public domain.

Sadly, its all about the singers, as are most MTV style videos, and very little to do with the music itself.

Looks like something produced by Universal Classics and Jazz.

Videos only work when they are informed by an artistic vision – a combination of the visual and musical elements to create a single unit. This doesn’t – look at this one instead :

This one ticks all the boxes and sincerely reflects what the Swingle Singers are all about.
