So this is just absolutely incredible. I can’t fathom how somebody’s mind can even work that way, to come up with something so beautiful. I honestly didn’t want it to end. Thanks so much for this!!
I saw Jacob with Chris Thile and Punch brothers in their variety show Energy Curfew Music hour off Broadway in February. Jacob and Chris singing and playing Warmth of the Sun was an experience to treasure. At the end Jacob conducted the audience in choral notes up and down as he apparently did at Glastonbury. It was a healing thing really. I later read how singing does give the body relief. It was corny but still truly musical. I have heard some complain about him but I was moved by seeing him.
He does that audience-sing thing a lot, and it can be corny. Still I was disarmed by the sound of those NSO patrons singing the "I Love You" line back to the stage, in tune and (mostly) in rhythm. As you said, another reminder that music -- any music! -- can be healing.

Right? And he brings such lightness to every aspect of the work. Inspiring!
