Whalesong

This video is about whales and the SONGS they create. Whale songs sound very different from the kind of songs that humans create, but just like humans, their songs are passed down to their children. This video is about a composer named Alan Hovhaness who wrote a song called, "And God Created the Great Whales." The song is going to be performed at the Vancouver Aquarium in the presence of 3 killer whales named Hyak, Finna and Bjossa and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
