Video — The Mission / How Great Thou Art - The Piano Guys (Wonder of The World 2 of 7)
The Mission / How Great Thou Art
(The Piano Guys Wonders of the World Series)
This is the second in the series where The Piano Guys go to one of the 7 Wonders of the World. In this video, they go to the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). They also visit Iguazu Falls near the border of Argentina.
The music is a mashup (mix) of two tunes. One is called Gabriel's Oboe. It is the most famous music from the soundtrack of the movie The Mission. The setting of the movie is at Iguazu Falls. It is a wonderful movie and I strongly recommend it. It has a beautiful theme about love (not romantic). I cry every time I see it. The other music is a Christian hymn called How Great Thou Art.
Enjoy the video again.
