Sleep Eric Whitacre Pdf [UPDATED]
From the composer of the much performed Cloudburst, here is a new collaboration between Eric Whitacre and poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, drawing on the mystical moment between awareness and sleep. While the voice range is accessible, Sleep requires a big enough choir to handle the divisi passages. First premiered at the 2001 ACDA National Convention by the Concordia College Choir, Rene Clausen conductor. Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series.

I was crushed. The piece was dead, and would sit under my bed for the next 37 years as a result of rulings by heirs and lawyers. After many discussion with my wife, I decided that I would ask my friend and brilliant poet Charles Anthony Silvestri (Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, Lux Aurumque) to set new words to the music I had already written. This was an enormous task, because I was asking him to not only write a poem that had the exact structure of the Frost poem, but that it would even incorporate key words from Stopping By Woods, like 'sleep'. Tony wrote an absolutely exquisite poem, finding a completely different (but equally beautiful) message in the music I had already written.
This expressive, lush choral work by Eric Whitacre combines an enigmatic text and expansive chordal harmonies into a sublime musical statement of release and quiet resolve. With a text by celebrated American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, it is a particularly moving perspective on the journey into sleep and, finally, to dream. Stunning!
Grammy-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre is one of the most popular musicians of his generation. His concert music has been performed throughout the world by millions of amateur and professional musicians alike, while his groundbreaking Virtual Choirs have united singers from over 110 different countries. The Seal Lullaby uses text by Rudyard Kipling and was originally written for an animated film that ultimately didn't happen. Whitacre then didn't do anything with it other than sing it to his baby son every night to get him to sleep ? claiming a success rate of less than 50%!
This loving and dreamlike work captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The piece was inspired by classic Rudyard Kipling: "Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us, And black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us, At rest in the hollows that rustle between." Magical!
