Product Description

Eric Whitacre's dedication to the
beauty of sound, paired with
exquisite texts, results in a poetic
combination that creates a unique
sonic experience. These works
are existential choral moments,
beautifully crafted, and harmonised
to express a compressed moment in
time. Such sublime sonorities
transcend descriptions such as
'warm', 'glistening' or 'shimmering',
although these features of his choral
works do suggest affinities with
the sound worlds of Arvo PÃ¤rt
or John Tavener, for instance.
However, Whitacre's fluid lines and
blossoming harmonies give his music
its own highly personal and
irresistible magic.
