Sleep (Eric Whitacre) - Behind the Score (Episode 24) (Patreon)
Content
As we finish out the first year of Behind the Score programming, I wanted to go back to some of my roots and share with you a beautiful choral work called Sleep, composed by Eric Whitacre.
Eric is one of the major choir-music rock stars currently working today. This piece was written in 2000 with text by Tony Silvestri, and has sold millions of copies worldwide and is one of the most-performed choral works of the last quarter decade. Specifically for us, I wanted to point to some interesting and revolutionary voicings that Eric includes in his music that makes his music sound so unique. I hope you enjoy!
