Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine (Eric Whitacre) | Behind the Score Ep. 43 (Patreon)

On this edition of BTS, I'm returning to my choral roots and to the music of Eric Whitacre. I was inspired to review and share this piece by listening to the new Big Big Train album Ingenious Devices. The BBT album sparked a memory in me of performing this work by Eric many years ago.

There's much we can learn from Eric's technique...especially in the voicings he uses for unaccompanied choir. I hope you enjoy!
