The ending just keeps getting quieter and quieter and even more beautiful, and then Eric laughs. It's like waking up from a dream.

Quite possibly the most beautiful and moving choral performance I have ever heard. This is the power of the human voice. I could listen to this for the next 100 years. Eric, your talent is beyond comprehension. Your gifts to the world are this music. Thank you!

The skill of those singers not drifting to each other's notes during those moments of dissonance. So good.

Listen to Palestrina. Maybe this is what he would sound like if he were a composer today, five hundred years later.

You know, Eric Whitacre has gotten so much flack for his conducting, but when you watch it here, it looks so perfectly clear, beautiful, and expressive. I would adore singing under him.

Guido Anselmi I haven’t heard much about it, but I’d assume it’s because he doesn’t follow the traditional approach (following a beat pattern, not mirroring, that sort of thing). But I would agree, if it gets the job done, it gets the job done.

I've felt so too looking at his early videos. however, if you check out for example when he came to visit Stockholm with St Jacobs Vokalensemble for a workshop (it's on KZbin), he really made me open up my eyes, being in that ensemble (and also filming it). He's so fluent, moves in an out with the ensemble to communicate emotions and is such a clear communicator of his music that it's hard to fail if you know what your're doing. He grew into a fabulous choral leader and is also a very inspiring individual.

Before beginning class, our Choir teacher played this for us to listen to. I really want to do this because wide vowels and angelic choirs always gets my heart racing. The sound it produces is amazing.

That's an incredibly difficult piece of choir music and they do it good justice. I was looking for a piece for our community choir, but this is a bit above our league. I hadn't heard of Eric Whitacre previously, or his choir. I'll have to search out a version with the words. Nice reverberant acoustics without being OTT or mushy.

- Eric Whitacre - The Seal Lullaby - Seal Lullaby, by 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 - - Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow - Oh weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease - The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee - Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas! - Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas! - - - - “The White Seal,” the story of the albino seal messiah Kotick, who saves his kind from the slaughtering fur traders by finding them a beach completely inaccessible to man on which they could live. The story begins with the “Seal Lullaby.” - - - - The lyrics of this song are a poem, "Seal Lullaby, " written by Rudyard Kipling as an introduction to "The White Seal," the seventh story in "The Jungle Book," first published in 1894. - The tune was written by Eric Whiteacre in 2004.

It could be called an Fadd2add4 chord or an Fadd9add11 chord, but I think the second one might be more accurate. Either way, the notes are F, C, G, A, C, F, A, Bb in order from lowest to highest.

Ya know, on some videos I just love mute, here I had to turn around, the juxtaposition of what I was hearing and seeing was a bit much. Such beautiful music out of one who conducts so badly and is a bit greasy while dressing like his Junior High School son, and no, I don't know if he has a junior high son - but he has his clothes. Again, great music, it was just better not watching how they make sausage or seeing what they put in it. Lastly, everyone knows (or should at least) the music is over a few measures after the final cut off, the laugh at the end was akin to pissing on a freshly mopped floor. Music lives within time, maturity is required to understand that. Appreciating what one just heard is reflected in the amount of time an individual gives themselves to reflect upon it. The laugh at the end was distasteful. Who in their right mind provides a meal of untold delights to only serve dung for desert...............all before was ruined..............that's the way music works..................
