• Whitacre:

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