    Pirates of the Caribbean IV

  • Sam Albert: My high school band is using this piece to build our marching show around, so needless to say I'm rather excited about next year. (We are also using music from the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events and Dystopia, a piece written by Jim Casella)
  • Josh Barron: This is good but it needs more Eric than Hans. You are so talented and I hope to see whole film scores from you in the future. Hollywood needs something different, original and I think you can present something totally new and fresh. Thank you for providing such great music over the years!

  • Justin: My friend 2 friends (1 alto and the other soprano) my friend from Virginia ( who is a beast tenor) and I had the "october" score in front of us and we sang this, on a "Ooh". we were all in tears by the end. this has to be my favorite piece of choral music.

  • Joon Park: A band arrangement of a piece from Paradise Lost!? I can't wait to hear this. I would LOVE to be able to play this in a band.

    • Godzilla Eats Las Vegas

  • Nathan: Incredible piece. I played timpani for this particular song and, for a 4-timpani set, this was one of the most difficult songs I've played. You are constantly thinking measures ahead about what drum to tune to what pitch so that you don't have to stop. It was a great break from the standard 4 and

  • Sarah: First time hearing this, absolutely beautiful.

    • The Seal Lullaby

  • CDL: Heard this for the first time recently...there's such a purity and transparency to this piece, yet a striking depth and gravitas. I do hope you'll keep writing lullabies--and film music. Any chance this film will ever be made?
  • Pam: I used this piece in my wedding for when the grandparents and parents were walking down the aisle! The lyrics seemed very fitting, I chose the instrumental version though.
  • Tommy: Hello Mr. Whitacre! I got told by my teacher that 20 students from my school was invited to sing with the Vancouver Chamber Choir next year under you direction. We were told that we would be singing Seal Lullaby, Cloudburst, and Sleep. Because of the teacher strike situations, there is to be no extra curricular activities

    • Lux Aurumque

  • Hannah Froncek: This song.... The way that the harmony and dissonance play against each other, and yet also together is absolutely beautiful. It rings like a chime; a deep, beautiful chime. The concert choir is singing this song this year, but unfortunately, being one of the lowly freshmen, I don't get to be in concert choir until I'm
  • Steve: Both of my daughters were in the all-state band that premiered Lux Arumque, so I must cry every time I hear it. The three-note horn solo is my oldest, and those are the best three notes I ever experienced in a long life dedicated to music and music education. Lux will be played when my

    • Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine

  • Ilana Klein: Hi Mr. Whitacre! My school finally almost tackled Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine and I wanted to show you in hopes that you would somehow maybe see it. Here's the link and I hope you enjoy it! It's a bit Alto heavy because it's my friend's recording and she was recording in the alto

    • A Boy and a Girl

  • Cooper Aiken: I think it's so awesome how you paint the text with the chords. In almost every chord there is a major or minor second pairing, like the pairing of two lovers... a boy and a girl. YOU ROCK SIR ERIC!!!
