    Alone

  • Eric: Ah, I totally understand. Best of luck at the performance, Michael!
  • Michael Murphy: Eric, thank you for checking. The "Oculi" is beautiful indeed but the "Alone" specifically met a need for my convention program.
  • Eric: Michael, I'm afraid I won't have an SATB version read in time for you; my apologies. Have you considered my new Oculi Omnium?
  • Michael Murphy: Eric, I would need to begin very soon!
  • Eric: Not quite yet, Michael - when would you need to begin rehearsals?
  • Michael Murphy: Eric, I wanted to perform your Alone this April at the Idaho Music Educators Conference. Is it available yet? Michael Murphy Director of Choral Activities University of Idaho

    • Alleluia

  • Brady Allred: I have been fortunate to be a part of Bakersfield College Chamber Singers, as a Tenor 1, under the direction of Ron Kean. I believe you know him. While there, I sang Sleep, Lux Arumque, Hebrew Love Songs, and A Boy and A Girl. Then I went to BYU-I and sang with
  • Bethany: This is sooooooo from October! :3 I love this! :) My band played October on my junior year & got a 1!!!! If it wasn't for my band director being obsessed with you in your music then I wouldn't know anything about you because I was in the band/choir room for 6/8 of my classes...haha
  • Karol Gacek: I am absolutely in love with this piece..and well..I'm in love with your work. I requested to my choir director that we do one of your pieces in the choir I'm in currently, because I've heard the other choir at my school doing your other pieces like Lux Aurumque and Sleep, and I've fallen in

    • When David Heard

  • Marguerite Samuel: Thank you for writing this incredibly wonderful piece. It speaks exactly what the text implies and says. It is reveals the beauty, and ugliness of a father's love for his child. Thank you!
  • Jenna: Dear Mr. Whitacre, In the past, when I thought my life couldn't get much harder, I found myself listening to your compositions and they always made me feel so much better, at least until the next tragedy struck, and then, dutifully, I would return to listen again. Recently, my life has been spiraling out of control and

    • Water Night

  • Zeng Cha: When I first personally experience Eric Whitacre's music I was a sophmore year in high school [I'm a junior now so last year]. It was Lux Aurumque that had activated something in my mind that opened new doors for me. Having been in my high school choir since freshman year, I now listen to everything
  • Ricardo Curihuinca: Eric ... .. perhaps a further comment will not be surprised much, but two years ago I discovered his music, which I deeply impacted me and identified me much time. Is great as their music creates a whole atmosphere, transports, especially with the vocals, I just love! You know, here in Chile and do his music. A

    • Sleep

  • Dan DePriest: Quite a complement for Eric here: " If ole Eric can't get permission to set Frost no one can."
  • Dan DePriest: I think they probably realize by now they blew it big time.
  • Gretta: The first time I heard Sleep was from my dad and once he showed me I could not stop listening to it. I laid my head down and closed my eyes picturing the words & music painting a picture (I pictured angels singing in heaven to a child to help him fall asleep). I

    • The Seal Lullaby

  • Meredith B.: My High School Select Choir is singing this for our Spring concert. We are all so excited be cause it is such a beautiful song and we are all huge fans of Mr. Whitacre. Thanks for writing such lovely music. My High School Band is also playing October. It is going to be amazing.

    • Lux Aurumque

  • Zac: What can I say ?. I've recently had a really bad time, losing someone very important to me and your music really helped me. The harmonic progressions and sheer beauty of your compositions is totally mindblowing. At a very emotional time I'd like to thank you for composing such awesome music. Being

    • A Boy and a Girl

  • David Brewer: What happened to the strings version!?!? It was my favorite thing in the whole world : ( please please repost if you can.
  • Erik: This has become probably one of my favourite pieces of all time, ever. I have put this work on unlimited repeat numerous of times, everytime it ends I want to experience it again and again. If I ever strand on a deserted island, this is the work I want to have with me, it's so
