    She Weeps Over Rahoon

  • larosa: This music is very peaceful I like it there are no other songs that sound so mysterious. Soothing and graceful it feels the mind with clear thoughts. I assume it does to mine. I love it.

    • 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
  • Angel: That was soo wonderful!!! I'm singing this song is chorus right now and I was looking at the notes and they were dead on.
  • 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.
  • India: I LOVE this piece. I had the chance to learn it for TMEA Region Auditions this year, but we didn't perform it. :-( I REALLY EXTREMELY VERY MUCH think that next year's Virtual Choir should be this piece. It's so beautiful, original, and just fantastic over all.
  • Amanda: This piece of music is incredibly beautiful. I am in a wind ensemble and I play Flute 2 on this piece. every time I go to band class I always beg to play this song because it is full of such beauty and delicacy. I also performed your song Water Night in a Region Choir
  • Ed: Such beauty. I would die if this movie were ever actually made.
  • Barend: Ahhh I love this song. I sang it with my choir and we were enchanted by the lyrics and music. Your awesome
  • Shea Wilson: Hey Mr. Whitacre, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I wanted you to know something. I wanted you to know that your music is always present in my heart. It always echoes in my mind, always presenting an encore. Heartwarming is your music... moreso than any other heart reflects. Your heart has the
  • Ivan Lemus: Hi, I belong to a choir in Guatemala called "Capella Cantorum", and we love singing this beautiful song. We have recorded it and upload it to my YouTube channel "lemusivan", I hope you guys can take a look at it and let us know if you like our interpretation of it. Greetings to
  • Bryan Pless: I sang this at Western Michigan University...was one of the most emotional performances I have been a part of.
  • Sarah: This song has a very deep and special meaning to me. My choir director had this song all picked out for a festival and everything, when we(all of us in his Show Choir) got the news that a member of our choir, who is also a dear friend of mine, had just lost his father

    • Five Hebrew Love Songs

  • Samantha Kamp: Your music rests in a special part of my soul. It has guided me through my journey with music. The music that you compose is just magical, astonishing in fact. I deeply commend you for your amazing works. My choir is performing "Five Hebrew Love Songs" the SSA arrangement (All girls school) and I have
  • Alicia Mahon: I just ordered these for solo soprano and hope to perform them at my recital in the fall! I can not WAIT to begin rehearsing them! I just participated in the Sing with Eric at Carnegie Hall, and these were by far my favorite! :)
  • Sarah: The violin part is extremely small in the solo version. Is there a "Whitacre-approved" version of the violin score? There are several that google gives back, but I'd like to know what I'm going to get before I spend more money. Not having a separate violin part is very annoying, Mr. Whitacre.
  • Peggy Walt: Hello there from Halifax, Nova Scotia! We are performing 5 Hebrew Love Songs (SSA version) and we would like to know if we can obtain a copy of the songs in Hebrew (not transliteration)? We have a couple of Hebrew speakers who are helping us with pronunciation, and they've asked for that.
  • Cecile Astruc: Hello M. Witacre, excuse me for the english, I am french and i don't speak english verry well. I've recently discovered and I first loved your concept of virtual choir. Then I found your other creations and your 5 Hebrew love songs. I run a small choir in France and I wanted to order the partition
  • Trevor Kaminski: Hey Mr. Whitacre. To be honest, the first time I heard this piece, I didn't care for it all that much. Now, I shed a tear every time I listen to it. It totally grew on me. The "Eyze Shelleg!" movement is so haunting. It captures that somber and quiet feeling the environment has on
