  • Malik Walker: I am currently a sophomore in high school; I am a member of the Central SugarBear Band, I play the Horn.. After hearing this piece, I have been inspired to take my musical abilities far beyond what was originally intended when I first started off learning the fundamentals. This piece just brings out the best

    • 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

    • Sleep

  • Amanda Rivas: I first heard sleep this year in my honors level music class. I'm a sophomore at the moment and the first time I heard the minor seconds, chills ran down my spine. Sometimes when we sing this piece in class, I feel tears running down my cheeks from the sheer beauty of this piece. We
  • Haley: Sleep has been one of my all time favorite pieces since the marching band I preformed in, Sound of Sun Prairie, had used it as our ballad in 2010. This year, it was chosen as a piece for us to sing my senior year of choir. Being able to relive this phenomenal piece of music

    • 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.

    • 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
  • Matt Bardin: The all state band I was in played the concert band arrangement of this piece, and it has since become my favorite song to listen to. This music just seems to mesh with my soul in a way nothing else ever does. My favorite thing about the piece though, is that I was able to
