Eric Whitacre

Eric’s haunting arrangement of Trent Reznor’s Hurt performed by the Eric Whitacre Singers and soprano Grace Davidson.

When I go to cover a song, I’m looking for a hook. For me, it was a single note in Trent Reznor’s original version of Hurt, this tritone, and for me that note carries in it all of the emotional information, all of the DNA necessary to build this entire piece.
