Have you heard of Eric Whitacre and his music?
I was first introduced to his music through a TED talk.
Back when I was in various choirs in high school and college, we sang beautiful, soaring eight part choral numbers by Bach, F. Melius Christansen, and others similar composers. But a couple of my nieces have sung Whitacre's music during their time in choir.
Earlier this month, he and the Eric Whitacre Singers were at the Basilica of St. Josaphat in Milwaukee and I was lucky enough to attend, along with my sister, nieces and nephew.
To hear them...in person...
in a place so beautiful...with such perfect acoustics...is nearly beyond words.
Moving.
Profound.
