This a cappella collection of pieces for mixed choir by Eric Whitacre is the first available printed music compilation of its kind for the composer. The book includes pieces of varying difficulty wide-rangingin theme from the iconic Sleep and Water Night to the quietly angelic Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold) and the recent Nox Aurumque (Night and Gold). A Boy and a Girl and ThisMarriage are both wonderfully tender pieces and the inclusion of the early Go Lovely Rose marks the beginning of a journey through Whitacre's choral output from this first success to the present day.Eric Whitacre is a Los Angeles-based composer and conductor who is held in the highest esteem everywhere inspiring and motivating a new generation of singers and musicians. His music creates a visceral impassioned response in audiences and performers. In 2008 the all-Whitacre choral CD 'Cloudburst' released by the British ensemble Polyphony on Hyperion Records became and unexpected international best-seller topping theclassical charts and earning a Grammy nomination. The BBC raves that 'what hits you straight between the eyes is the honesty optimism and sheer belief that passes any pretension. This is music that can actually make yousmile'.

Arranged for Soprano voice Violin and Piano.Violin part available separately: CH75240-01.Note from the composer:In the spring of 1996 my great friend and brilliant violinistFriedemann Eichhorn invited me and my girlfriend-at-the-time Hila Plitmann (a soprano) to give a concert with him in his home city of Speyer Germany. We had all met that year as students at the Juilliard School and wereinseparable. Because we were appearing as a band of travelling musicians 'Friedy' asked me to write a set of troubadour songs for Piano Violin and Soprano. I asked Hila (who was born and raised in Jerusalem) to write me a few'postcards' in her native tongue and a few days later she presented me with these exquisite and delicate Hebrew poems. I set them while we vacationed in a small skiing village in the Swiss Alps and we performed them for thefirst time a week later in Speyer.In 2001 the University of Miami commissioned me to adapt the songs for SATB chorus and string quartet and the Efroni Choir in Israel commissioned me to adapt them for SA Violin andPiano leaving me now with five(!) different versions of the same work: SATB and String Quartet; SATB Violin and Piano; SA and String Quartet; SA Violin and Piano; and the original Soprano Violin and Piano.Eachof the songs captures a moment that Hila and I shared together. 'Kalá kallá' (which means 'light bride') was a pun I came up with while she was first teaching me Hebrew. The bells at the beginning of 'Éyzeshélleg' are the exact pitches that awakened us each morning in Germany as they rang from a nearby cathedral.These songs are profoundly personal for me born entirely out of my new love for this soprano poetand now my beautiful wife Hila Plitmann.Eric Whitacre
