Eric Whitacre

The Eric Whitacre Virtual Choir #6 had more than 17,000 singers. As a response to COVID-19 and the isolation and division the pandemic was creating, Eric wrote the words and music with the hope that ?Sing Gently? might give some small measure of comfort for those who need it, and that it might suggest a way of living with one another that is compassionate, gentle, and kind.

Simple and welcoming Glow was performed for the first time by the World of Color Honor Choir at Disney's California Adventure Park. The Honor Choir made up of over 700 singers from across America were selected to be part of the night-time spectacular Winter Dream show. Now this beautiful piece is available for both men's choirs and women's choirs skillfully adapted by Emily Crocker.

This loving and dreamlike work now available in multiple voicings including SA TB & SAB captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The text is a classic by Rudyard Kipling: ?Oh! Hush thee my baby the night is behind us and black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us at rest in the hollows that rustle between.? Magical! New voicings adapted by Emily Crocker.
