This is a holiday treat for singers players and audiences.

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.

Par WHITACRE ERIC. Arrangé par rapport au texte d'Octavio Paz, c'est un arrangement imaginatif pour chorale SATB, clochettes, percussion et piano. Inspiré par le poème de Paz et une tempete de sable dans un désert, Whitacre a composé cette oeuvre de façon à pouvoir inclure des claquements de doigts qui simulent la pluie et des feuilles pour l'orage. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Rép Classique / Feuillet / Scores
