Gorgeous music! I've raved about Eric Whitacre's music before. Here's an excerpt of Sleep which is currently my favorite Whitacre composition, available directly from Eric Whitacre's web site. I think it's probably the BYU Singers rendition.

Way to go, Mr. Whitacre! I suppose I must also mention another track I listened to, composed by another of my favorite composers, John Rutter. It's the first movement of Magnificat, from track 19 on my The Cambridge Singers Collection CD. Celestial music! Eeek, I guess I rant about good music often enough that I ought to create a separate category for it. *laugh* | |
