From composer Eric Whitacre comes a brand new work, the lush and achingly beautiful Sleep. Commissioned by the Big East Consortium, this haunting chorale begins softly and slowly blossoms to a powerful climax. Can also be performed with optional SATB chorus, with original text by celebrated American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. (5:40).
