Eric Whitacre On Myspace?!?!
Some of you may be thinking to yourself "who the crap is Eric Whitacre?" Well, I would say that he is one of my favorite all-time composers and probably my favorite band composer (though Gustav Holst, J.P. Sousa, and Donald Grantham come in very close). Well, one of my friends told me that Eric Whitacre has a Myspace account. My first reaction was "What?", then I though "Holy geez...that's freakin' awesome!" Anyway, "Sleep" was probably my most favorite piece that I've played throughout my high school career.
Even though he has the choral version on his Myspace, I recommend that you listen to it. The chords towards the climax of the piece will send chills down your spine (in the good sense). It really is an awesome work. Go here and be amazed!
