    What can anyone say about the choral music of Eric Whitacre that hasn't already been said? To say that his compositions are beautiful is an understatement. This cd is full of Whitacre pieces that I can listen to over and over again. I especially adore This Marriage and Little Birds. The Elora Festival singers, under the direction of Noel Edison, perform each piece with incredible precision and and their tone is simply beautiful. Buy the cd - you won't be disappointed.

    Eric Whitacre: Choral Music is a wonderful recent release produced by the Elora Festival Singers. I have played wind ensemble arrangements of two of the songs, "Sleep" and "Lux Aurumque" and already loved the music, but this choral production is just luscious. I really love the tension and release of the major and minor 2nd harmonic intervals that resolve into something more commonly heard. The textures and sparkling sounds are unique and so beautifully executed by the singers. Awesome music!

  • A Must Buy!

    This is the second disc that I have absolutely just wanted to jump with choral excitement for! What a great group of performers! Their radiant tone speaks of their attention to blend and precision of breath. While I am not a huge fan of the straight tone sound, this group executes it without any hint of trouble and definitely has no intonation issues. Eric Whitacre’s music is already a majestic accomplishment—the intricate harmonies in themselves are just incredible. But more exciting is to have a group like this sing his music—with such concern for tone, clarity in blend, attention to the dynamics, precision in phrasing, and performance quality of perfection! This is not your typical choral music…but it is WONDERFUL! A MUST BUY!

    What a beautiful recording! Eric Whitacre is one of my favorite composers, and this ensemble is breathtaking! The complex harmonies sound crystalline, and the musicianship is first-rate. This disc is a fine performance of some of Eric Whitacre's best-loved compositions!
