--- End quote ---

I am quite the Whitacre fan. My high school select choir tried to perform a piece of his, but unfortunately, it's very hard things for a 16 piece choir to do. I actually have his Cloudburst album, which has most of his major choral works condensed into a block of musical crack.

Hawksong:
Our primary collegiate choir did Cloudburst and Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, in the same year (the year they went to Carnegie Hall, in fact-- that was University of Southern Mississippi Chorale, the year of Hurricane Katrina).
The choir I sing with (the Concert Choir, kind of second fiddle to the main Chorale but still a good group) did "A Boy and a Girl" by Whitacre, this fall. It was VERY difficult and required a lot of work! But sooooo worth it!
I'm still trying to find my copy of "I thank you God" by JD Frizzell...grrrrr...wanna upload it, but no CD in sight yet.

JimmyJazz:
Guys, Igor Stravinsky. The Rite of Spring may be the greatest piece of music ever.
