Absolutely sounds like Rite of Spring... SO GOOD!!

The trombone parts give this section an amazing feel. like your floating.

I listened to the Equus recording on your Water Night album, but I like how you integrated vocals into it. Amazing!

ugh, the build-up to this section is one of the best I've ever heard. Eric, you rock. 

I think I see what you did there... (hint: piccolo clarinet at the beginning of the Rite of Spring)

Ghost Train Mvt 2: At The Station

Performed by the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and The St. Olaf Choir in the world premiere performance of "Nox Aurumque" - part of the sold-out VocalEssence "Eric Whitacre Extravaganza" on March 22, 2009 at Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis.

Nox Aurumque

In "Downtown Pavilion," the orchestra captures intricate and chaotic instrumental textures reminiscent of urban environments.  The composition features a muscular use of harmony and form, characterized by choppy, often disjointed themes.  A prominent aspect is a recurring theme that persistently intertwines the different sections.  This new interpretation of "the symphonic poem" draws inspiration with some humor likened to "Respighi on acid," aiming to create a vibrant and complex orchestral language through a maximalist approach.

G.F. Handel - The Arrival of The Queen of Sheba

"Whitacre is that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original"
- The Daily Telegraph, London

Eric has inspired millions as composer, conductor, innovator, broadcaster and charismatic public speaker. His compositions rank among the most popular and frequently performed of the early 21st century, their reach broadened since 2010 by the extraordinary success of his online Virtual Choir project. Light & Gold, his first album as composer and conductor, won the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Choral Recording and instantly topped the US and UK classical album charts.

Born in Nevada, he discovered a passion for choral music while studying at UNLV and he began composing soon after. He went on to study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York under John Corigliano. Many of his choral compositions, Cloudburst, Lux Aurumque and Sleep among them, have entered the standard choral repertoire and his orchestral music has been performed by some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras both sides of the Atlantic. Eric is currently Composer-in-Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, UK.

A distinguished speaker, Eric has been invited to address the UN Leaders Programme, give the closing plenary at Davos World Economic Forum and to speak for UNICEF and Google among others. He has appeared twice on the main stage at the global TED conference in Long Beach CA, earning standing ovations on both occasions. Recent Virtual Choir projects include ‘Glow’ written for the Winter Dreams holiday show at Disneyland© Adventure California and the Virtual Youth Choir, in association with UNICEF, which premiered at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Broadcast live to 119 countries worldwide, Eric made his iTunes Festival debut with his professional choir in 2014, inviting multi award-winning composer and conductor Hans Zimmer to join him on stage. The performance was consequently released as a live album. Eric returned to the Minnesota Orchestra for a second residency in 2015 culminating in three performances at Orchestra Hall.
