Recently I was quite into choir music and found Eric Whitacre a very amazing composer and choir conductor. His Virtual Choir projects inspired a lot people. So this is a brief intro about him and his music 'Seal Lullaby'.

THE STORY OF CREATION

3. In the Film Studio

5. “I WAS STRUCK SO DEEPLY BY
THOSE FIRST BEAUTIFUL WORDS,
AND A SIMPLE, SWEET DISNEY-
ESQUE SONG JUST CAME
GUSHING OUT OF ME. I WROTE IT
DOWN AS QUICKLY AS I COULD,
HAD MY WIFE RECORD IT WHILE I
ACCOMPANIES HER AT THE
PIANO, AND THEN DROPPED IT
OFF AT THE FILM STUDIO.”

6. And, it
TURNS OUT TO BE…

8. Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o’er the combers, looks downward to find us,
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow,
Oh weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas!
Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936

14. THE MOMENT
「我第一次看見時感動得哭了，我簡直不敢相信
這像詩一樣美的歌聲，這些在他們各自荒島上的
靈魂，將瓶中電子訊息發給彼此。」
