Eric Whitacre's "Deep Field: The Impossible Magnitude of our Universe" is a unique film and musical experience inspired by one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time: the Hubble Telescope's Deep Field image.

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato a parlare della DreamWorks e dei suoi film arrivati, arrivando a discutere di una delle opere più strane e assurde che abbiano mai fatto, Bee Movie. Barry è un’ape che vive in un’alveare e dovrà iniziare a lavorare, ma rimane deluso quando scopre che, appena sceglierà un lavoro, dovrà fare solo quello per tutta la…

Sunlit days at Hogwarts

Partly inspired by this moving choral piece, A Boy and a Girl, by Eric Whitacre.

Lyrics:

Stretched out on the grass,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their oranges,

Giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.

Stretched out on the beach,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their limes,

Giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.

Stretched out underground,

A boy and a girl.

Saying nothing, never kissing,

Giving silence for silence.

Does Eric Whitacre still have the same chokehold on today’s high school choir that he did in the mid 2000s?

Child of Wonder

Child of wonder Child of sky Time to end your voyage Time to die. Silent slumber calls you Dark and deep Child of soft surrender Child of sleep.

—————

Child of sorrow Child of rain There is no tomorrow No more pain. Turn your silvered sail Toward the light Child of mourning Child of night.

—————

Child of iridescence Child of dream Stars and moons will guide you Down the stream. Stretched on ocean waves Of endless foam Welcome home my child Welcome home.

— Eric Whitacre, The Sacred Veil (choral masterpiece)

Happy Birthday, Eric Whitacre 🎉 Sarah collaborated with Eric and his Virtual Choir (composed of people from all over the world recorded separately) for her version of his song "Fly To Paradise".

[a-modernmajorgeneral]

The rain… Eyes of shadow-water, eyes of well-water, eyes of dream-water.

Blue suns, green whirlwinds, birdbeaks of light pecking open pomegranate stars.

But tell me, burnt earth, is there no water? Only blood, only dust, Only naked footsteps on the thorns?

The rain awakens…

We must sleep with open eyes, we must dream with our hands, we must dream the dreams of a river seeking its course, of the sun dreaming its worlds, we must dream aloud, we must sing till the song puts forth roots, trunk, branches, birds, stars, we must find the lost word, and remember what the blood, the tides, the earth, and the body say, and return to the point of departure…
