Thanks for the warning....I braced for the sudden interruption of this wonderful peaceful music...Maybe your comment three years ago “made a difference” 😇 There were no ads...😌
Why is this music so fascinating? Is it because it is ... post minimalism...? ... neo romanticism...?... sounding like movie score Music...? ... like Bruckner in slow motion...? It is all of that, and much more. Many European critics will not regard this as "new music". But where can we go in an age where almost every possible sound and disharmony has been tried out by contemporary composers? To me Eric Whitacre is truly one of the real great 21st century composers. And his greatness lies in the fact that he is a seeker. A seeker after the mystery of life. And Whitacre transforms this seeking process into the mystery of Music... I was blown away from the 1st Moment!
+KrisKringle14 There is something quintessentially American in the sound of this work. Something like Adams, but also not. The beginning reminds me of some moments in Glass's Koyaanisqatsi, but also not. Definitely some film influence (Zimmer?), but also not. There aren't real themes here, or rhythms, as if the music has been reduced to its minimum elements. It seems to me to be a celebration of sound. Which I love. (I agree with you, as some reviews have also shown, that the European critics have no idea where to go with this. I think they find it hard to accept that music and composers have moved on from their aesthetically overburdened sound-vomit.)
+KrisKringle14 Completely agree with you, KrisKringle14! I've just caught up with the Proms performance and was completely captivated. A subtle balance of simple and complex, like a mixture of Ligeti and Glass filtered through the ears of Debussy and Sibelius. Definitely worth exploring more!
It almost sounds like the beginning of an Interstellar theme the entire way through. Somehow it captivates without actually doing anything -- there's something intriguing about it.
+Antoni Schonken Agreed, quintessentially American. And yet the lad from Reno, who registered for choir at UNLV in order to meet girls, is first and foremost a choral composer. True, his instrumental works such as Deep Field and Ghost Train are wonderful, but Eric Whitacre's forte is choral music, and he is one of the most performed composers of choral music of our time.
It amazes me how innovative this man is. From virtual choir to creating an app that allows the audience to be a part of a sound that is bigger than themselves. Eric's innovations just amaze me, and on top of it all, he creates the most interesting, haunting, captivating, and beautiful music. As a teen myself I find him to be such an inspiration. :)
@@romainbornes22 why can't you just let someone express how a piece of art makes them feel without trying to condescend? It seems especially out of place and inappropriate considering the incredible reverence and majesty of the music.
The violin pianissimo starts at 17:40. By 17:46 I found myself holding my breath. I also loved the "surround sound" effect of the choir being in the audience. The ending . . . his fluid conducting to a pianississimo and holding the silence . . . stunning.
Deep field. The terrifying deep bleeding crescendo's ! Such beautiful use of the orchestra. It took me somewhere new , amazing. I would love to experience this live
I'm glad that once again a composer is celebrating those massively majestic and overwhelming sound capabilities of the orchestra that make it such a unique and expressive instrument. What an awesome experience it must be to play and perform!
True. I dream of what it would be like for him to grace the largely ignored great pipe organ I love with his great gift. E.g. th-cam.com/video/PrH-zCJMb7s/w-d-xo.html
You know people like Eric Whitacre don't come around every day he's the kind of person that comes around probably every other lifetime. Now most of the stuff that I've heard I think it's fantastic and yeah you can say that I am very favorable of Mr Whitacre including the two virtual choirs that I was blessed to do.But now you people who are so critical and so negative about anything and anyone how about you go and do something like that this brother he is doing put it on TH-cam and let us listen to what it is you got and let's see what it is that we have to say about you because what God has given Mr Whitacre you can't take it away from him and he's probably one of the most gifted composers I've ever come across.
I just can say wow! How creative, captivating, what a storyline, how smooth the appearance of the choir, how recognizable his sound since the beginning of the piece..... That's why he's my favorite composer alive!!!
Just saw the Dallas winds perform the world premiere of the wind arrangement of this.....it was absolutely incredible. One of the most incredible musical experiences of my life.
+Craig VanVickle Had a lecture from him today at Shenandoah University. Someone asked him about video game scoring (as he's recently worked with Hans Zimmer on certain film scores). He said he couldn't speak about the game specifically today, but next month it'll be publicly released to which game he is composing for.
I'm thrilled by so much adulation for Eric's music. His critics just don't get him and think he has peaked. We first need to recognize that Eric got a late start and set his true musical course at an age about ten or so years older than most successful artists do. That means Eric will reach the peak of his creative genius at a period of much greater maturity than most of us. So, my guess is, he's just getting started. Second, I see in Eric a perfect illustration to explain how I understand the development of artists. I believe the developmental influences of most creative people, from musicians to entrepreneurs, can be grouped into two general categories roughly parallel with what can be very clearly seen, for instance, in the general difference between the old so-called northern and southern schools of Chinese painters. The northern school artists tended to be professional, often patronized, tradesmen conforming fundamentally, throughout their artistic lives, to the structured training of masters. For the most part, they tended to only personalize their art by exploring interesting but naturally occurring perspectives of reality. That’s a very rough and simplified definition but good enough for my purpose here. The southern school artists were typically scholars (thus often called “literati”) and were often aristocratic or otherwise free of constraint. They, of course, faithfully utilized basic artistic conventions but tended to be more introspective and self-expressive exploring unique ways to portray their relationship to reality instead of using only classical forms to exquisitely portray reality itself like the northern school. I see Eric Whitacre as being among those fortunate artists whose development is in the ongoing, balanced care of both influences. He has the passion and freedom of unfettered, creative expression of his inner life as well as his outward perspective. But his creative impulse is also shepherded and empowered by tools and influence continually gleaned from masters and other artists. That’s an ideal formula for potential. As moving, beautiful, and popular as Eric’s first 20 years of work has been, imagine what the next 20 will teach him and in what new directions his creativity will go!
He is such a genius. His sound reminds me of so many different things, from the great British composers to contemporary film music. Music doesn't have to be completely atonal and unapproachable to be innovative, which sadly seems to be the case in many scholars' minds.
It's cleverly put together, but not close to Mahler and the others. It's a lot of repeating patterns with crescendi and decresendi... there's so much more harmonically and melodically material in Mahler, holst etc
Absolutely stonking stuff. Thanks for posting the recording; thought I'd never see the performance again thanks to the Beeb only making it available for a short time. Wonderful.
Out of this world。I was grinning the entire time。When the people were taking photos I was thinking of supernovas exploding and quasars glowing。If not for that iPhone ５、It was quite down to earth。A true cosmic melody。
Can imagine Eric leading us out into the unknown to colonise the unfathomable far reaches of the universe! A truly inspired and beautiful piece of music. If there was ever a work which invokes the eternal majesty of the heavens then this must be it. Agree with Mike Fuller. Almost a classical masterpiece but for the choir mocking it at the end. Whitacre turned tail and ran back to the familiarity of human voices lol! It was a little disturbing when I begin to realise I didn't know any more where the starting point had been ..... space truly is eternal such is our God.
Ending it with a choir makes it all the more beautiful for me. For all the majesty and infinite expanse of the Universe, we are reminded that, in the end, it is each other that we must care about the most.
Truly captivating. I got lost in the music, and at the end I wondered "did it ever start?" Technically nonsensical as such a question is, it is the phrase that I believe best describes the feeling.
I wonder: does some of the critique of this piece in comments calling it "film music" derive from it being somewhat non-melody focused? Much of Whitacre's music does not focus on melody line, at least not in the short-term linear sense, and I feel like that doesn't disqualify it as outstanding music. Moreover, film scoring is every bit as serious as church music, chamber music, etc. So this is not much of an accusation.
It's beautiful somehow. Yet it feels like movie music in that it always sound s like something is about to happen and nothing happens for a really, really long time (around 15:00). On the other hand, if you're talking about the deep of space, then it would have to take a really tong time for something to *happen* musically to depict that. So patience is important in listening to this piece.
Eric Whitacre, please write a whole symphony with this as one of the pieces in it. This is so beautiful, I would purchase it immediately so I could listen to the whole thing. Please. I think Lux Auramaure(sp) should be in it also.. and Alleluia also.
A symphony ? Wow - this could be a outstanding work beside Goldenthal's Fire Paper Water and Sakamoto's Discord and - of coarse - a real milestone breathing the spirit of Mahler. Yessss, a symphony by this composer may propell the music history enormously. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎵👍
Rest after you have reached out to your trusted ones to come help you. they miss you anyway and they love, respect abd are loyal. This is just for you and I to get together in safety and see this through. It will have great reward...rest..but reach out like you know how to do. I am praying...you will RECOVER ALL 1 Samuel 30:18 in JESUS nane! Thank YOU! LORD!...
This is the first chapter of the Silmarillion - easily fits the beautiful narrative of universe creation through the music of the Ainur, to include Melkor arising in might with the discord and power fighting the main theme - Yet Eru stands with a stern face and the sheer power of his music humbles all of the Ainur... and they were silent in reverence...
I had the great good fortune to be at this concert. It was everything that from start to finish this composition was pure, heartfelt, honest and beautiful. London pro musicians can be cynical and keen to get out of the door...but I could reach out and touch the involvement and commitment here (I simply wish that I had not seen the review in the Telegraph that followed. It felt like porn by comparison and it sullied my brain - well done John Allison, what have you ever done for the world?)
Did anyone else notice how at around 3:20 it sounds like audio files played backwards? I really hope he did that on purpose because that's such a cool idea
And right in the last quarter of one of the most exquisite performances at the 2015 Proms at Royal Albert Hall and the choir singing, Eric Whitaker himself conducting, here Joe Biden comes a-begging. Anyway, I am very grateful to all. Thank you.
its one thing to listen to his work it's another to play his music I play a Bb tuba and we played October my sr yr of high school and there are moments while performing you feel all the emotions and passion that was put into it and it
If you see the video of the galaxies this is matched to you will see why he does it. Its amazing to see galaxies in their tens of thousands behind already tens of thousands of galaxies. God is awesome.
This is what I would call Finale/Garritan to 90 piece orchestra balderdash. Now don't get me wrong, knowing how to orchestrate the tension between half steps is not without value, it's just that here it feels essentially like sound design because Eric has chosen patently cinematic harmonic coordinates to alight upon and left it at that. Finding those resting places is the easy part of composing.

I can never look at the night sky and milky way again and NOT hear this music in my head.. Eric Whitacre, you are the voice of the universe.. _o_
Everytime I find something by Eric Whitacre to listen to I am amazed. Every time.
He is a performance genius.
Somewhere in the ether, Holst is giving EW a standing ovation.
Right!!

That part with the smartphones and the choir was astonishing!!!

Well said!!
Supposed to be performing this piece in early April 2020. Let's hope concert halls are open again.
GENIUS!
I'd honestly put this up there with Gustav Mahler, Richard Wagner, Ralph Vaughan-Wiliams, Gyorgy Ligeti, Harrison Birtwistle and Gustav Holst!
And putting the chorus in the aisles for a surrounding sound is seriously clever, as well. Perfect use of the venue to perform the piece.
Yea! Absolutely, Kev!
It also involves the audience in a way they will remember all their lives!
Happy Christmas!
Cheers - Mike.
It simply left me speechless.
Haven't heard of Birtwistle, any recommendations?
It's cleverly put together, but not close to Mahler and the others. It's a lot of repeating patterns with crescendi and decresendi... there's so much more harmonically and melodically material in Mahler, holst etc

Nothing is better than Whitacre!
This piece of music is probably the best representation of God I've ever encountered. And that's that.
Truly captivating.
I got lost in the music, and at the end I wondered "did it ever start?"
Technically nonsensical as such a question is, it is the phrase that I believe best describes the feeling.
I am more amazed at how any musician can follow his conducting style. He looks like he's just randomly waving his baton.
The app is "Deep Field." It is still available on iTunes, and perhaps also on the Android platform.
