You can tell a lot of his success comes from how charismatic of a speaker he is, and how well he ties emotional language to his ideas. Really smart guy.

Probably the best preview to a library I ever watched. An artist breathing his art, loving the human voice for profound reasons, and building stories that can draw us in while showcasing some of the best choral voices around. I enjoyed hearing about his creative process especially. I could never afford the library, but I will never forget how this presentation made me feel about creating music... Thank you Eric!

Same experience. Got to college, joined a choir, and my world was opened to how special writing for voice is. Instruments can't do what the voice can!

Will pay extra for Eric Whitacre’s actual voice.

“Shimmering cloud... Fearful majesty... The human voice is the only instrument made by god... Invitation to a mystical world... my god, it’s just transcendent”

I wish I had a girl friend that look at me the same way Eric looks at music

[@phoenixanton]

My choir sang Whitacre quite frequently lately and i wanted to start writing choral music too and i took his pieces as my inspiration. Finding this video was such a lovely surprise

His passion and love towards music is so impactful

[@ravendevino6419]

Just hearing the single chord from "A Boy and a Girl" had me near tears. Bravo, Mr. Whitacre

[@MichaelBogaMusic]

Super amazing to have Eric himself presenting the product and sharing his feelings and stories! Glad I got that library!

[@ozboomer_au]

I simply love how Eric gets so excited about the lil' nuances of the *sounds*... how it hooks into his 'Deep Field' piece.. and the emotions he feels and communicates to the listener... Fascinating.. and inspiring. Joyous.
