String Orchestra, String Orchestra Grade: 2.5
A Boy and a Girl for String Orchestra
A note from the composer:
A Boy and a Girl is such a tender, delicate, exquisite poem. I simply tried to quiet myself and find the music hidden within the words. I’m often asked which of my compositions is my favorite. I don’t really have one that I love more than the others, but I do feel that the four measures that musically paint the text “never kissing” may be the truest notes I’ve ever written. –Eric Whitacre

String Orchestra, String Orchestra Grade: 2.5
The Seal Lullaby
This loving and dreamlike work, now available in an arrangement for strings and 4-hands piano, captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The text is a classic by Rudyard Kipling: “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.” Magical!
