This was the first song I ever fell in love with. We're playing it now at my school, and this is the first I'd heard of the orchestral arrangement, and I must say it is absolutely beautiful. I think the beginning sections were taken too quickly here, but there are parts of this song that are really captured best on strings. In any case, with either arrangement, the emotion Eric Whitacre is trying to convey shines through brilliantly.

The dynamics in this song are just AMAZING; it feels like i'm in the band and playing the music myself :D even though i can't play worth crap XD

Wow

This is beautiful.
Getting at each others throats over whether wind or strings - or the choral version - is better, is like fighting over chocolate with or without nuts. It´s just a different flavour, but it still is chocolate!
Thanks to dkellleym forsharing and putting things back into proportion - though I´m terrible sorry for your loss. It sounds, that your mom was an incredible person.

I'm trying out for a baritone solo for my brass ensemble for this song! :D

For some reason, this reminds me of the Notebook. So it brought me to tears even more. Absolute transcendence.

This is positively beautiful, and it brought me to tears.

I love it! ♥

Great song, performers could have been more expressive with dynamics and tempo, aside from that, I love this song.

To the squabbling children below, I'm sitting in a hospital watching the woman who gave me my love & appreciation of music die; my mother, an extraordinary musician who, 50 years ago, put the choices in front of me & let me choose the soundtrack for my journey through life. The piece has the stamp of several composers, some you have probably never heard of & I'm happy to provide a list if you want. Music is learning and loving the creation. Be kind to your fellow travelers; you'll learn more.
