Dr. Kornelis - why do you have the second sopranos singing a 'D' at measure 49 instead of the 'Eb' as written? (2:36 to 2:39) The third and fourth sounding simultaneously is one of Whitacre's 'signature sounds' and it is written all over this piece at various times except here you changed it. There must be a valid reason and I'd like to know it.

I agree with Megan; Sleep is definitely supposed to be more legato.

>> It sounds like there is one soprano 1 who's using WAY too much vibrato. It almost makes the note sound flat.

good blend but way to lowed!!! it need to be very very soft!!! and there a few part that sound like a kid singing. more of the girls. yes at 2:36 to 2:39 edcassells is right. so need some work but and ok job. but really need to work on doing what it say "PP" work on that.

I thought there were far too many overwashed jeans in places and the pianist was obviously fast asleep.
