[EN] From composer Eric Whitacre comes a brand new work, the lush and achingly beautiful Sleep. Commissioned by the Big East Consortium, this haunting chorale begins softly and slowly blossoms to a powerful climax. Can also be performed with optional SATB chorus, with original text by celebrated American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri.|[DE] Vom Komponisten Eric Whitacre kommt als brandneues Werk das üppige und schmerzhaft schöne Sleep. Im Auftrag des Big East Consortiums beginnt dieser eindringliche Choral leise und langsam zu einem kraftvollen Höhepunkt. SATB Chor, mit Originaltext vom amerikanischen Dichter Charles Anthony Silvestri.|Text|The evening hangs beneath the moon|A silver thread on darkened dune|With closing eyes and resting head|I know that sleep is coming soon|Upon my pillow, safe in bed|A thousand pictures fill my head|I cannot sleep my minds a flight|And yet my limbs seem made of lead|If there are noises in the night|A frighting shadow, flickering light|Then I surrender unto sleep|Where clouds of dreams give second sight|What dreams may come both dark and deep|Of flying wings and soaring leap|As I surrender unto sleep|As I surrender unto sleep|Songwriter: Elvis Costello|Songtext von Sleep (Arr.
