| Description: A brand new orchestration of Eric Whitacre's popular composition for concert band, Sleep for String Orchestra is a lush and achingly beautiful work. This haunting chorale begins softly and slowly then blossoms to a powerful climax. Can also be performed with optional SATB chorus, with original text by celebrated American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. |
