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 mindβs a-flight;
And yet my limbs seem made of lead.
If there are noises in the night,
A frightening shadow, flickering light,
Then I surrender unto sleep,
Where clouds of dream 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.
(Charles Anthony Silvestri)

Eric Whitacre came to my school in February for a residency. He told us the story of the piece.
This piece was originally commissioned for a man's funeral. The man loved Robert Frost, so Whitacre wrote the music set to the words of Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though..."). Before he could publish it, he needed approval from the Robert Frost foundation, as this poem wasn't public domain. And they told him "Sorry, no. You can't use it".
Devastated, Whitacre didn't lose hope completely. He called up his friend Tony - his long-time librettist Charles Anthony Silvestri. "Listen Tony," said Eric at midnight, "I need you to write a poem exactly as long as this Frost one, in the same meter, and end it on the words "sleep". I know it's a lot to ask, but will you try for me?". By 8:00 the next morning, Silvestri had written a poem, inspired by his toddler son who would take forever to settle down and fall asleep.
Years later, the Robert Frost foundation called Eric Whitacre up, saying "Hey, if you want to use Frost's words, you can now". A bit late.

I'm nearing 70. I've been listening to classical ensembles all my life. I never knew about this group. Whatever one may think of YouTube . . . it led me here. This is an ecstatic revelation to my old ears. Bravo!

Andrea Halsey has one of the best and purest high soprano voices on the planet, especially on sustained notes. Who agrees?

I will never forget singing this in high school seeing my dad crying in the audience. It was a very proud moment.

Am I the only one to notice the wind in the trees behind the window behind them ? This is hauntingly beautiful. What a moment of grace.

This is what I wish we had at church. They are good, humble and praising God without a lot of ego and fall-de-rall.

As a soprano, having a range and control as those two sopranos do is an absolute dream of mine. All of their voices are pure light but when the soprano pierces through it takes my breath away. Love this piece
