I know that we are a group of sophisticated devils on here, so I thought we could discuss various pieces of Choral Music. We (and by we I mean the WKU Choral) had a concert a couple of weeks ago and did this piece- Sleep, and it was truly amazing. One of the most powerful pieces ever. Whitacre is really something else, with a very new, fresh style!
