- Beautiful album
If you like listening or singing choral music you must own this CD. This is a beautiful album. One of the best pieces is A Boy and a Girl, a lyrical piece that is simply stunning. Eric Whitacre is growing in reputation as one of the best choral composers of this generation. This album cements that reputation.

- dreary and irritating
I'm with Michael Hamilton on this one. Loads of polyphony in search of a melody and most irritating, particularly track 6 (When David heard) where the interminable "My son" had me tearing my hair out(at least the bit that's left!) Save your money and try the excellent Polyphony in " Nocturnes" or "Lux aeterna" by Morten Lauridson.

His first works written in 1991 around age 21 that are included here: `I hide myself' (words by Emily Dickenson) and `Go, lovely rose' (words by Edward Waller), are squarely in the area of American and British 20th century choral traditions, but already his ability to conjure up ravishing harmonies is evident.

From the first notes on this disc: a setting ... Read More:

- Don't buy it
A 'nice' choral sound, but terribly monotonous. Its really difficult to tell one sugary piece from the other. I only listened to the CD once.
