I just heard this amazing piece last night on everyone’s favorite classical station, WETA 90.9, and had to look it up again this morning to give it another listen. The string and piano arrangement was the version played on the radio, with such a warm and gorgeous sound. The Seal Lullaby was originally written as a vocal piece, and the text was so lovely so I’m sharing the sheet music link as well. It brought a tear to my eye this morning! I highly recommend taking eight minutes out of your day to savor both of these arrangements. It’s always a treat to stumble upon a beautiful new piece of music, by a living composer, no less. Thanks to Mr. Whitacre for this beauty, and the Kanneh-Masons and The Eric Whitacre Singers for these performances.
