Sleep My Child

Sleep My Child is a captivating piece drawn from Eric Whitacre's acclaimed musical theater work, "Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings." Originally composed for a trio of vocalists—two sopranos and a mezzo-soprano—this enchanting composition has been adapted for SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) choirs, allowing a wider range of ensembles to bring its haunting beauty to life. Whitacre's mastery of choral writing shines through in "Sleep My Child," creating a serene and evocative atmosphere that resonates deeply with audiences. The piece is a testament to Whitacre's ability to craft emotionally rich and technically demanding music, making it a standout addition to any choral repertoire.
