Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening—Eric
Whitacre. One of Eric Whitacre's most well-known
compositions, Sleep, is available now as it was
originally composed in 2000, using the Robert
Frost poem as its text. While the circumstances
of Frost's text led to the creation of Whitacre and
Silvestri's first beloved collaboration, this version
with the winter-themed text offers the chance
to perform and hear the music in a completely
different light.
