This is Eric. If you don't know him... you should. His name is Eric Whitacre and I think that he is the most talented and blessed composer of coral music I've ever encountered. Some of you may know that our wedding featured his music... his beautiful music. Well, he is actually in town this weekend doing some Master classes at Tech and will be conducting several of his own pieces Saturday night. I found out today that he was also doing a concert tonight!! So, Clay and I went. It was amazing. The music that we heard was... moving... perfect... pure. To make a long story short, Clay was able to meet Eric today while he was rehearsing the singers for the concert tonight. I however, was not as fortunate. I won't be able to make it to the concert tomorrow on account of the state meet we're hosting. Needless to say, I'm sick. I did my best not to cry when I had found out that he had already returned to his hotel before I got a chance to say hello. Is it wrong to pray that somehow I would be able to meet him? Cause I think I'm going to. His music is wonderfully crafted and it will change your life. If you are interested in the concert AT ALL, PLEASE GO:
Saturday April 29th
8:00 pm at Hemmle recital hall
Texas Tech University
And if you happen to catch Eric please tell him that he has blessed my life with his music and that I look forward to meeting him... hopefully soon. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must "surrender off to sleep." (Sleep - Eric Whitacre composer). Please enjoy------- www.ericwhitacre.com
