Whitacre - When David Heard [Score] (4K)
Eric Whitacre, Conductor
Performed by the Eric Whitacre Singers
Note from the composer:
Dr. Ronald Staheli, more than any other conductor I have ever worked with, understands my music. He is that rare musician who discovers more music in the music than the composer even realized was there. So when I received the Barlow Commission to write a work for his amazing choir, I knew it had to be something special. The previous year Ron had recorded my Water Night, and his recording is, in my opinion, the quintessential performance of that piece. He seemed to find such powerful beauty in the rests, empty moments that became electric in his hands, so as I set out to write When David Heard I decided that my first and most principal musical motive would be silence.
The text, one single, devastating sentence, is from the King James Bible; II Samuel, 18:33:
When David heard that Absalom was slain he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept, my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!
Setting this text was such a lonely experience, and even now just writing these words I am moved to tears. I wrote maybe 200 pages of sketches, trying to find the perfect balance between sound and silence, always simplifying, and by the time I finished a year later I was profoundly changed. Older, I think, and quieted a little. I still have a hard time listening to the recording.
When David Heard was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for the Arts for the Brigham Young Singers, and is dedicated with love and silence to Dr. Ronald Staheli.

My marching band show was this and “stairway to heaven” played on top of each other. It sounds like it would be bad but it actually sounds really good
Simply a masterpiece 😍😍😍
Masterpiece
🤤
Music should always sound this delightful. Everything, from the musical ideas; the realization and development of those ideas, to the colors of the orchestration and the sonic textures is so pleasing to the ears. Holst's brilliant mind and imagination not only arched in the sound of modern Cinema, it is the sound of films. This is fine music. Splendid! 😎
The opening of Uranus sounds like jaunty flatulence. As it should.
Thanks for posting this; it identified passages I couldn't quite place. Just sublime!! Maazel must have been hard put to choose what to include and what to leave out. The video of him conducting the Philharmonic in this work is fascinating. This is the essence of The Ring and I was surprised I didn't miss the voices and stage action.
It starts with a scream and ends with a whisper. Any film, documentary, TV show that leaves the earth, becomes the land of Holst-based scoring.
Thank you for making this magnificent version of the work available to all of us. At 1 hour 41 minutes it is significantly faster (in places) than the more familiar Lenard and Brabbins versions yet it never actually sounds rushed or hurried. Adrian Boult generally favoured fairly brisk tempi. Oddly, the opening minute is taken at a significantly slower tempo than the Lenard recording although the orchestral section clocks in at 34 minutes while the Lenard requires 39. The children's choirs are not so prominent on this recording which is a shame but this is a minor caveat. What impresses me is the quality of the recording, despite being taken from a live concert way back in 1966 (when I was 10 years old). Note: compare this to his equally splendid but radically different Symphony No.22...all 9 minutes of it!
They play as loudly as they can but are still hardly hearable at all when everyone plays together. I've sang this piece twice with about five years in between in which I kept listening to many different recordings of it. The rehearsals for the second concert were the first time I noticed them, and I only did because they were explicitly mentioned by the conductor. The piece ist just so freaking loud during these moments.
I believe the timestamp for Fortune plango vulnera is wrong; you have it in the description as 3:40, whereas the first iteration starts at 2:45. Great video though; I've been waiting for a full score video of O Fortuna for some time so I'm happy it finally has one
Fixed, Thank you
Genius
How beautiful is this? I can play this on loop and listen to it all day, it's just stunning.
I feel like I am wandering in Rome to expand historically infinity
incredible omfggggg
Bro the Bassoon on this recording is dying 💀💀

Bonjour j'aimerai savoir comment vous faites pour afficher le conducteur en temps reel , est ce avec du montage ? Merci de votre réponse cordialement
Yes, with editing software. I sync up the score pages with the audio.
4:09:19 did you really have to cough (idek if that was a cough) at this beautiful moment man??!!
I got to speak to Ticheli once, he’s a really awesome guy
Mahler my beloved
Thank you very much for the description !
I so wish works such as this were performed more often.
Espetacular!
Beautiful, thanks for the upload! I'll share it
1:17:40 for clarinet reference
Quick, free and bright!
Played this with NAU a while ago, pretty fun piece!
Fantastica trascrizione
The supernatural has manifested
That organ in Saturn is just sublime in how deep and rich it sounds. I have never heard a recording have the organ come through with any kind of clarity in the bass, but this one did.
Her music is so dense and evokes such complex feelings. I have a hard time figuring out how to deal with that storm. I mean... In a wonderful way!
Holy sweet Jesus.
Amazing
2:25:36 the birdsong is so damn beautiful. It's been 2 and a half hours of rather grimy, if fun opera: everyone so far, mime, alberich, siegfried, wotan, fafner are all variously mean, grasping, stupid, cowardly, duplicitous, arrogant, spiteful, and above all selfish. It's been a lot of fun! But still, grimy. So suddenly something pure, transcendent, innocent, untainted is very refreshing
Dude was just a bit early for star wars
yeah feel like Holst would have been a fantastic film scorer!
12:24 My favourite part of Pines of Rome
yes, this part is about the Janiculum hill's pines at dawn, absolutely heavenly
Pines of Via Appia will watch various historical great events Comfort of this performance is beyond description
Having listened to the original cd recording from ancient times for the past 30+ years, I still prefer it to this recording. I suppose it has to do with being so intimately familiar with its soundscape.

4:15 I LOVE THAT PART, it’s GLORIOUS
As good as Boult's recording.
Thank you for uploading!
I absolutely love this part 6:14

There were better singers for the role of Siegfried...
Not sure exactly what I was doing at 19 years old, but I can be pretty sure it wasn't composing one of the masterworks of the decade. Fighting chronic illness and chronic sexism at the same time. What a badass.
