Listening a day after my wife and I lost a baby we were expecting. We are heartbroken. Eric, this music is beautiful consolation. Thank you.
Ben, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope and pray that you two have been able to heal in the two years since you posted.
I wish I could explain my reaction adequately as an oncology nurse for over thirty years and as a choral musician. I tell my students that "It's a Journey" in my lectures. We stand by, hold hands and hearts, share knowledge, laughter and tears, fight the tough fight with all its rough edges and ugliness, and usher lives through the thin veil. As we support those lives left behind, we too, grieve as well. Thank you both for this precious and extraordinary gift!
Cancer took my wife too so this really speaks to me. Thank you, Eric
I first heard this song a few days ago and could barely see the screen for the tears. Since then I have have listened repeatedly to the workshop version and shared it with everyone I know. It is difficult to find the words to describe how much this song moves me.
Perhaps because now at this time of Covid-19, so many are taking taking this journey and leaving their loved ones behind to wonder what lies beyond these earthly shores.
Perhaps it is because my husband of 42 years is battling dementia, and as I watch him slowly succumb to a world without memory and time, I pray and hope and believe that his passing will be a peaceful one.
This world is so full of death, and terror and sorrow. Then Eric gives us this tender lullaby of comfort and promise.
Each time I listen to Child of Wonder, I feel my heart squeezed by the beauty of the music and the poetry.
Achingly beautiful, with voices that soar, then soften into soft waves of modulating voices as the sweet soul this song was composed for... sails through the veil of this present human passage into the great mystery that lies beyond it.
My dad and my mother-in-law past away on that day 7 years apart. Thank you Jesus Christ
My Grandmother, my everything, passed on today. Thank you for this.
Sing Gently has had me in tears several times, and this has followed suit, but for different reasons. It brought back my father's last few days five years ago ... "no more sorrow, no more pain" . Music is such powerful stuff, and good choral music can be the most powerful of all, matching the sentiments of the words to the music. Thanks.
'Welcome home, my child. Welcome home. Welcome home.' hits me harder than I've been hit in a very long time. Such perfect beauty in this piece.
I live in wonder that 2 men can create something of such emotional magnitude, spirituality, and intellect, that even as a man in my 70s, my idea and perception of death itself, can be changed.
Such wonder to be alive at the time of this music's creation.

@@amyh5504 what's your problem?
@@amyh5504 its ok. Be calm
I lost my Mum a few months back. Eric’s version of “Hurt” was perfect for the initial raw shock of grief. This music is perfect as the grief settles into my bones and life goes on.
I was driving down the road listening with tears streaming down my face. It's one of those things that you're almost afraid to touch because it is so raw and powerful. It is truly sacred.
a trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Karson Joshua yup, been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
love the wording with "child of mourning, child of night". This arrangement reminds me of the poem "Stopping by woods on a snowy evening" by Robert Frost
The incandescent beauty of this music touches my heart deeply. It sings to all of us who have been broken by the leaving of a loved one on life's final journey.
Heaven.
More wonders from the master...
Lovely serenity...
This pathetic phone speaker is no match for your music. I still count one of your songs as an all time favorite from my college choir days. 5 years worth of it.
It gives me hope yet for humanity that we have a composer of such quality who still lives and doesn't appear to be on his way out any time soon.
Can't you plug in headphones to your phone for improved sound..
I can hear so much of Eric's previous work in this beautiful piece. Elements of "Sleep" and "This Marriage" are very prominent in the structure and lyrics, but emotionally, it feels most closely related to "When David Heard." The ending is reminiscent of "The Seal Lullaby." That's just my ear though. I can tell that the whole work is going to be incredible. But even this one movement feels like a magnum opus. Unbelievable. Devastating. Tender. Incredible.
Eric, if the full piece is as beautiful and touching as this, then you've written a true masterpiece.
I'm losing a loved one soon, and I needed this more than I can say. Thank you, Eric.
💜
Ooooooooooo
Music is healing in ways we can’t explain.
Blessings and peace to both of you.
Thank you.
Forever
Chills and tears - what extraordinary sensitivity!
Can’t wait to hear the rest of the movements. This is a masterpiece.
this hits hard.
Just crying and remembering. Moving.
What a beautiful song!
Well, hello #uglycrying and yet beautiful crying in response to this indescribably breathtaking and poignant song or chant for the mystery of life. Looking forward to tonight's (1 Aug 2020) live rehearsal with Eric and this piece. What a gift!
Thoughts that lie too deep for tears.
I'm one of Eric's Virtual Choir, and have walked Tony's path. The nightmare is that the stages of grief accompany you from the Stage 3 diagnosis, and yet you're stronger for your loves, mother and child. Your hopes are dashed, and at the end, there is no more of us, part of you is ripped away too. You carry some of her vision, though, and that is the home of strength to carry the rest of the family onwards, for them you can do something. For yourself, just the thankfulness that we ever had anything. Exceptionally, my lass' suffering did bring great relief to others, a huge coincidence, or Divine Grace, as you like, meant hormonal therapies advanced a decade. For those lives saved, I'm thankful.
Thank you thank you, Eric. I am overcome. I also love Mark Royce’s work. I can’t hear it without weeping. Thank you.
My mom died July 2021, and this song touched the grief and sadness I feel over her death still. Every time I listen to it, I can’t help but weep.
This is so beautiful. Thank you for your music, Eric!
A beautiful composition again from you. Mr. Whitacre. Thank you :-)
The text and music render a beautiful, comforting presence to someone whose “today is forever “, and lovingly gives them (and yourself) permission to let go.
Sang this a few years back in choir, I had just lost my grandfather, it was very comforting, but very hard to get through without tearing up.
Oh my. Such longing, love, sadness & hope. Indescribable beauty.
This sound touches my core, a sound of peace. We are Child, Many and One.
The combination of the intimate poetry and hauntingly beautiful voices really hit me deep. I’m in tears. So excited to hear the rest of it!
i lost my grandmother earlier this year and i mourn for her. every .day... and this pain i feel is unimaginable, waiting in silence until death, until i meet her again. but, until then, i must go on making her proud of me when she is in heaven painting for the angels...
Woah. That hit me.
This lyses the wound of emotional pain and lets the human response of tears to be released from the hidden places.
Oh how I miss making music, in person, together with others.
This was absolutely comfourting to me, as I recently lost a close relative. Thank you, Eric.
This pierces the very soul!
So beautiful 🥰
Absolutely beautiful
This is such a beautiful musical. What a time to bem alive
All the way from Melbourne, Australia. Thank you so much for this truly beautiful and moving piece of music, Maestro Whitacre. I cannot wait to hear the entirety of The Sacred Veil.
Absolutely Beautiful! ❤️🎶
An absolute ethereal masterpiece.
This is up there with Mozart's requiem. Bless you!
Did anyone else have difficulty seeing the words?
Stunning❤️
Absolutely beautiful and so heart touching
Zo mooi! Vorig jaar in London. Aangrijpend!
Eric, this piece is out of this world! I would like to think Jesus is singing this over every Saint who dies at 3:35 on.
Votre musique élève l'âme.. juste un mot... Merci ❤
One of the best piece I have ever heard in my life... thank you! ❤
A pesar de la tristeza por el tema de la canción, está llena de dulzura, tanto como para consolar un poco por la pérdida de alguien muy querido. Preciosa canción
Maestro Whitacre is another modern composer whose music seems simple, minimalist even, and yet contains such amazing beauty that it is impossible not to return to it again and again. It moves me so much and I suspect that that is a reflection of a beautiful, deeply pensive and perhaps even troubled soul that is in search of something, something unknown, something unreachable even?
Unending thanks, blessings and peace to him for what he has brought to the world (my world) to make it more comfortable if only by knowing there are people of his ability and creativity sharing it
Hi. You write good comment. I think you are good, but missing someone. Sorry if I hurt you.
@@amitdalvi1122 I am ok thank you Amit. Sometimes like everyone I am a bit sad but maybe that helps me to be more sensitive to other people's sadness. You are obviously a sensitive person too.

Child of wonder
Child of sky
Time to end your voyage
Time to die.
Weary waters beckon
Dark and deep
Child of soft surrender
Child of sleep.
Child of sorrow
Child of rain
There is no tomorrow
No more pain.
Turn your silvered sails
Toward the light
Child of mourning
Child of night.
Child of iridescence
Child of dream
Stars and moons will guide you
Down the stream.
Stretched on ocean waves
Exchanging foam
Welcome home my child
Welcome home.
- Eric Whitacre
This stuff is deep.
For all the Palestinian children killed in Gaza and in all the the wars going on now. I love you ❤️. Than you Eric for such beautiful piece!
Love how the choir is so in tune they make the equal temperament of the piano sound bad.
That is the best compliment a choir can receive, and they completely deserve that
Rest in peace Sarah 💞🌈
This music is absolutely beautiful. Is there any way of making the lyrics more visible against the background. Its a lovely ghostly affect but very difficult to see.
Where’s the high G from the sopranos Mr. Eric?!
Life’s too short :(
