2. Beautiful.

3. The chords at about 1:50 elicit the feeling of the absolute mystery of our existence

4. Eric Whitacre is one of the best choral composers of our time. Voces8 is the perfect group to perform his compositions. Absolutely stunning.

5. I sang this piece with the Georgia Honors Program, with 28 specially chosen phenomenal singers. And you outdid us with just 8. I’m in awe of you.

6. ya this shit slaps on vishnu

7. Lyrics:
   The evening hangs beneath the moon,
   
   A silver thread on darkened dune.
   
   With closing eyes and resting head
   
   I know that sleep is coming soon.
   
   Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
   
   A thousand pictures fill my head.
   
   I cannot sleep, my mind's a-flight;
   
   And yet my limbs seem made of lead.
   
   If there are noises in the night,
   
   A frightening shadow, flickering light,
   
   Then I surrender unto sleep,
   
   Where clouds of dream give second sight,
   
   What dreams may come, both dark and deep,
   
   Of flying wings and soaring leap
   
   As I surrender unto sleep,
   
   As I surrender unto sleep.

8. Literally one of the most beautiful songs to showcase functional dissonance

10. You just transported me to a realm of remarkable relaxation with this performance. Such a delicate and powerful performance. Your voices are truly gifts of beauty!! Thank you.

11. I can never ever get tired of this wondeful song!

12. A sad scene in Lord of the Rings.

13. My high school choir had the privilege to sing this song. Over 100 of us. Once we had all learned our parts, our choral director had us rehearse this in the auditorium- in the pitch darkness. He turned all the lights off and just let us sing. It was one of the most haunting and beautiful songs I’ve ever gotten to perform and to do it in the darkness with no other distractions, just the music. Beautiful. It still gives me chills to think about over a decade later.

14. Thank-you. THANK-you.

15. Exquisite

16. Its like chocolate for your ears

17. Help! I have looked everywhere but cannot find the album with this song on it. Which CD?

19. The Dynamic 8! working together to bring the best of the best. Thank you so much.

20. I performed this my senior year with my chamber choir I miss it so badly I graduated 2022 and almost two years have flown by I wish I could be with my classmates one more time, the pure joy we had for music was unbelievable. No one has that feeling anymore and it’s miserable

21. Who let Natalie Dormer into this choir lol

22. This music resonates on so many levels triggering so many thoughts and emotions that are unique to the listener.
    I personally was thinking of Ancient Rome for some reason.
    Very captivating !

25. La canción como tal es hermosa, pero en las voces de ellos es única. :')
    Es mi versión favorita.

26. The locations they sing in play such a huge part in how their songs sound too, the acoustics are incredible. Makes it sound like more than 8 people, and then they sing with perfection. 🤯
