The Seal Lullaby - Eric Whitacre - IWCB

IWCB plays The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre

Eric Whitacre wrote this work in anticipation of an animated film production based on Rudyard Kipling’s 1893 short story, The White Seal. While the film never eventuated, Whitacre arranged the work for choir, and then re-arranged this gossamer-light version for wind band.
