Our Choral Programme
The Stolen Child by Eric Whitacre - with The Gesualdo Six
Learn and record Eric Whitacre’s haunting The Stolen Child in a special collaboration between Choir of the Earth and The Gesualdo Six. Setting W. B. Yeats’s famous poem, the music creates an atmospheric dialogue between a human child and the faeries who call him away to “the waters and the wild”.
Across three weeks of flexible online teaching, Musical Director Ben England will guide singers through Whitacre’s rich harmonies and expressive storytelling, supported by specially recorded voice part louder rehearsal tracks from The Gesualdo Six. You can then record your own part from home and become part of the final Choir of the Earth performance.
