The first movement of Eric Whitacre's 'The Sacred Veil' performed by VOCES8, Christopher Glynn (piano) and Emma Denton (cello). On 14th April, we presented 'The Sacred Veil' with Eric Whitacre for our online festival Live From London Easter 2022, and it's available to watch on demand until 30th April. Tickets are available from the festival website - We're so happy to be able to share this with a worldwide audience, after an incredible week of bringing this work to life. *** Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri Whenever there is birth or death, The sacred veil between the worlds grows thin and opens slightly up, Just long enough for Love to slip, Silent, either in or out of this, our fragile, fleeting world, Whence or whither a new home waits. And our beloved ones draw near, In rapt anticipation, or in weary gratitude, they stand Our loved ones stand so close, right here, Just on the other side Of Eternity.
