Description:
"Meditation Enveloped in Sound": An Innovative Work Inspired by a Poem That Captivated a Grammy-Winning Composer The latest album by American composer Eric Whitacre—a Grammy Award-winning composer known for his innovative music—titled *Eternity in an Hour*, is being released by Decca. This is truly a "meditation enveloped in sound." It is the latest installment in his large-scale “electro-choral” works for voice, strings, piano, and electronics. The title is taken from “Eternity in an Hour,” a poem from the 18th-century English poet William Blake’s masterpiece *Auguries of Innocence*, specifically the famous opening lines: “To see a world in a grain of sand / And a heaven in a wild flower / holding infinity in the palm of his hand / and finding eternity in an hour")—specifically from the section titled “Eternity in an Hour.” This album explores the relationship between the poem’s opening stanza and “granular synthesis,” a synthesizer technique that treats sound as individual grains. Whitaker “deconstructs” the original poem, extracting fragments of words from individual lines for each movement, and sets only those fragments to music. *Eternity in an Hour*, which fuses the electronica and synthesizers he has long loved with his own choir, the “Eric Whitacre Singers,” strings, and piano, can be considered the culmination of Whitacre’s career as a musician. It premiered at the 2024 BBC Proms. Whitaker is also known as a charismatic speaker and has given lectures at United Nations agencies, among other venues. “I have been captivated by this poem for many years. What I sensed in the music behind Blake’s words was a kind of ‘longing for the here and now.’ It’s almost like a guide to how he truly lived in the moment… even in simplicity, there is perfection.” (Eric Whitacre) “The music was cinematic, meditative, soothing, and truly unforgettable”—Limelight website *180g heavyweight vinyl, gatefold sleeve Universal Music/IMS
