Eric Whitacre: A Boy And A Girl (Full Score)
Written based on a poem of the same title by Octavio Paz, A Boy and a Girl is Whitacre at his finest, with the composer himself describing four measures as "the truest notes I've ever written".Stretched out on the grassa boy and a girl.Savoring their oranges,giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.Stretched out on the beach,a boy and a girl.Savoring their limes,giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.Stretched out underground,a boy and a girl.Saying nothing, never kissing,giving silence for silence. Octavio Paz, 1914-1998
