The Seal Lullaby

Grammy-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre is one of the most popular musicians of his generation. His concert music has been performed throughout the world by millions of amateur and professional musicians alike, while his groundbreaking Virtual Choirs have united singers from over 110 different countries. The Seal Lullaby uses text by Rudyard Kipling and was originally written for an animated film that ultimately didn’t happen. Whitacre then didn’t do anything with it other than sing it to his baby son every night to get him to sleep – claiming a success rate of less than 50%!
