Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Composer/choirmaster Eric Whitacre has become a million-hit YouTube sensation thanks to his Virtual Choir, in which 185 online singers' individual parts were edited together to form a single performance of Lux Aurumque, the aptly glowing, shimmering piece that, performed by the Eric Whitacre Singers, opens this album.
It's followed by Five Hebrew Love Songs, ranging in mood from the jaunty, tambourine-driven "Kala Kalla" to the wistful "Larov", and other pieces, culminating in Nox Aurumque, the nocturnal counterpart to the title-track. It's an engaging and populist, if not overly challenging, programme that presents Whitacre as perhaps the American equivalent of Karl Jenkins.
