VOCES8: Sleep by Eric Whitacre

VOCES8 performs 'Sleep' by Eric Whitacre in St Stephen Walbrook Church in London. The evening hangs beneath the moon, A silver thread on darkened dune. With closing eyes and resting head I know that sleep is coming soon. Upon my pillow, safe in bed, A thousand pictures fill my head. I cannot sleep, my mind’s a-flight; And yet my limbs seem made of lead. If there are noises in the night, A frightening shadow, flickering light, Then I surrender unto sleep, Where clouds of dream give second sight, What dreams may come, both dark and deep, Of flying wings and soaring leap As I surrender unto sleep, As I surrender unto sleep. (Charles Anthony Silvestri) ​​​​​​​​ ---- VOCES8 is the no. 1 streamed classical vocal ensemble in the world.
