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.
