When David Heard

A song from Eric Whitacre

I am definitely hipnothyzed by this song. A very-mery-extraordinary-emotional masterpiece. I heard the Brigham Young University Singer sang it. It's perfect.

A long the song I can feel the emotions. The emotions of the song. The emotions of the singers also. Gosh, it's so great to hear it. Bravo to Eric and Brigham Young.

This song is about King David crying for his son Absalom that died slained. Eventhough Absalom actually did the bad things to him, King David still love Absalom. We can hear from the song that King David cries in a really doom for Absalom.

The compositions of Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass are perfect. The dynamic is incridible. The piano, forte even the pianissimo and fortessimo, are deeply touching. I can cry everytime I hear the smooth progress of Bass, Alto, and Soprano from the very small one the the very grande voices. Slowly, slowly, slowly, cries: "my son... my son... my son... my son... my son... absalom...". Bravo to all the singers with a very tremendous vocal technique. The choir succeeded to perform this song. The singer even could produce overtone (tone which produces because several voices resonant perfectly one each other) voices a long the song. No other words can be said. Standing appaluse for them.

I dare to say. This song is written not for entertaining. It absolutely not.

This song is masterpiece.
