charm me asleep

This blog is dedicated to choral music. My wish is to share some of the loveliest representations of the human spirit with the world. Submissions and my ask are both open. Please feel free to share. Thanks for visiting, and I hope this music fills you with as much peace and beauty as it does for me.

Five Hebrew Love Songs || Eric Whitacre

Temuna (A Picture)

a picture is engraved in my heart; moving between light and darkness: a sort of silence envelopes your body, and your hair falls upon your face just so.

Kala Kalla (Light Bride)

light bride she is all mine, and lightly she will kiss me!

Larov (Mostly)

”mostly,” said the roof to the sky, “the distance between you and I is endlessness; but a while ago two came up here, and only one centimeter was left between us.”

Eyze Sheleg! (What Snow!)

what snow! like little dreams falling from the sky.

Rakut (Tenderness)

he was full of tenderness; she was very hard. and as much as she tried to stay thus, simply, and with no good reason, he took her into himself, and set her down in the softest, softest place.
