What is the diffrence between pop, rock music and classical? People listen to pop or rock music because it makes them stimulated, people dance and laugh very hard and yell, if they listen to classical they will sleep immediately. But we listen to classical music because it rings our heart and makes us smile, just smile or say:"Beautiful"

This is fabulous and very helpful to hearing all the parts more clearly than with Eric Whitacre's vocal ensemble (who of course are fabulous, but hearing 1 voice on all parts overdubbed is SO HELPFUL for hearing his part writing more cleanly). Well done and thank you.

Correction: "Alleluia" is an arrangement/adaptation of "October." In his early career, Eric composed quite a few influential pieces for band/wind orchestra, including "Equus," "Ghost Train," "Godzilla Eats Las Vegas," and "October" (2000). Just because Eric "composes for Choir mostly" doesn't mean all of his pieces originated as choir pieces; "October"/"Alleluia" certainly did not.

Not everyone can sing soprano falsetto compellingly; and far, far fewer whom I know can also sing alto, tenor AND baritone/bass. So, seriously, did your voice training do this? Did you train specially? This like all of Chanticleer in one voice!

According to the notes on the sheet music for "Alleluia", this is Eric Whitacre's choral transcription of "October". He transcribed it for Dr. David Skinner and the Sidney Sussex College choir at Cambridge University after spending the 2010 Michaelmas term there.
