Verena Mösenbichler-BryantPublisher:Category: Band/Orchestra/EnsembleSeries: Eric Whitacre Concert BandFormat: SoftcoverVoicing: Score & PartsOver the past few years I must have read Goodnight Moon to my son a thousand times - maybe more. Somewhere around reading number 500, I began hearing little musical fragments as I read, and over time those fragments began to blossom into a simple, sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot, but I asked my manager, Claire Long, to contact HarperCollins and see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed - the first time they had ever allowed Goodnight Moon to be used in such a way. I composed the piece relatively quickly, originally setting the text for harp, string orchestra, and my son's mother, soprano Hila Plitmann. I later arranged Goodnight Moon for SATB choir and piano. More recently, my dear friend Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant arranged the piece for wind ensemble and soloist. The melody of Goodnight Moon will forever make me think of those quiet nights, reading my son to sleep. -Eric WhitacreInventory # : 04005423UPC: 888680940874ISBN:Publisher Code:Width: 9"Length: 12"Height: 0.707"Product Weight: 2 lbs.Number of Pages: This is sheet musc or a songbook, NOT A MUSIC CD.
