About
The Sacred Veil, a monumental 12 movement choral masterpiece, was born out of a collaboration between Grammy-winning composer Eric Whitacre and poet/lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri. It tells a story of life, love and loss. Silvestri’s wife died of ovarian cancer at age 36 in 2005, leaving two young children. Texts from Silvestri, his wife, and Whitacre, as well as the compelling music, tell a story of courtship, love, loss and the search for solace. Although inspired by a moving and personal friendship, the work shares a very human journey that many people can relate to.
