Choral music composer and conductor Eric Whitacre directs choirs around the globe, but as a kid in northern Nevada, he feels like the black sheep. He doesn't know how to channel his endless energy to create meaningful connections or find his place in the world. His remarkable experiences with outer space, multi-part harmonies, and a (literal) leap of faith teach him crucial lessons about embracing what lights him up to be his true self.Each episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

Sermons from First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington Massachusetts
Worship service given November 17, 2024 Prayer by Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan, Lead Minister Reading by Dr. Daniel Parsley of "I Choose Love" by Tammy T. Stone Featuring "Five Hebrew Love Songs" by Eric Whitacre, performed by the First Parish Choir and First Parish String Quartet https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Join us at First Parish in Arlington as we explore the theme of “choosing love”—even when it feels beyond our reach. Through the music of Eric Whitacre's "Five Hebrew Love Songs" and Mark Miller's "I Believe", performed with string quartet and First Parish Choir, we'll reflect on how love can be a conscious choice and how, in moments when love is hard to choose, we can still resist apathy, fear, and the all-too-human temptation to hate. Drawing from Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, we'll seek ways to embrace patience and understanding as we navigate and help build a more loving community. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. This Sunday half of the offering supports Resource Organizing Project. Resource Organizing Project builds stronger movements for justice and liberation in New England with racial, economic, environmental, and gender justice partners. They offer affordable and high quality services, practices, spaces, and pathways that support both interdependence and self-reliance for community self-determination. ROP is endorsed by Episcopal Dioceses and by the Reparations Interfaith Coalition. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text “fpuu” to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. About our Lead Minister: Rev. Marta Flanagan began her ministry as our twentieth called minister at First Parish in the fall of 2009. She is a genuine and forthright preacher. In conversation she is direct and engaging. She speaks of prayer with as much ease as she laughs at human foibles. We call her “Marta.” Marta is a religious liberal, a theist, a feminist, and a lover of the woods. As a student of American history at Smith College she was captivated by the stories of social reformers who were motivated and sustained by their faith. That led her to consider the ministry and to study at Harvard Divinity School from where she was graduated in 1986. She was the first woman minister in the city of Salem, Massachusetts, serving at the First Universalist Church there (1987-1997). She served in a co-ministry at South Church (Unitarian Universalist) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, (1997-2005) from where she is minister emerita. Marta served as interim minister in Montpelier, Vermont (2008-2009). She is trained as a spiritual director. For three years she lived in the Vermont woods practicing voluntary simplicity and the spiritual life. Marta enjoys the vitality of First Parish and our strong sense of community. She celebrates the yearning for depth and the desire to make a difference in the world that she finds here.

I am thrilled to announce that our new book, the Kindness Daily Reader: Season One, is now available on Amazon. (See Link Below) Secondly, we are embarking on a new chapter with Season Three of the One Kind Moment podcast. In Season One, we primarily focused on broad topics of kindness and compassion, while in Season Two, we explored areas such as self-compassion, self-help, and self-care. Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. EXPLORE OUR NEW BOOK!

The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Eric shares… “I could sit for hours and just look at sunlight reflecting off the top of the water. I'm not a religious person, but I'm convinced that if there's a God, that's the language that he speaks — light on the surface of the water. I'm mesmerized by it. And my wife even notices that every time I go swimming in the ocean, I come out a different person.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Julian Lloyd Webber's musical life is remarkably varied. As a solo cellist, he has performed with many of the world's finest orchestras and conductors, as well as every leading symphony and chamber orchestra in the UK. His discography includes his BRIT Award-winning Elgar Cello Concerto, conducted by Yehudi Menuhin, and ‘Variations', a collaboration between him and his brother Andrew, which has sold over a million copies. Julian has premiered more than fifty works over his career and inspired composers such as Malcolm Arnold, Joaquín Rodrigo, and Eric Whitacre to write new music for the cello. He was also the London Underground's first official busker, and he was also the only classical musician to perform at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.Julian is a leading advocate for accessible music education, and has been throughout his whole career. Founded by Julian in 2007, the In Harmony programme has introduced the power of music to more than sixty thousand school children from the least privileged parts of England. He was also Principal of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire for five years, a place at which he still holds the position of Emeritus Professor. In this episode, we dig into the topic of music education, along with various issues the industry is facing at the moment. Julian also talks about working with Yehudi Menuhin, and the injury that forced him to retire from his cello career.-------------------Julian's links:WebsiteFacebookTwitter-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Við fræddumst í dag um ný lög um samþætta þjónustu í þágu farsældar barna sem hafa tekið gildi hér á landi. Þessi lög eru ný nálgun í þjónustu við börn og barnafjölskyldur og eiga að tryggja að börn og fjölskyldur þeirra falli ekki milli kerfa. Páll Ólafsson, framkvæmdastjóri Farsældarsviðs Barna- og fjölskyldustofu, kom í þáttinn í dag og sagði okkur meira frá þessum nýju lögum. Svo heyrðum við um kórahátíð sem fer fram í Hörpu um helgina. Hingað til lands kemur til dæmis ein stærsta stjarna kórtónlistar í heiminum í dag, Eric Whitacre, sem hefur meðal annars byggt upp kórasamfélag á netinu sem hefur fengið gífurlega þáttöku og áhorf. Það er Landssamband blandaðra kóra og Félag íslenskra kórstjóra sem stendur að hátíðinni og Margrét Bóasdóttir mun sagði okkur meira frá henni í þættinum. Þorleifur Gaukur Davíðsson kom svo til okkar. Hann fór til Bandaríkjanna í hinn virta Berklee tónlistarháskólann í Boston á fullum styrk og var fyrsti munnhörpuleikarinn sem fékk slíkan styrk við skólann. Í dag býr hann í Nashville og starfar sem tónlistarmaður í þessari borg þar sem nánast allt snýst í kringum tónlistarbransann. Í kjölfar föðurmissis samdi hann tónlist til að vinna úr sorginni og tilfinningunum sem komu í kjölfarið. Um helgina verður frumsýnd stuttmyndin Sorgarstig, þar sem Þorleifur Gaukur spilar þessa tónlist ásamt píanóleikaranum Davíð Þór Jónssyni og bassaleikaranum Skúla Sverrissyni.

Surprising musicals: new musicals are packing in audiences - and some with quite unlikely subjects. Whilst the classic Broadway musical, like 42nd Street, Guys and Dolls, and Oklahoma!, remain as popular as ever, there's now a musical based on Bake Off, and the plot of Operation Mincemeat is itself a plot - to hoodwink the Nazis with a corpse in disguise. Critic David Benedict, Natasha Hodgson, co-writer of Operation Mincemeat, and Matthew Iliffe, Assistant Director of Assassins, discuss what's happening with the musical. Eric Whitacre is one of the world's most popular living composers. He specialises in choral music and is a virtual choir pioneer, uniting thousands of singers all over the globe. He talks to Samira Ahmed about Home, his new album with acclaimed vocal ensemble Voces8. Plus, the Women's Prize For Fiction. In the last of our interviews from authors on the shortlist, we speak to Laline Paull - whose novel Pod explores sealife in the Indian Ocean, with themes of war and migration under the shadow of climate change. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May

Eric Whitacre and Voces8 — Home (Decca) New Classical Tracks - Eric Whitacre by “If I could travel back in time and tell my 20-year-old self, this will be your life; you'll be a classical choral composer. I just never could have imagined it,” Eric Whitacre says. “‘Go Lovely Rose' is the first piece I wrote. I remember hearing it being sung live in the room. That's the day I knew I would be a composer,” he says, still realizing his dreams 30 years later. That first composition is featured on his new recording, Home, in collaboration with the British vocal ensemble Voces8. Why did you call the album Home? “On one level, it is referenced in a couple of the pieces on the album, specifically in Sacred Veil. It's the major theme and the final words of the entire piece. ‘Welcome home, my child. Welcome home.'” What do you admire most about Voces8? “It's their technical acumen. They're spectacular musicians. They sing with such purity and clarity. They sing so selflessly as a group. But there's this deeper thing going on, this kind of emotional intelligence that they have. I knew that from the albums, but I didn't really know until I was in the room with them.” Can you talk about the liner note, ‘This is how I always dreamed it would sound'? “About 32 years ago, I wrote something close to it, and a version in my head is always playing. It is ‘I always imagined it would be like this.' I remember the first time we sang through the album, and I thought, ‘Oh, my God, that's it.' It replaced the version in my head. So now I think about how it should sound. It's just that recording. “There's something about the transparency of just eight voices. It's the strength of their purity. It causes these clouds of overtones that, while making the album, send chills down your spine that are just endless.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

"It's not about only 'what do you hear,' it's about how you hear. What is the color of the sound you hear? What do you hear in the vocal mechanism? What are some of the things that they are doing that maybe are reflected in my conducting? Is my conducting reflective of the music? Is my conducting causing the issues?"Jo-Michael Scheibe, a Southern California native, has spent years cultivating his passion for choral music and higher education.

In this conversation, Eric Whitacre talks about his love for the music of John Williams and how it helped shaping his own musical imagination since childhood, explaining why it continues to be for him an object of sincere admiration and also reflecting on his own approach to musicmaking and what it means to be a classical composer today.

He doesn't know how to channel his endless energy to create meaningful connections or find his place in the world. His remarkable experiences with outer space, multi-part harmonies, and a (literal) leap of faith teach him crucial lessons about embracing what lights him up to be his true self.Learn more about Eric:Eric's website: ericwhitacre.com Eric's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericwhitacre/Find Eric's masterclass series, The Beautiful Mess, here: https://virtualschool.ericwhitacre.com/Listen to Water Night here: https://ericwhitacre.com/music-catalog/water-nightEach episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

This week we begin our suite of winter holiday programs with another deep journey into the sublime world of sacred choral music, from our longtime guest producer for classical and sacred music ELLEN HOLMES. There's a lightness and purity in these subtle harmonies that's often described as angelic. Whether they've come down to us from 800 years ago or just yesterday, by doing less, they achieve more. They engage us on a deeper, more internal level, when we simply open ourselves to the sound and listen with the heart. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the ethereal, angelic sound of choral voices, on a program called ANGELICO. Music is by MAURICE DURUFLE, CESAR FRANCK, MICHAEL PRAETORIUS, MORTEN LAURIDSEN, IVER KLEIVE, OLA GJEILO, ALEXANDRE GRETCHANINOFF, ERIC WHITACRE, and DANIEL LENTZ.

Join hosts Xand and Rochelle for Episode 2 ‘Singing the praises of communities with Dr Daisy Fancourt and Eric Whitacre. “Every single person feels part of something larger than themselves.” Communities are vital for a functioning society, but in an ever-changing world, has the concept of what ‘community' means evolved into something new? Can virtual choirs really help with regulating emotions and coping with stress in the same way that singing live in a room full of people could? And is social prescribing of arts through linked support services the answer? Grammy-award winning composer Eric Whitacre, and associate professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at UCL Dr Daisy Fancourt, seek to answer these questions and more, from studying the social factors on health such as loneliness and isolation, to how singing can help regulate emotions and cope with stress, and the physiological benefits that belonging to a community can bring.
