I had the opportunity to perform this piece with the Pacific Chorale a few years ago, and I have to say that it's one of my favourite new choral works. I also got a chance to perform his Sleep with the LA Chamber Singers last year - also incredibly beautiful. Whitacre is a great composer.
EDIT: I just noticed that PianoBeast's link also contains an excerpt from Sleep - the last 90 seconds of it or so - enough for a nice taste.
