July 7, 200619 yr Eric Whitacre (awesome choral composer, trained by John Corigliano) has written an opera adaptation of Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost: Opera Electronica It's kind of amazing looking, and the lead soprano is incredible.
July 20, 200817 yr Whitacre has become one of the world's top Choral writers. The man has got talent.
December 21, 200817 yr BTW- Paradise lost has been released in full as a demo on his facebook fan page.
December 21, 200817 yr The music is really cool. Every once in a while the lyrics bother me by how simplistic they are, but the music supporting it is always inventive and original. It definitely deserves a listen. It's so odd that Eric Whitacre actually started out in a techno punk band in high school... it wasn't until college that he decided to become a "Classical" composer. It's nice to see that he managed to find a way to embrace his roots while creating something totally new and exciting. Eric Whitacre = Love
