Choir of the Earth presents: The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre (🥈 at Britain's Top Choirs™ 2023)

Please enjoy Choir of the Earth's stunning performance of The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre, which earned us second place at the Britain's Top Choirs™ competition on 12 March 2023 🎉

This performance was the result of hundreds of singers all around the world learning together online and recording their voices separately at home. Then we combined them in the recording studio to create the final choir.

Nobody met in person during its production, yet the bonds and connection between our singers and with our Musical Director and Conductor, Ben England BEM, is clear for all to hear.

We were the only online choir to be shortlisted for Britain's Top Choirs™ and we are truly honoured to have come second.

We all know that Choir of the Earth is special, and that we just keep getting better all the time, and I knew when I first heard/saw our version of The Seal Lullaby that it was special, but to place so highly in such a prestigious competition against so many talented choirs... it's a true honour. Congratulations, everyone.

Seal Lullaby
Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1936

Oh! hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow;
Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas.

It's an honor to be a part of this.
