In addition to the 2012 GRAMMY® for his album “Light & Gold,” Whitacre’s album “Cloudburst and Other Choral Works” received a Best Choral Performance GRAMMY® nomination in 2007. He also worked with Oscar®-winning film composer Hans Zimmer, co-writing the Mermaid Theme for “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” His one-movement choral composition “Lux Aurumque” received three million Internet views as of August 2012, and his subsequent virtual choir works “Sleep” and “Water Night” are on track to surpass that benchmark |
