A Boy and a Girl [HL:4492511]

A note from the composer:

A Boy and a Girl is such a tender, delicate, exquisite poem. I simply tried to quiet myself and find the music hidden within the words. I'm often asked which of my compositions is my favorite. I don't really have one that I love more than the others, but I do feel that the four measures that musically paint the text “never kissing” may be the truest notes I've ever written. –Eric Whitacre
