This soothing and sweet lullaby is the start of Rudyard Kipling's beautiful The White Seal story. We chose this song for this week's premiere of Licha Stelaus Home Concert for all the mothers and children in their homes or far apart.
In the words of Whitacre, "The White Seal is a beautiful story, classic Kipling, dark and rich and not at all condescending to kids. Best of all, Kipling begins his tale with the mother seal singing softly to her young pup. (The opening poem is called The Seal Lullaby). I was struck so deeply by those first beautiful words, and a simple, sweet Disney-esque song just came gushing out of me. I wrote it down as quickly as I could, had my wife record it while I accompanied her at the piano, and then dropped it off at the film studio." (ericwhitacre.c...) ( / ericwhitacre )
