His published works \\u2013 of which \\u201cSleep,\\u201d \\u201cCloudburst,\\u201d \\u201cLux Aurumque\\u201d and \\u201cWater Night\\u201d are among the most popular in the modern repertoire \\u2013 have sold over a million copies worldwide.

In 2010 he signed to Decca, and is published by Chester Music.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eLight and Gold is a mixture of works from the Whitacre catalogue alongside three World Premiere recordings of new pieces, all of them freshly recorded for the occasion. It's the perfect gateway through which new listeners can experience the allure of Whitacre's music for the first time, while giving existing fans pristine new recordings of some of his most successful pieces, tailored by the composer himself.  'This album is the first time that I've ever conducted on record my interpretations of my own pieces,' Whitacre explains. 'The new pieces haven't been recorded before. Previous recordings of the older works have always been nice, but they've never been exactly what I was hoping they would be. That's the most interesting part for me; it's finally a chance to say it the way I'd like to say it.' The pieces on the disc are performed by the British chamber choir, Laudibus, alongside Whitacre\\u2019s newly-created vocal group, the Eric Whitacre Singers. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eEric Whitacre will be holding an honourary fellowship at Cambridge University for the autumn term 2010.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. 01 Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. 02 i.
