Somewhere around reading number 500, I began hearing little musical fragments as I read, and over time those fragments began to blossom into a simple, sweet lullaby. I knew it was a long shot, but I asked my manager, Claire Long, to contact HarperCollins and see if they would allow the text to be set to music. To my surprise and delight they agreed - the first time they had ever allowed \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/i\u003e to be used in such a way. I composed the piece relatively quickly, originally setting the text for harp, string orchestra, and my son's mother, soprano Hila Plitmann.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI later arranged \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/i\u003e for SATB choir and piano. More recently, my dear friend Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant arranged the piece for wind ensemble and soloist. The melody of \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/i\u003e will forever make me think of those quiet nights, reading my son to sleep.” –Eric Whitacre\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hal Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53488488218942,"sku":"04005423","price":214.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/04005423-wl.jpg?v=1778737024","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/en-ca\/products\/goodnight-moon-for-wind-ensemble-and-soloist","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
