Craig Hella Johnson: Deer Song: Frauenchor mit Begleitung

Four movements from the end of the Passion section of Considering Matthew Shepard we hear from a deer. It has been well established that Matt loved the outdoors and it is fitting that a deer should sing All night I lay there beside you, I cradled your pain in my care. The women sing this delicate text accompanied by three soprano soloists who bring the breeze and the hope of redemption.
