About this arrangement

SSA with Solos & Instruments Choral (SSAA Choir) SKU: HL.286858 From Considering Matthew Shepard. Composed by Craig Hella Johnson. Craig Hella Johnson Series. Concert, Festival. Octavo. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.286858). UPC: 888680899158. 6.75x10.5x0.036 inches.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.
