Gently Rest (Deer Lullaby) from Considering Matthew Shepard 搖籃曲

選自主要作品《馬修-謝帕德的思考》（Considering Matthew Shepard），這是一首安慰馬修母親的歌曲。作為一首獨立的作品，它可以在各種場合演唱--普通音樂會、節日節目、追悼會。Conspirare 為馬修在國家大教堂的安葬儀式演唱了這首作品，馬修的骨灰就安放在那裡。輕快的7/8節拍營造出一種搖晃和摟抱的感覺。小提琴獨奏代表著光環，其最初的靈感來自巴赫《聖馬太受難曲》Erbarme dich中優美動人的小提琴獨奏

Gently Rest (Deer Lullaby)

原文簡介:
From the major work Considering Matthew Shepard, this is a song of comfort for Matthew's mother. As a stand alone piece it can be sung in a variety of contexts--general concert, holiday programs, memorial services. Conspirare performed this work for the interment service of Matthew at the National Cathedral where his ashes were laid to rest. The lilting 7/8 meter creates a feeling of rocking, of cradling. The violin solo represents a halo of light and took its original inspiration from the profoundly beautiful violin solo in Erbarme dich from Bach's St Matthew Passion.
