Gently Rest (Deer Lullaby) from Considering Matthew Shepard 摇篮曲

选自主要作品《马修-谢帕德的思考》（Considering Matthew Shepard），这是一首安慰马修母亲的歌曲。作为一首独立的作品，它可以在各种场合演唱--普通音乐会、节日节目、追悼会。Conspirare 为马修在国家大教堂的安葬仪式演唱了这首作品，马修的骨灰就安放在那里。轻快的7/8节拍营造出一种摇晃和搂抱的感觉。小提琴独奏代表着光环，其最初的灵感来自巴赫《圣马太受难曲》Erbarme dich中优美动人的小提琴独奏

Gently Rest (Deer Lullaby)

原文简介:
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.
