Considering Matthew Shepard (2nd
edition)—Craig Hella Johnson. The
Chicago Tribune writes: "Moving among
styles ranging from Lutheran hymnody
to blues to Broadway, this modern-day
Passion will move many listeners to tears
even as it reaches beyond tragedy to peace,
understanding and forgiveness." On the eve
of the 20th anniversary of this tragic event,
Craig Hella Johnson has written a modern
fusion oratorio incorporating a variety of
musical styles along with texts from Rumi,
Hildegard of Bingen, Leslea Newman, and
Michael Dennis Browne as well as excerpts
from Matt's journals, interviews with his
parents, and newspaper reports. For the
advanced choir looking to make an impact
on students and community, this is worth
every bit of effort it requires. One of the
most important major works of our time. The
second edition includes all new narration for
movement 31 Thank You. This narration is
available from the publisher for those who
have previously purchased the first edition
of the work.

Dreamweaver—Ola Gjeilo. The text for
Dreamweaver is based on parts of the
well-known Norwegian medieval folk poem,
Draumkvedet, an epic ballad that has a
lot in common with Dante's The Divine
Comedy. The protagonist, Olav Asteson,
falls asleep on Christmas Eve and sleeps
for thirteen days. He wakes up and rides
to church to describe his dreams to the
congregation about his brave, beautiful,
terrifying, and ultimately redeeming journey
through the afterlife. For this composition,
the poem has been adapted into a playful
interpretation in English penned by Charles
Anthony Silvestri. Seven movements, for
mixed chorus, soprano soloist, piano, and
string orchestra 8/6/4/4/2.
