Choral Choir,Choral (TB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1008437 By Dave Matthews And Tim Reynolds. By David Matthews. Arranged by Joshua Shank. Contemporary. 12 pages. B&F Music #6070469. Published by B&F Music (A0.1008437). Note from the arranger: One of the things that I’ve always loved about this song is how it sort of modernizes the language of the life of Jesus as its portrayed in the Bible. There’s nothing about supernatural angels of the Lord who frighten shepherds abiding in the field and, instead, it begins with the story of a husband and wife grappling with the birth of a child; the Last Supper sounds like a gathering of friends at a going-away party. The Jesus in this song is a very human one and, having sung a lot of sacred repertoire over the years, that’s a side of him I don’t feel like we talk about very much. The original song features a lot of speak singing over a gentle guitar riff, and I’ve attempted to preserve a bit of that feel with the piano.
