As Pants the Deer. Composed by Jonathan Adams. GladSong. Sacred, Vigil of Easter. Octavo. Published by Augsburg Fortress (AU.9781451420777).ISBN 9781451420777.
Jonathan Adams uses the 17th-century Tate and Brady translation of the text and adds a piano accompaniment that evokes the "cooling streams". On top of that, he layers a gentle, soothing melody that beautifully suits the text. Canonic sections add contrapuntal interest without increasing the difficulty.
