‘The Sleepy Shepherd Boy’ by Gordon Thornett has just been accepted by the prestigious Project Encore into their catalogue of recommended pieces. Written for a children’s choir in unison, with an optional 2nd part, it tells the story of a daydreaming shepherd boy on a Bethlehem hillside, who has a dream about the Christmas story. The accompaniment is for either piano or small orchestra, and the song can be ordered through JWPepper, SheetMusicPlus or SwirlyMusic.org.
The following link will take you to a piano score of the song, together with a live recording of the version with orchestral accompaniment.
