This song is a quiet prayer that Leo sings right before he’s hung by the lynch mob. The melody is a reprise of “The Old Red Hills of Home,” highlighting again Leo Frank’s refusal to assimilate into Southern society, which was another factor in turning the people of Atlanta against him.
[LEO]
Sh'ma Yisroel, Adonai elohainu
Adonai echod
Baruch sheym k'vod malchuso l'olam va-ed...
[The table is kicked out from under LEO and he is hanged.]
Sh’ma was written by Jason Robert Brown.
Sh’ma was produced by Jeffrey Lesser.
Brent Carver released Sh’ma on Tue Apr 27 1999.
