A Prayer: Choral Octavo

Rate this book
British composer Ken Burton uses the writing of Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), the black American son of emancipated slaves, in his 3-minute work A Prayer . The text of the three verses is bitter-sweet, filled with hope and sadness, and the music combines with this to make a rhythmically simple reflective evening hymn. Burton draws on Spiritual, Gospel and Blues to write a piece for SATB with divisi that will be a popular piece both to sing and to hear.
