This wonderful choral work has been heard by audiences across the nation. The piece was featured by the Luther College Choir conducted by Weston Noble during their 1996 tour and was performed at the national MENC conference in Kansas City. Also recently performed by the Georgia All-State Choir, 'Prayer of the Children' is perfectly suited for concerts or festivals! A poignant requiem for the children killed during the war in the former Yugoslavia. TTBB with Piano accompaniment.
