Oracion de Sanacion was originally written following a trip to Guatemala. The flute used in the beginning represents the sounds native to the forests and is also inspired by the large number of artisanal flutes one can find in major cities, such as Antigua, Guatemala City, and Huehuetenango. The drum is used as a driving rhythmic force to help represent the Mayan culture found throughout Guatemala. Finally, the religious text represents the heavy influence of Roman Catholicism found throughout the country and its major cities. For the flute: In measures 3, 8, 13, and 17 it is recommended to bend the pitch downwards to help create a sense of a bird call within the forest. This effect is echoed by the singers in measures 23, 28, 60, 68, 92, and 99. Measures 20-28 are sung by all. Shakers and rainsticks can double with the drum (only on accents) until the end of the piece. Measures 103-110 is only voices. Measures 111 to the end is everyone: singers, drums, shakers, and rainsticks. I hope you enjoy learning and performing this piece as much as I enjoyed writing it! ~Matt Bailey.
