By Josh Groban. By Carole Bayer Sager and David "Babyface" Foster. Arranged by Benson Kwan. Pop. Octavo. 9 pages. Kwan Ping Sum Benson #3877715. Published by Kwan Ping Sum Benson (A0.857397)."The Prayer" is a popular song written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa and Tony Renis. The song was originally recorded in two solo versions for Quest for Camelot: Music from the Motion Picture (1998), in English by Canadian singer Celine Dion and in Italian by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. A duet between Dion and Bocelli later appeared on their respective studio albums, These Are Special Times (1998) and Sogno (1999), and was released as an airplay single on 1 March 1999. The song won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1999 and a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2000. Celine Dion first performed "The Prayer" live with Josh Groban in 1999, when then 17-year old Groban filled in for Andrea Bocelli at rehearsal for the 41st Annual Grammy Awards.
This is a beautiful arrangement for a choir to sing to express the full meaning of the song. Though it is written as a song for soprano, alto, and baritone choir, the male voice is actually required to sing as high as Bb4 (more of a tenor voice). Time for a challenge!
