SKU: EC.RBM-020

Composed by Randol Alan Bass. 21st Century, Prayer. Octavo. Randol Bass Music #RBM-020. Published by Randol Bass Music (EC.RBM-020).

Text: St. Francis of Assisi.

This work was commissioned in 2008 by the Texas Christian University music department, to honor beloved teacher Ronald L. Shirey on the occasion of his 30th anniversary as Director of Choral Activities for that institution.

The work is songlike and tonally conceived, and mostly homophonic throughout. There is some divisi in the separate voice parts, but the ranges are conservative and the lines easily sung by student or church choirs as well as professional ensembles. The non-virtuosic violin solo serves to connect passages of choral music into a musical whole, and for which a solo flute may be substituted in performance.

This composition is ideally suited for either an academic or church-based program where reverence and lyric beauty are desired, and its performance is generally very warmly received by listeners.
