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.

This is an amazing song. I love it so much. My high school choir is doing it and we learned it in 3 to 4 hours

This song is not for the faint of heart. Stunning and powerful, it requires strong musicianship.

My high school honours choir sang this piece at the final concert of my senior year. We did an eight part SATB version. This song is absolutely beautiful and incredibly moving when sung well. I strongly recommend researching the history of the song, and of the war torn country it was written about before tackling this piece. I don't feel it can be justly sung without fully comprehending the pain these children went through. It isn't a particularly difficult piece to learn, but it is very difficult to correctly capture what this song was meant to convey. There shouldn't be a dry eye left in the audience at the end of this song.
