A Prayer for the Church

for SATB chorus and piano

text by Thomas Ken
music by ZMH, with Ubi caritas

GIA Choral Series, G-8408

listen (excerpt)

"This serene and prayerful entreaty contains powerful imagery of what a church is for all who enter. It opens with simple two-part singing that effortlessly develops into commanding four-part choral writing. At its end the piece appropriately quotes the plainsong chant Ubi caritas et amor ('Where there is charity and love, God is there.')"
       ~ Publisher's website

Commissioned by the Choir of Chapel in the Pines (NC) Presbyterian Church, Jeremy Nabors, director, for the dedication of the church's new building, January 22, 2012.
