Distant Land (A Prayer for Freedom)

This version of John Rutter's Distant Land is adapted from the original orchestra/chorus score and is written for combined wind band and chorus, but it may also be performed by wind band alone. Anyone desiring to pay tribute to the life, leadership, and inspiration of Nelson Mandela will find this a moving, stirring, and timely addition to a concert program. John Rutter's compositions are in a class by themselves, and this adaptation is sure to find its way into the repertoire of outstanding bands around the world.
