Healing Prayer

The act of prayer is attested in written sources as early as 5000 years ago. Today, most major religions involve prayer in one way or another; some ritualize the act, requiring a strict sequence of actions or placing a restriction on who is permitted to pray, while others teach that prayer may be practised spontaneously by anyone at any time. Composer, James W. Knox takes an ancient Hebrew prayer for healing and gives it a rhythmic drive adding 2 Jew's Harp and percussion. Baruch atah Adonai, rofeh ha-cholim. Amen! We praise You, Eternal God, healer of the sick. Amen! This is a powerful and moving piece to your concert!
