"Prayer for a Bold January" sets an original poem to music. The piece is scored for SATB choir with piano accompaniment, but could be performed using a variety of methods, depending on the resources available. If not performed in January, the subtitle of "Winter Prayer" could be used.
The composer makes the following suggestions:
1. Solo voices with unison choir:
a. Measures 1-39 are sung by 2 solo voices with piano accompaniment.
b. Measures 40-48 are sung by a unison choir, using SATB harmony as the piano accompaniment.
c. Measures 49-54 are sung by the choir, divided into 2 parts, using the piano accompaniment from measures 33-39.
d. Measures 55 to the end are sung by the unison choir, accompanied by the piano playing the SATB parts.
2. 2-part choir, upper and lower voices, or 2-part upper or 2-part lower:
a. The upper part is scored using treble clef and the lower part using bass clef. (The tenor part uses traditional scoring of treble clef, voiced an octave lower, thus the 8va marking )
b. Regardless of how voices are split, the piano accompanies using the same method as in suggestion #1.
3. A cappella choir:
a. The entire piece is sung without accompaniment, voices singing their parts as scored.
"Prayer for a Bold January"
Lord,
in the midst of snow white, bone deep cold
lead me to your word
when I would rather hide
inside, under the covers, in the comforts of my own convictions
show me the world
as it is
through words from
all those
with a story to tell
let me hear
the voices the powerful
seek to stamp out
those that cause discomfort
that burden us
with the reality of
our sinful state
lead me to listen
teach me to serve
In your name, I pray
Amen.
