Prayer

Frank Morelli (bassoon); Ji Na Kim (piano)
Keywords: song for social justice

When I started this piece, Afghanis were fleeing their war-ravaged country and in finishing it, war has forced Ukrainians to flee their homes. With Prayer, I wanted to create a statement that acts as a resistance to conflict. One important goal for us musicians is to convey a sense that we humans equally belong to a much larger scheme without the need for war.
