Prayer – for Flute and Piano

Amanda Harberg’s Prayer is a rarity in the modern concert repertoire, beautiful romanticism built of a haunting aria for solo flute. Within the reach of younger players, the work was inspired as a prayer for the healing of a close family member. The acclaim for this work among musicians has led to the composer’s versions for orchestra, for a variety of other solo instruments with piano, and as the slow movement of Harberg’s Concerto for Viola and Orchestra.
