Choir Sacred SATB choir (SATB) SKU: PE.EP73580 Composed by Ken Burton. Edited by Paul Laurence Dunbar. Choral Works (inc. Oratorios). Edition Peters. Choral Octavo. Duration 00:03:20. Edition Peters #98-EP73580. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP73580). ISBN 9790577021539. 190 x 272 mm inches. English.British composer Ken Burton uses the writing of Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), the black American son of emancipated slaves, in his 3-minute work A Prayer. The text of the three verses is bitter-sweet, filled with hope and sadness, and the music combines with this to make a rhythmically simple reflective evening hymn. Burton draws on Spiritual, Gospel and Blues to write a piece for SATB with divisi that will be a popular piece both to sing and to hear.New commission from The Jason Max Ferdinand Singers and premiered in their inaugural concert as part of the online LIVE from London - Spring Festival 2021Follows Descend to Earth, VOCES8's own commission of Ken Burton in the LIVE from London - Christmas Festival 2020UK-based Ken Burton is known for his work on UK television programmes, particularly in BBC TV's Songs of PraiseBurton was choirmaster for the multi Oscar winning and Grammy winning Marvel film Black Panther Reviews (function(){ // window.CQuotient is provided on the page by the Analytics code: var cq = window.CQuotient; if (cq &amp;&amp; ('function' == typeof cq.getCQUserId) &amp;&amp; ('function' == typeof cq.getCQCookieId) &amp;&amp; ('function' == typeof cq.getCQHashedEmail) &amp;&amp; ('function' == typeof cq.getCQHashedLogin)) { var recommender = '[["product-to-product"]]'; // removing any leading/trailing square brackets and escaped quotes: recommender=recommender.replace(/\[|\]|"/g,''); var separator = '|||'; var slotConfigurationUUID = 'c05698e72571b3d109adce4ef3'; var contextAUID = '22010888'; var contextSecondaryAUID = ''; var contextAltAUID = ''; var contextType = ''; var anchorsArray = []; var contextAUIDs = contextAUID.split(separator); var contextSecondaryAUIDs = contextSecondaryAUID.split(separator); var contextAltAUIDs = contextAltAUID.split(separator); var contextTypes = contextType.split(separator); var slotName = 'product-recommendations-m'; var slotConfigId = 'product-carousel-recommendations'; var slotConfigTemplate = 'slots/recommendation/pdp.isml'; if (contextAUIDs.length == contextSecondaryAUIDs.length) { for (i = 0; i &lt; contextAUIDs.length; i++) { anchorsArray.push({id: contextAUIDs[i], sku: contextSecondaryAUIDs[i], type: contextTypes[i], alt_id: contextAltAUIDs[i]}); } } else { anchorsArray = [{id: contextAUID, sku: contextSecondaryAUID, type: contextType, alt_id: contextAltAUID}]; } var urlToCall = '/on/demandware.store/Sites-sheetmusicplus-Site/default/CQRecomm-Start'; var params = { userId: cq.getCQUserId(), cookieId: cq.getCQCookieId(), emailId: cq.getCQHashedEmail(), loginId: cq.getCQHashedLogin(), anchors: anchorsArray, slotId: slotName, slotConfigId: slotConfigId, slotConfigTemplate: slotConfigTemplate, ccver: '1.03' }; if (cq.getRecs) { cq.getRecs(cq.clientId, recommender, params, cb); } else { cq.widgets = cq.widgets || []; cq.widgets.push({ recommenderName: recommender, parameters: params, callback: cb }); } }; function cb(parsed) { var arr = parsed[recommender].recs; if (arr &amp;&amp; 0 &lt; arr.length) { var filteredProductIds = ''; for (i = 0; i &lt; arr.length; i++) { filteredProductIds = filteredProductIds + 'pid' + i + '=' + encodeURIComponent(arr[i].id) + '&amp;'; } filteredProductIds = filteredProductIds.substring(0, filteredProductIds.length - 1);//to remove the trailing '&amp;' var formData = 'auid=' + encodeURIComponent(contextAUID) + '&amp;scid=' + slotConfigurationUUID + '&amp;' + filteredProductIds; var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); request.open('POST', urlToCall, true); request.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); request.onreadystatechange = function() { if (this.readyState === 4) { // Got the product data from DW, showing the products now by changing the inner HTML of the DIV: var divId = 'cq_recomm_slot-' + slotConfigurationUUID; document.getElementById(divId).innerHTML = this.responseText; //find and evaluate scripts in response: var scripts = document.getElementById(divId).getElementsByTagName('script'); if (null != scripts) { for (var i=0;i&lt;scripts.length;i++) {//not combining script snippets on purpose var srcScript = document.createElement('script'); srcScript.text = scripts[i].innerHTML; srcScript.asynch = scripts[i].asynch; srcScript.defer = scripts[i].defer; srcScript.type = scripts[i].type; srcScript.charset = scripts[i].charset; document.head.appendChild( srcScript ); document.head.removeChild( srcScript ); } } } }; request.send(formData); request = null; } }; })(); Recommended Products Based on A Prayer $(document).ready(function () { $('.product-carousel').slick({ infinite: true, dots: false, arrows: true, slidesToShow: 5, slidesToScroll: 5, speed: 300, prevArrow: "", nextArrow: "", responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1024, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, slidesToScroll: 3, dots: false } }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 2, slidesToScroll: 2 } }, { breakpoint: 480, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1 } } ] }); }); Price reduced from $2.10 to $1.89 shaker songs 4-Part $3.99 Be Always Near Voice Price reduced from $3.50 to $3.15 Sweet Is the Memory 4-Part Price reduced from $5.99 to $5.39 Ready to Ride!
