Secular Concert
Closing Prayer (from "Sacred Place")—
Alex Berko. The final movement from
the extended work "Sacred Place," this
beautiful setting of a Wendell Berry text is
a poignant reminder of our connectedness
to the world around us. Pedal tones and a
free-flowing tempo create a meditative feel,
achieving the composer's hopes to "provide
a brief moment of respite in our current
climate of unease." In this standalone
version, a second stanza of text has been
added that is not present in the original.

melody travels between major and minor

Add the optional guitar, percussion, and
violin to bring it to life.
