Work introduction
I was inspired to write Lament, Prayer and Renewal because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but the same mood could be felt in many situations where a person first feels a sense of loss, followed by a period of reflection or prayer, then hopefully a renewal and recovery.
This recording of Lament, Prayer and Renewal for Tenor Saxophone and Electric Guitar is by Jay Rodriguez, tenor saxophone, and Gene Pritsker, electric guitar from an album called "The Process Sessions #1" by Composers Concordance in New York and released on the Composers Concordance Bandcamp page at https://composersconcordance.bandcamp.com/track/lament-prayer-and-renewal
Please visit that page to hear the complete recording. A four-minute sample is in the Audio Preview above.
Lament, Prayer and Renewal for Tenor Saxophone and Electric Guitar won a National Finalist Honorable Mention in the 2023 American Prize in a special COVID-related composition category.
