Prayer

About Prayer (2023), set to the Lord’s Prayer, Dzenītis has said: “There are works that are created for a specific person, with a specific purpose, and then there are works that quietly smoulder just for oneself. Throughout the entire year, I have slowly, patiently returned to this one. With great responsibility, and only in those moments when I feel that I am able, and have permission, to add a note. Without haste. As the First Sunday of Advent arrived in 2023, I felt that it was good, and I could finally let it go. In gratitude for the life I have been given, to be as it is. Thank
you to my pastor, Ivars Cišs, for the inspiration. This choral composition has a version in Latvian and a version in Latin. It is intended for choirs of all levels.”
