SAKINI’S PRAYER
for Chamber Orchestra
Music by W. Brent Sawyer
composed 2005/orchestrated 2021
approx. length: 5:35 minutes
This piece began as a vocal song written as an assignment in the BMI workshop.
The song was a “funny song” to go into a musical version of the play. Teahouse of the August Moon. The song did not really work - funny ballads are very tricky. But I liked the tune so much, I turned it into this instrumental piece.
