For the Sake of Our Children

Incorporating a timely, powerful text that addresses contemporary strife in Africa, the Middle East and the Americas, full harmonies that fall within accessible vocal ranges, and a plaintive, yet warm, viola part, Jeffery Ames' newest work is a standout selection. This heartfelt prayer for peace and respect for human rights would add to any concert experience. Optional percussion adds drama. Duration: ca. 6:00.
