David's Prayer includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes 'Nocturne in B Major, Op. 32 No. 1 - Andantino sostenuto'. The simplicity of this nocturne's opening is contrasted by a very dramatic and original ending. This arrangement is illustrative of Chopin's desire to make the music speak. This nocturne's rather characteristic design and melodic contour prepare us for the unexpected towards the end. Chopin dedicated this piece to Madame la Baronne de Billing. Performed by Anton Kingsbury.
