Hi there! Im a newbie here.
Our choir is having trouble finding pieces for opening prayers or invocations. I havent explored all the composers yet.
Can you suggest a certain song that is in english or latin that is in satb arrangement, not too long and you think is quite good? Or a composer that I can look up to?
Thanks for your help! :)

Were you looking for a choral piece to serve as the prayer? (Try searching for settings of particular prayers… The Lord's Prayer, the Prayer of St. Francis, psalm settings…) Or did you want a choral response to a recited prayer? (Try searching for "Amen," "Alleluia," etc.) Do you prefer a cappella or with accompaniment?
