Prayer of The Children is an amazing song. Our High School Quartet sang it many times. The audience was always teary and awed by its end. It is truly a powerful song, with an even more powerful message.

Your song, "Prayer of the Children" will never die. It is a song that will always have deep importance.

Our girls' octet sang "Prayer of the Children" this year, and I'm pretty sure we're keeping it in our repertoire. I have to say that is my favorite song out of all the songs I have sung. It's SO beautiful! And sad, as well. It's such a touching song - I can't believe you wrote it. Thank you. - K

Can you please tell me if you or your managment are planning to add some more Rigoletto music sheets at your webside? I really like to get the rest of the songs apart from "the melody within". I heard that "feature songs for family songbook" included some songs of Rigoletto. However it seems to be out of stock. So it'll be really great if you could consider to add the other songs as I am pretty sure that I am not the only one looking for it. Thanks for the great time I had listening to your songs.

You are such an amazing composer. I LOVE your stuff. I'm in the Cache Children's Choir in Logan and we just sang "Prayer of the Children" in a festival in New York City. As we were rehearsing right before we performed for the judges, we sang this song and I had to stop singing in the middle of the song because I became too emotional. There was such a spirit there and I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents.
