From audiences:
“Perfect for the Fourth of July. I’m waiting for this Composer to get his work heard on Broadway”
“Really good complex harmonies in the accompaniment”
“I love the songs from the Great American Songbook– and this song has the best lyrics I’ve heard in a long time.”
A modern-day National Anthem of sorts, “Prayer for America” honors our Nation’s amazing history, takes a critical look at the Partisan Politics that dominate civil discourse today, and ends with a way for us to move in the right direction: a return to Democratic Debate.
The song premiered on July 4th 2025 at Ave Maria Parish’s “God Bless America” Ceremony, an event put together at the last minute by teamwork, and God’s grace. It was originally going to be a Church’s Annual Bike Parade, but it rained the morning of. Then the Church decided to have an Indoor Ceremony inside the Parish Hall, sent the word out over Facebook less than an hour beforehand — and over a hundred people showed up. They all enjoyed the Patriotic songs we sang that day, but they especially loved “Prayer for America”.
May it be performed for more Patriotic Holidays through the years.
Voice: Grace Micillo; Piano: Sarah Mandy
