High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Prayers of Kierkegaard is a one-movement extended cantata written by Samuel Barber between 1942 and 1954. The piece has four main subdivisions and is based on prayers by S ren Kierkegaard. It is written for chorus, large orchestra, soprano solo and incidental tenor and alto solos. Samuel Barber began writing the Prayers of Kierkegaard with the commission of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation in 1942, but because of World War II and other interruptions, only completed the work 12 years later. It was premiered on December 3, 1954 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Cecilia Society Chorus, and soprano Leontyne Price, for whom the piece was actually written, with Charles Munch conducting. The piece was given its New York premiere four days later, and both concerts were received with critical acclaim.
