Editorial Reviews

Throughout the United States' history, music has played an integral part in the prayer life of Americans. The Many Voices of One Nation Under God compiles some of the most important music written and recorded to illustrate the history of prayer in America. The music included in this CD spans the US history from Native Americans to modern day music and shows the richness and variety of our great composers and performers. The CD illustrates through music the development of prayer in America, and is the perfect companion to James P. Moore's book The History of Prayer in America, One Nation Under God.
