The Dunkeld Prayer

The ruins of Dunkeld Cathedral in Scotland and their surroundings by the fast-flowing black River Tay is a place which invites any visitor so inclined to contemplate time and eternity through its unique beauty. A card for visitors to take with them contains the simple, heartfelt, and moving text of the “Dunkeld Prayer”, which unites both great and small existential questions. This colorful setting, with its references to the motet tradition, aims for the full opening up of all the senses and the heart mentioned in the prayer. The piece was inspired by the place and emphasizes the contemporary spirituality of the “Dunkeld Prayer”.
