David Dzubinski's "Two Views of a Prayer"
I want to personally direct you to a remarkable piece of music titled "Two Views of a Prayer," composed and written by David Dzubinski as part of the Prism Quartet's new series of collaborations called Unlocking Your Inner Composer. If you have listened to my radio programs, you are probably familiar with the quartet's ground-breaking, genre-blurring music. If not, there's no better introduction than this.
Performed in November of 2025 at the Free Library of Philadelphia, they invited vocalist Ursula Rucker, percussionist Tyshawn Sorey, and violinist Carlos Santiago to collaborate on the arrangement and performance of Dzubinski's composition. It travels from raw to lyrical and back in the course of just under 4 minutes, with both finesse and energy. - Cliff Furnald, editor
