"Distant Land" was originally written in 1991 as a choral piece inspired by the release of Nelson Mandela from prison.  Rutter was encouraged to make a purely orchestral version, from which this band arrangement has been adapted.  Rutter says: "Listeners who know the original versions may miss the texts, but looking at it another way, your imagination can be set free with no words to constrain you and tell you what the music is 'about'".  "Distant Land" will surely become a tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela, who was a leader of the anti-apartheid movement who eventually became South Africa's first black president to be elected in a fully democratic election. Note - the Choral parts are sold seprately, published by Oxford Univesity Press
This version of "Distant Land" (A Prayer for Peace) is adapted from the original orchestra/chorus score by John Rutter. It is written for combined Wind Band and Chorus, but also may be performed by Wind Band alone. Anyone desiring to pay tribute to the life, leadership, and inspiration of Nelson Mandela will find this a most moving, stirring, and timely addition to a concert program. NOTE - Choral parts sold separately by Oxford University Press.
