It’s good to hear the story behind the video. Even though you’re far away from the prairies of Iowa where the song was originally written, it sounds like the Philippine weather gave you a perfect setting for a song about the power of God’s creation. Tell Ralph and Arielle that they did a great job!

Peace,

Greg

We plead guilty to that! The brother and sister in the video are Ralph & Arielle Hipe, ages 11 and 8 who have just begun learning piano and guitar. We downloaded “Prairie Prelude” for them to sing, but at the time we travelled to the mountains of Baguio in October 2009, the tropical typhoons Ketsana and Parma hit the country so that on the day the Arielle sung, the joy of being able to praise the Almighty Creator with the lyrics of Prairie Prelude while the storm raged outside, was especially poignant. Especially when the sun came out soon afterward and caused the slopes to bloom anew.

Thank you for a quietly magnificent song, even if you originally intended it to be performed by those who would know prairies better,

Are there prairies in the Philippines?
