setting of the famous prayer in its traditional English
translation; recorded
by TONUS PEREGRINUS and released on Hyperion in June 2005 (CDA67507);
duration: c.4'
This austere setting of the Lord's Prayer makes
use both of tintinnabuli techniques and of increasing
durations of silence, as the music passes from one side of the
choir to the other.
Our
Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy Kingdom come;
Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven;
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass
against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever
and ever,
Amen.
