A powerful and rich setting of the The Lord's Prayer, edited by David Wulstan. This five-part choral arrangement, with text from the Book Of Common Prayer, is a complex polyphonic work reflecting the intertwining characteristics of a motet more than the homophony expected from simple hymns. A simplified Piano reduction of Sheppard's original accompaniments is also included, making this piece perfect for those seeking a version of The Lord's Prayer that is a little more unusual or special.

Pristine in its conception, this anthem is the fragile invocation of a contrite heart. The expressive ballad is a singular prayer, not for the usual blessings but for a purer life of service. Set with tuneful arches and enriching harmonies, the keyboard writing is supportive but decorative and evocative to the function of the piece. Use of a soloist brings an essential element of authenticity to the presentation. Gorgeous! Score and Parts (vc, syn) available as digital download.

Bret Hesla was inspired to write an SATB choral setting of Pope Francisâs A Prayer for Our Earth, which speaks to the climate emergency and our call to respond as people of faith. Zach Busch further arranged the score and created the piano accompaniment. The text is set in six short movements which convey the character of each prayer petition. The movements can be sung as a whole, individually, or in pairings, and could be interspersed with spoken prayers, psalms, or other liturgical elements.
