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.
