Pater Noster

R40.00

Pater Noster is sung in Latin. The Lord’s Prayer, also called the Our Father, is a central Christian prayer which, according to the New Testament, Jesus taught as the way to pray. In modern times, various composers have incorporated The Lord’s Prayer into a musical setting for utilization during liturgical services for a variety of religious traditions as well as interfaith ceremonies.

This setting of Pater Noster has become of Schonkens’ most famous works. The work is well suited to more experienced Youth and Adult Choirs. The work is written in a contemporary style and showcases the composers’ abilities to create an atmosphere through harmonic colour and melodic development.
