4L Our Father—Craig Courtney. Humility and quiet
fervor mark this setting of Christ's eternal words.
It is completely different than the standard settings
that we have heard so often, in that each section

harmonic and textural language. The climactic
arrival on the words "forever and ever" soar, and
the final "amen" brings us full circle to the simplicity
of the beginning of the anthem. String quartet and
full orchestra parts and scores are available, as well
as SSAA and TTBB adaptations.
