Our Father (Rimsky-Korsakov)

We are doing well with singing the English texts of the Mass at 9.30am Mass. From the beginning of Lent, I would like to introduce the sung Our Father and I propose using the Rimsky-Korsakov setting which is a simple and beautiful chant which works well in English and is used regularly at major celebrations in our Archdiocese. The YouTube video above is of the Our Father broadcast live from St George’s RC Cathedral, Southwark on 24 December 2011. (Director of Music: Nick Gale, Organist: Norman Harper, The St George’s Cathedral Choir and the St George’s Cathedral Girls Choir.)

There are copies of the setting available at the back of the Church and here is a link where you can download a copy of this music if you wish.
