Description
The "Our Father" setting, which I set as part of my Preces and Responses, is now also published separately in various versions:
choral (with doxology and without doxology [1662 BCP version]),
brass quartet (various combinations of brass instruments),
string quartet,
flute quartet,
clarinet quartet,
saxophone quartet,
woodwind quartet,
- all in appropriate keys for the various combinations of instruments.
====
The music is lyrical and is reminiscent of the early 1662 settings complete with an English cadence at the end,
but with a curious addition of a quote from Tchaikovksy's "fate theme" at the "deliver us from evil" section.

The pdf files of the instrumental versions contain score and parts.
