Our Father (Gordon Camsey)

This beautifully crafted yet simple arrangement of The Lord's Prayer has found its way from its original choral version to the medium of wind band, where the melodic lines will offer real scope to express and exploit the widely varied tone colours that are available. Although brief in duration, it would provide an effectively restful moment of contrast in a concert programme, and could also be used effectively as prelude music at a church or ceremonial occasion.
