Kings Singers - Pater Noster: Lords Prayer

GRAMMY� Award winners in 2009, The King's Singers are one of the world's most celebrated ensembles. Their programming concept in this disc is unique: built upon the individual clauses of The Lord's Prayer, beginning and ending in plainchant, it ranges over the centuries to explore the spiritually charged text. Chant is at the heart of the programme, and each composer's setting illuminates the others, shedding rich interpretative light on the poetic and devotional aspects of the prayer.One of the world's most celebrated ensembles, The King's Singers have a packed schedule of concerts, recordings, media and education work that spans the globe. Championing the work of both young and established composers, they are instantly recognizable for their spot-on intonation, impeccable vocal blend, flawless articulation of the text and incisive timing. They are also consummate entertainers: a class act with a delightfully British wit.FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVENPLAINSONG Pater nosterSCH�TZ Die Himmel erz�hlen die Ehre GottesZIELENSKI Communio, Benedicimus Deum coeliHALLOWED BE THY NAMEJosquin DES PR�S Pater nosterHARRIS Holy is the True LightPALESTRINA Sanctus (Missa Papae Marcelli) THY KINGDOM COMESCH�TZ Vater unserBYRD VigilateHASSLER Cantate DominoTHY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVENSTRAVINSKY Pater nosterPOULENC Quatre Petites Pri�res de Fran�ois d'AssiseLASSUS Domine Dominus nosterGIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREADDURUFL� Notre P�reWOOD Oculi omniumPALESTRINA Ego sum panis vivusAND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST USTAVENER The Lord's PrayerPURCELL Remember not, Lord, our offencesVICTORIA Popule meusAND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVILBERNSTEIN The Lord's PrayerFARRANT Lord, for Thy tender mercy's sakeLASSUS Ad te levaviPLAINSONG Pater noster
