Lord's Prayer

Dallas, Texas area composer and church musician Tom Council has composed this setting as part of a larger work. The composer writes: "For a number of years at St. Stephen, once or twice a year, we would use a musical setting of the Ordinary called, Rejoice, during our Communion service. It was a folk/bluegrass setting with guitars, bass drums, and so on. It was written to be sung by the congregation. I would always use the choir to help lead. The church loved it.

Several years ago, I used the same idea and set that text to a little more modern but still upbeat musical setting. I called it, Welcome to the Table. It was scored for mostly unison choir, congregation, piano, bass, percussion (two players) and two optional flutes in two movements."
