Adapted from the hymn tune arr. Norman Harper

An ingenious adaptation of Purcell’s familiar hymn-tune, itself based on the ‘Alleluia’ chorus which concludes Purcell’s anthem O God, thou art my God. The Lord’s Prayer (SATB) adapts the powerfully moving section ‘Ego cubui et dormivi’ from Purcell’s anthem Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei.
