General Information

Title: The Lord's Prayer
Composer: Robert Stone

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicings: SATB, ATTB, ATBB or TTBB
Genre: Sacred, Preces and Responses

Language: English
Instruments: A cappella

First published: 1565 in John Day's Certaine Notes
Description: The earliest setting in English. Besides Day's print, there is a c1548 manuscript, Bodleian MSS Mus sch e 420-422. The underlay of the last phrase would seem to be confusing: Anthony Greening's edition (Oxford University Press 1973) places the first syllable of "Amen" on the fourth through second last notes of the top voice.
