Abun (Pater noster)

This setting of the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, is a powerful and devotional anthem for SATB choir. Massimo Marinai crafts a piece that reflects the solemnity and universality of the text. The composer's focus is on the spiritual essence of the prayer, seeking to convey a sense of profound reverence and humble supplication through the soaring lines of the choir. This sacred work offers a unique opportunity for choirs to explore an ancient liturgical language and engage with a prayer that has resonated across centuries and cultures, creating a deeply moving experience for both performers and listeners alike.
