Product Specs
The original score of Janacek's The Lord's Prayer, a work
written for tenor and mixed choir
with piano or harmonium accompaniment, was completed in 1901. Six years later
the
composer reworked it with harp and organ accompaniment. This version, contained
in our
catalogue, was first performed as a cantata on 18 November 1906 by the Hlahol
Choral
Association in Prague. The composer was prompted to write a musical setting to
the text
by a series of paintings by ontemporary Polish artist Josef Mecina-Krzesz, who
inspired
Janacek to create his own interpretation of the prayer with strong social
undercurrents.
The melody throughout betrays the influence of the Moravian folk song, with
marked
accents on the penultimate syllables - as in Lach dialects. The piece incorporates
rich
polymelodic treatment. In terms of expression, the dramatic sequence
anticipates the
opera Jenufa. The basis for the edition by Bohumir Stedron was the third
authorised
copy of The Lord's Prayer kept in the Prague Hlahol archive. In contrast with
this copy,
the dynamics, phrasing and rhythm were unified and supplied where necessary.
The
score contains a preface, critical commentary and sung text in Czech and
German.
The harp part is issued separately under ed. no. H 3712a.
