Vater unser im Himmelreich, by Johann Eccard

Quire Cleveland with guest conductor Scott Metcalfe
St. John's Cathedral, Cleveland, April 13, 2011
The Lord's Prayer in German in a setting by Johann Eccard (1553--1611), a master of polyphony and pupil of Orlandus Lassus. In the nineteenth century, Eccard was widely regarded as a German counterpart to Palestrina. In this 5v. setting, Eccard places the melody in the top voice, and in this performance, it is performed by all voices in unison first time through.
