This Lord's Prayer is a sample foretaste of an entire beautiful setting of the Liturgy of St. John Chrystosom No.2, a work composed sometime after 1914 that remains totally unknown to this day. Using simple melodic means within a richly scored choral texture, this work achieves an effect of great expressive beauty and reverence. Nikolai Tcherepnin (1873–1945) was the patriarch of a venerable dynasty of composersnow in its fourth generationwho was highly regarded as a conductor and composer in the 1900s and 1910s for his work with Serge Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, prior to Stravinsky's involvement. Until now, his choral work has unjustifiably languished in obscurity.
