    Hi everyone!

    I am looking for the sheet music of this setting to replace the "Echo Our Father", "Kumbaya Our Father" and "Caribbean Our Father" at my parish. I have decided to include the ICEL and Latin Pater Noster as the go to, but thought it wise to find a good metrical setting.

    Please note that I have already hurt many feelings and "destroyed" the "music program" (random list of bad hymns) and "local custom" (drum and tambourine) because I can no longer take the poor quality settings currently being sung.

    Please excuse my singing it is 6am (GMT+2), I am a flautist, I have sinus issues and people are STILL sleeping.

    Please help! You will probably gain many partial indulgences for every time we do not sing those two settings :)

    Good for you! Wishing you all the best as you improve the music at your parish.

    I'm not recognizing Priestboi's tune. Maybe it's a version not used much in this country.

    Here in the northeast US, I get the impression that the most common option for the Our Father is unfortunately to speak the text and not sing it. The most common melody is Robert Snow's 1964 non-metrical setting, printed in US editions of the Roman Missal.
