Alwin Michael Schronen

Vater unser

Alwin Michael Schronen has become a fixture in the German choral music scene in the last few years due to his lively, expressive and at the same time down-to-earth compositional style (not only). And his father, our four-part mixed choir a cappella, also provides an impressive example of his art of intimately, intensively and at the same time believingly translating the substantial text content of the central prayer of Christians. This setting is due to its brevity and musical catchiness ideal for liturgical use. A charming special feature of this sacred a cappella work is the simple interjection 'Our Father', repeated six times and harmonized at the same time, through which the individual passages of the Lord's Prayer are broken. This can be sung by the congregation or a small group either unanimously or by several choral groups from different positions in the church. A truly fascinating and heartfelt sound experience to which community and choir can contribute together!
