The Lord's Prayer

Eugene Ormandy, the renowned conductor, teams up with the legendary Philadelphia Orchestra and the incomparable Mormon Tabernacle Choir for a timeless collection of sacred and patriotic hymns in "The Lord's Prayer." This 2025 reimagining of the 1959 classic is a testament to the enduring power of these beloved pieces, each one a masterclass in orchestral and choral excellence.

The album opens with the iconic "The Lord's Prayer," followed by a journey through both familiar and lesser-known hymns. From the stirring "Battle Hymn of the Republic" to the soothing "Londonderry Air," each track is a showcase of Eugene Ormandy's unparalleled conducting and the choirs' and orchestra's harmonious blend. The album also features a selection from Handel's "Messiah," "For Unto Us a Child Is Born," adding a touch of Baroque brilliance to the collection.

With a duration of 48 minutes, "The Lord's Prayer" is a concise yet powerful exploration of faith, history, and patriotism. The album's final selection, "Battle Hymn of the Republic," is notably Abraham Lincoln's favorite inspirational hymn, adding a layer of historical significance to the collection. Released on April 29, 2025, under Finrow Records, this album is a celebration of Eugene Ormandy's legacy and a testament to the enduring power of these timeless hymns.
