Advanced Sacred Piano Solo: The Lord’s Prayer
My advanced sacred piano solo of “The Lord’s Prayer” is now available through Sheet Music Plus.
This particular arrangement took two weeks to create. I always like to allow breathing space when creating the more advanced pieces…always chiseling away…trying to smooth the rough edges.
As a church pianist, I always played the vocal accompaniment for someone to sing but never as a piano solo.
I’ve never come across this particular song as a piano solo. How about you? I’m sure there’s piano solo arrangements out there for “The Lord’s Prayer” but I haven’t seen one at the advanced level.
I tried to stay true to the flow of the melody score even though I stretched it out a bit with tuplet time. The tempo should be brisk to avoid dragging out the melody. I tried to maintain a clear melody path while meandering through many twists and turns. 😉
I thought The Lord’s Prayer was in the public domain. I searched out the title before creating the arrangement. Somewhere along the way I discovered that this certain melody of the Lord’s Prayer was still under copyright. Fortunately I was able to publish it through Sheet Music Plus. Yay!!!

It’s a beautiful song! If I didn’t already have it, I would purchase yours. There actually is a VERY old (1935?) piano arrangement of this, available as actual single sheet music and digital download, from Carl Deis. Sheet Music Plus calls it Late Intermediate.

Would you consider making an arrangement of “O Praise the Name (Anastasis)” (from Hillsong)? It’s a pretty new song but is such a beautiful Easter selection.
Thanks for your reply 🙂 I was talking to my Mom today on the phone and she reminded me of an old arrangement she played from as well as myself.
I had forgotten all about the arrangement! It’s probably the same Lord’s Prayer arrangement that you just mentioned.
