I composed Our Father, Lord and Shepherd<\/em> in memory of Jennifer Monique Tinker, 1994-2009.\u00a0 Jennifer was a home-bound student due to a very rare genetic disease, the complications of which prevented her from attending an institutional school.\u00a0 My wife was Jennifer’s teacher in her last year of life.\u00a0 Jennifer was a lovely child, full of the light of God and the joy of her creation.\u00a0 She touched very many lives, including mine, because though I never met her in person, I felt I knew her from my wife\u2019s many descriptions of her and their time together.<\/p>\n

Rather than set only \u201cThe Lord\u2019s Prayer,\u201d I chose to include some parallel verses from Psalms 8 and 23.\u00a0\u00a0 These verses flesh out some of the meaning of the prayer, providing depth and context for Jesus\u2019 original words.\u00a0 We praise God in our times of doubt, trial, and loss, as well as in times of victory and triumph; the mood of the music reflects both.<\/p>\n

Our Father, Lord and Shepherd<\/em>\u00a0is about 7 minutes in length. \u00a0You can see about the first half of the piece here<\/a>.<\/big><\/em><\/strong> \u00a0 If you don’t see the music open in your browser (if it doesn’t automatically open pdfs), you may need to control-click the link and download it.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to be able to post a recording soon. \u00a0If you’re interested in the piece, let me know<\/a>.<\/p>\n
