I heard this in Westminster Abbey about 20 years ago and was blown away by the harmonic language. I didn't know Leighton at the time, but I've listened to a lot of his music since then.

These are beautiful! I'm going to let my Choir Director know of them, if he doesn't already. Thanks so much for uploading them!

You've now posted BOTH my favourite Ps&Rs - can't thank you enough. I find it very difficult to chose between the Leighton and Shephard in terms of which Lord's Prayer I like most.

Sorry, but although it says it was live from St John’s, Cambridge, is it actually a recording from Wells Cathedral from before September 8, 2022? Otherwise, the priest should have sung: “O Lord, save the King.”

Discords for the sake of discords. I have never heard anything (to my knowledge) by Leighton that I have really liked. If you don't want to sing the glorious Tudor responses of Byrd, Smith, Morley, Tomkins then at least go for Bernard Rose's lovely version.
