A warm greeting to everyone in this global open mic community. Today I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of “The Lord’s Prayer”, an a cappella choral composition composed by Albert Hay Malotte in 1935. In the context of a world emerging from great war, it offered comfort and hope in difficult times. When analyzed, one can see the influence of the European choral tradition, musical romanticism, and religious music based on biblical texts. It has a monophonic texture with rich harmony in the choir, a moderate and steady rhythm, and dynamics with emphasis and contrast. The lyrics are essentially a musical transcription of the Lord’s Prayer, one of the most well-known and recited passages in the Bible. I first heard this song sung by Andrea Bocelli, who performed it with the choir of the church where I congregate, the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. The Lord's Prayer has a special meaning: the prayer that Jesus of Nazareth made to the Heavenly Father and showed as a model to his disciples.

Un cordial saludo para todos en esta comunidad global de micrófono abierto. Hoy tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con mi trompeta de «The Lord's Prayer», una composición coral a cappella compuesta por Albert Hay Malotte en 1935. En el contexto de un mundo que venía de un gran conflicto bélico, ofreció consuelo y esperanza en tiempos difíciles. Al analizarla, se puede evidenciar la influencia de la tradición coral europea, el romanticismo musical y la música religiosa basada en textos bíblicos. Tiene una textura monofónica con una rica armonía en el coro, un ritmo moderado y constante, y una dinámica con énfasis y contrastes. La letra es, en esencia, una transcripción musical de la Oración del Padre Nuestro, uno de los pasajes más conocidos y recitados de la Biblia. La primera vez que escuché esta canción fue en la voz de Andrea Bocelli, quien la interpretó junto al coro de la Iglesia donde me congrego, el Coro del Tabernáculo de la Manzana de Templo. El Padre nuestro tiene un significado especial: la oración que Jesús de Nazaret hizo al Padre Celestial y mostró como modelo a sus discípulos.
I have a testimony about the power of prayer. My mother taught me to pray and believe in God. It was before I entered college that I learned about God’s goodness. After a long spiritual search, I had the opportunity to kneel down and pray to my Heavenly Father for wisdom. As the scriptures teach, if one lacks wisdom, ask God for it, but do so with faith that you will receive. From that moment on, my life has been different. The strength to make decisions came to my mind and heart, the clarity to see a future full of hope, and the feelings of peace, security, and joy that come from being on the right path. I have seen miracles in my life and in the lives of the people who accompany me. I have had answers to my requests and I have been blessed by my displays of gratitude and worship. I have also been guided to the right places and people, and I have also received protection. Without a doubt, prayer is the key to the blessings of heaven.

Tengo un testimonio sobre el poder de la oración. Mi madre me enseñó a orar y a creer en Dios. Fue antes de entrar a la universidad que conocí la bondad de Dios. Después de una larga búsqueda espiritual, tuve la oportunidad de arrodillarme y orar a mi Padre Celestial por sabiduría. Como enseñan en las escrituras, si uno tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a Dios, pero hágalo con fe en que recibirá. A partir de ese momento mi vida ha sido diferente. Vino a mi mente y corazón la firmeza para tomar decisiones, la claridad para ver un futuro lleno de esperanza, y los sentimientos de paz, seguridad y gozo que vienen de estar en el camino correcto. He visto milagros en mi vida y en la vida de las personas que me acompañan. He tenido respuestas a mis peticiones y he sido bendecido por mis muestras de gratitud, y adoración. También he sido guiado hacia los lugares y personas correctas, y además he recibido protección. Sin duda, la oración es la llave a las bendiciones del cielo.
