Abba is an aramaic word which means father. This work for organ opus 82 composed in 2011 follows closely the words of the Lord's Prayer. The history of the Lord's Prayer is fascinating and complex. Its text underwent many transformations. The text chosen by the composer as inspiration goes as following: PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. The music follows closely the text. In between each verse, Casteels quotes Mendelssohn's organ sonata nr 6 opus 65 nr 6.
