Sir George Henschel's setting of the Pater noster (Our Father), was first published in 1913. The dedicatee, Sophie Weisse (1852-1945), was founder of Northlands, an all-girls school in Surrey, England. As well as George Henschel, Weisse counted many people of note among her circle of friends, including violinist Joseph Joachim, flautist Louis Fleury, and 'cellist Pablo Casals. She was the first to observe Donald Tovey's aptitude for music and took it upon herself to manage his education, all the way to Balliol College, Oxford.
