Description
An Irish Blessing is a choral setting for SATB and piano or organ of the traditional Gaelic prayer which begins "May the road rise to meet you". Its gentle melody unfolds slowly, beginning in unison and building to a fuller choral texture with a descant in the third verse. The optional flute part adds a folk-like quality and, in addition to the wide dynamic range indicated, further textural variety can be achieved with opportunities for a soloist or small group of singers.
Perfect for school choirs, weddings, church services, any leaving celebration or a concert programme.
The Faber Choral Signature Series introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and more challenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
