An Irish Blessing. A Cappella sheet music. Intermediate.

Original

An Irish Blessing composed by Bonnie Duckworth. For SATB choir, a cappella. Parish. Cathedral. Choral, General. Medium. Choral octavo. Published by Paraclete Press. PL.0225. May God hold you in the palm of His hand is the reassuring refrain of this lovely text. Bonnie Duckworth has given us a folk-like setting that captures the simple message of the words. The theme has an effective arch that gives the piece its character and the voices are treated simply. in unison, in duet and in expansive harmony. The vocal ranges are kept moderate to retain the folk-like character. While An Irish Blessing could be used as an anthem, it would also be appropriate at the end of the worship service.
