Old Irish Blessing

[CounterUAV123]

How can anyone dislike such an amazing song??

[ddthienvuong]

@CounterUAV123 Justin Bieber's fans said the same on his videos, lol!

Dear My Teacher Dr. CC Su:

I already invented an analog circuit loop in your holy name.

I Love this song!

[AlinaTowers]

I sang this in my high school choir. So lovely! Wish I could find accompaniment for it now. I'd like to sing it as a solo, although it would never be the same as with a whole choir!

[tsampika911]

@AlinaTowers the choir i'm in also thinks that it would be great if we were to sing this.. do you have by any chance the sheets? i'd be very grateful :) (and all the other members of the choir!)

[pitcommandersolo]

I love this song!

[nextgenerationdemon]

Q: what makes ireland awesome?

A: everything.

[ConkerTinyKong14]

I remembered first singing this song with all the other choir members last year to everyone who was graduating. I'm graduating this year and I got to hear everyone sing this to my class. I'll admit it made me cry. :'(

[sharpshooter48]

every year at the last concert of the school year all the seniors that were in choir get up and sing this,they learn it every year they're in choir they learn in again until they finally perform

[KeenanSophieLarafan]

I love this. We sing it in my choir. We're singing it to the seniors. :) Such a soulful piece. :D

[mickaia]

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. The sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand. May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

[troc2012]

I love this song

[TrptFreek123]

Woke up today with this song in my head. It must be a sign for a good St. Patricks day.

[arcticwolfsong]

This is a beautifully sung recording! Thank you for sharing it!

Our choir also sings this song to close each performance -- it is simply heavenly to sing and feel the voices swelling around you.

(My sheet music shows that the music is by, Denes Agay. We got ours through WB Music, though it may be years ago....)

[xxNickxx777]

@arcticwolfsong

Yes. This Song is by Denes Agay. I Just got the sheet music for one voice but not for choir -.-

I don't know, if the choir arrangement is by Denes Agay, too. But unfortunately you can't buy the score at the internet... just 15 at one time...

By the way: I love this song too.... It's so beautiful.

[12321kaitlynn]

this is my choir's song that we sing at the end of each year. i love this song. im just learning it this year since im a freshman, but its so beautiful <3

[HalfPintOcider]

First hit I got when searching for the melody of this song for my husband was actually a site listing the sheet music. Hope that helps, pathwandering.  :-)

Thanks for posting this, Chan0the0Man. Beautiful arrangement and the lyrics were a particularly nice touch!

[ClaytonSageantes]

Where is this castle????

[jarlana]

@ClaytonSageantes

It is the Rock of Cashel.....you can't visit Ireland without going to this amazing place.

Cheers

[xXxSkiLarxXx]

i wish i could go back in time and see the medieval time and other times in history

like WW2! i love History! its amazing! i wish i could have lives in those times! i know i would probably be a poor guy but i would love to see those times.

If some day someone finds a "teleporter" or a "time Machine" i want to be one of the first to try it!

[wowjaina]

[SaphireTsukikage]

[iFlyMJx]

[fearghailM]

The castle in the picture is the rock of csshel in cashel county tippeary Ireland.

[Tarcangel56]

I graduated from high school in 1974 but clearly remember this piece because it was my favorite from my high school chorus days. This is a very pretty rendition and photo.

[raverhigh]

This particular piece was recorded over 10 years ago by the Sprague Choir. My favorite version on the tube :) Great job...

[pattiboo]

What is the name of the choir? Gorgeous!

[Deafernoon]

I like potatos :D

[DaftPunkLVR]

Had to sing this song for Choir in 5th grade. 4 years later, I still remember the song. x) It stuck.

[starfoxjr6976711]

My friend Crystal just sang this at my high school graduation!

[PastTimePsychic]

Umm... I don't mean to be a nag and I hate people who say this, but I've recently sung this song with my vocal class, and I noticed the lyrics a different from the song played. It might be that it is a different version, but I just thought you should know.

[chingchon03]

they played this at my 8th grade graduation today (my school goes through 8th grade) and everyone was crying

.

[babychika1230]

awesome dynamics! I just wish their vowels on "God" and "Hand" were taller!

[dragonlong6669]

Blessed be.

[Forandar]

Denes Agay is a Hungarian composer, who died 3 years ago in the age 95. Doesnt that mean that this is not Irish nor old blessing?

[threedaysgrace0011]

" blessing" by katie moran bart its the same song but a lil differant look it up =)

[DarkAntem]

Wonderful

[IdhrenionTheWise]

I so want to go to Ireland!!! Till then, I will keep listening to Celtic music and writing my story that's based in Ireland. :D

[sesewell1]

My high school choir seniors sing this song every year at Graduation.

[proudgooner23]

nice picture of the Rock of Cashel

[ecfiss]

What an inspiring song!

[susiq1067]

Could you please tell me who is singing this?

[wolftreetree]

may the Lords blessings always follow you.

[Sundrumify]

This Blessing is for my friends in Ireland and all my friends around the world.

From Munich, Lisa

[mooners40]

@Sundrumify I'm not in Ireland , but I'm Irish :-) and may you say yes to my question? ;-)

[Sundrumify]

@mooners40

Felt that you were. Saying yes to your question?! Yes, in spirit, and that means a lot!

Lisa

[mooners40]

@Sundrumify :-) x - another Irish blessing is - may your roof never fall in and the people under it never fall out :-)

and your kind answer means a lot to me, Ciaran

[Wolffiegirl]

I sang this in my choir in high school...so beautiful

[jarlana]

We visited this castle when we were in Ireland. The view back down the hill is amazing when you are standing in the grave yard. What an amazing place. I didn't want to leave.

[Willow1120]

@jarlana Where is it? Thanks!

[chetdog]

the lyrics was on one powerpoint slide at uni, and that was the day i found out my enrolment was cancelled due to my academic grades. that was a fucking powerfully influential day

[phaedruscj]

The song should be attributed exclusively to Denes Agay. A google search will lead easily lead to the sheet music to confirm this.

[adrianna24sings]

A beautiful song from a lovely country (Ireland)

This choir is outstanding!

[m4f14g1rl]

i would very much like to know the name of choir..!!

[bmazzola1]

[Celticson50]

And how did it go?

[APK1909]

We always sang this song @ graduations except our version wasn't upbeat like this one... it had a more solemn & sad quality to it. You COULD NOT resist crying your eyes out. Lol, I LOVE this song & i hope it stays w/ me 4ever. =)

[Cybrokat]

This is always sung at the last concert of the year, by the underclassmen and alumni to the graduating seniors. <3

[rhythmictrolllover]

[tullfunatik]

[STRTRKN1]

Whalen--me too! I sent it to my friend and choir buddy (from over 20 years ago)... I loved singing this song.... Pathwandering, I can't promise that I still have it, but I will look...

[nym685]

Irish pride baby

[pathwandering]

I'm trying to find the score for this version of the song but haven't had any luck. Do you know who the arranger, publisher etc. is?

[Chan0the0Man]

I can't find much on this song on the internet but it's either from Bob Chilcott or James Moore.

[finnhere2]

Not Chilcott, I've heard his version and this is not it.

[pathwandering]

I found Moore's version, not his either...

[spiegelhaus]

@Chan0the0Man If I ever get my scanner to work, I might be able to forward you a copy. I have a copy of the choral accompaniment.

[Haleyjoy0]

@pathwandering It's arranged by Denes Agay and is published by Warner Bros. Publications Inc. The order number is 487-40294.  :)

[dasdafoij]

@pathwandering you can get this by getting youtubedownloader. easypeasy

[wilsiqueirabrazil]

@pathwandering I have this score but the lyrics are in Portuguese, is the same arranger. For SATB and piano

[dreldog]

@pathwandering Hard copy available for ordering on the J.W. Pepper choral music website. (do a search for "Old Irish Blessing" and then find the Agay arrangement). This will include the piano accompaniment and all choral parts. I sang this in high school, and I'm going to buy myself a copy!

[punter35]

Where can I get this recording please. I need it for service next Monday. Thanks

[whalen1917]

I remember singing this in Chorus in my High School. Teary at the thought.
