The Irish Blessing

[marykatekile]

I really love this. i once sang in a concert choir that had a very similar sound. Brings tears to my eyes. i plan on singing this very soon.

[cleancutamerican]

beautiful

[MsMjlover]

this song sounds the best arranged like this in my opinion.this a beautifully done i wish it was a tad bit bit faster

[mknear]

Our college choir sang this in '96, and hearing it again just brings back so many memories...Beautiful job!

[vegankissesxoxo]

My high school chorus is doing this song in a few days for a hospice service, and we're doing it for graduation. We don't shound half this good...

[hawkinman18]

This is my favorite version of the song... This group, I mean has the best 1 on Youtube in my opinion... I love the way they took the breaks at the "upon your fields;... we meet again; rest rest May the God"...

Joyce Eilers Bacak

[hawkinman18]

This arrangement was composed by the wonderful Joyce Eilers-Bacak...She also did a reeeely good version of "Song of Ruth" Sadly though, she dided this June... I was very sad to find out...I'll never sing this the same way again, because though I never met her, it felt like I had...

[kukojar]

The muzik is good,but idea is only tales for peaple 2000 year.Jaroslav

[garcias22]

i'm singing this in my choir for the spring concert! it's my favorite one we are singing. so beautiful.

[GiantLesley]

Anyone know who composed this?

[sadrummer7]

It is composed by Joyce Eilers Bacak.

I played the version for brass band arranged by Stephen Bradnum. It's Thrilling beautiful!

[robthorpe1983]

We do a brass band version of this, and it's my favourite piece to play ever. it starts as a quartet, for the first 16 bars, then swells, then dies away again. Well sung, I got chills.

[NintendoFanGirl]

I;ve never heard this done at such a slow tempo, not sure if I like it better or worse..

but great job :)

[hawkinman18]

This is the only way to perform this song, slowly. If you don't, then some of the chords won't get a chance to settle and be heard. Also, if you do like a fermata at the "upon your fields" and then again at the "We meet a gain..." just before the "may the God," then you have a lovely piece. Takes a lot of breath support thoug.

[shutterflie]

This is verrrry slow. But it's beautiful.

We did this with our chamber choir at a memorial service for one of our students. Most of us were crying though, so I'm not sure how good it sounded.

[thecrittman]

this is such a meaningful song. its so beautiful. it will hold a special place in my heart because im singing it at my grandmothers funeral. so pretty

[blossom114]

we're singing another acapella version of this song in my choir... beautiful job though.

[gina121]

[squirrelluver]

[kweeky]

There are so many different versions of this song it's unreal. The one in this recording isn't my favorite version either, but it's still beautiful (I think).
