May the Road Rise to Meet You (Traditional) by Gentlemen of the College

[miloismyedward]

We're singing this in my Chorus class!

[sunblazeman]

Why do the singers clap for themselves after the song?

[shorty3788]

@sunblazeman This was the first song after the graduating director (far right) had passed the role on to the new/future director (far left). It was the first time the new director had directed the group during a concert, so they're clapping for him, not themselves.

[CrystalThePlant]

THIS IS NOT WHAT I HEARD IN CLASS...I HEARD THE EASIER VERSION WITH DIFFERENT LYRICS...

[musisnme]

BTW: All the music is original. This is not a traditional Irish tune.

Who wrote the arrangement?

[MrElnorte69]

Wonderful arrangement.

[oldgroaner]

[GotGuitars]

@BarbershopperDarbz  - and shame on the guy at the end putting his hands in his pockets.

I believe the title of this song is "Parting Blessing," traditionally the first song directed by the new director at the Gentlemen's final concert.
