UA Schola Cantorum: "Irish Blessing" at St. Vitus Cathedral

The University of Arkansas' prime choral ensemble "Schola Cantorum" is performing internationally in May 2008. Their Central European Performance Tour organized by Incantato Tours & Concert Management brings the choir to the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary.

"Awake, my Soul, and Sing!" is the title of the concert series directed by Dr. Graeme Langager. The choir presents choral compositions on life and love, joy and pain, and the indomitable human spirit.

Schola concluded their concert in the beautiful cathedral of St. Vitus in Cesky Krumlov with an encore of "Irish Blessing" conducted and composed by Graeme Langager.

Dear Salemgirl87, this Irish Blessing is by Dr. Graeme Langager, Professor at the University of Arkansas and Director of the Schola Cantorum you hear in this recording. Isn't it great?

@IncantatoTours I once sung with Graeme at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, CA which is halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. I've even sung it solo at a memorial service.

My choir is doing this piece this year... we'll be taking it with us to Vienna and Budapest! I cannot wait to hear it for myself in the Cathedrals! GORGEOUS performance!

To IncantatoTours: Yes. It is simply breathtaking. Singing it is such a beautifully emotional experience. I was lucky enough to do it this season at the University of Miami. Thank you for this gorgeous piece.
