An Irish Blessing, a choral
arrangement of a much-loved
Gaelic blessing, has a gentle,
lilting melody which unfolds
slowly, beginning in unison
and building to a fuller
choral texture with a descant
by the third verse. The
optional flute part adds a
folk-like quality and, in
addition to the wide dynamic
range indicated, further
textural variety can be
achieved with opportunities
for a soloist or small group
of singers.
The Faber Choral Signature
Series introduces a wealth of
new or recently written choral
music to choirs in search of
fresh repertoire. The series
draws in a rich diversity of
living composers and includes
both lighter and more
challenging contemporary
works, offering a thrilling
array of varied styles. |
