Now available for SSAA voices! The third movement of Craig Courtney’s trilogy, Divine Encounter, The Blessing is a newly-composed benediction based on Numbers 6:24-26. As Jesus blessed and multiplied the fish and bread, so God blesses the offering we bring to Him. The melody, which is one large-scale arc, is stated twice, creating a simple, sincere message of peace and rest. Suitable for use on its own, or as part of the three-movement work; effective in both worship and concert settings. Scored for SSAA choir and organ (in choral score) or piano (available separately) with optional brass sextet, or string quartet, or full orchestra. An accompaniment track (brass and organ) is also available. Church Scripture reference: Numbers.
