for SATB with piano or organ A moving, traditional Irish blessing set to music of great simplicity and beauty. Chilcott perfectly captures the warmth and sincerity of the text, and weaves a memorable melody, which he clothes in rich harmony. This German translation of rish Blessing is offprinted from Glory to God.
Bob Chilcott has been involved with choral music all his life, first as a Chorister and then a Choral Scholar at King's College, Cambridge. Later, he sang and composed music for 12 years with the King's Singers. His experiences with that group, his passionate commitment to young and amateur choirs, and his profound belief that music can unite people, have inspired him both to compose full-time and, through proactive workshopping, to promote choral music worldwide.
