Irish Blessing (SAT[B]B) (1991) - choir (with or without keyboard) by Nicholas Palmer
In 1991, I felt that the world was in dire need of another setting of the Irish Blessing, so here it is. It is a cappella, very short, expressive, and fairly easy. There is a short stretch which has men in 3 parts, but this can be easily negotiated by an average choir or a director willing to leave out a note here or there.

Very Nice!
Very rich chords and a very good key to enhance the beautiful range of the piece. I am not a choir composer, but so far your piece truly made me go, "Wow! thats good!". Simplicity is usually the most beautiful thing you can master in music. Keep up the good work.
