A new melodic treatment is used with this favorite Irish hymn. Long, flowing melodic lines and a lush accompaniment make this piece well worth adding to any choral library. Part of the YouthCUE Anthem Series and very suitable for student and adult choirs.

At YouthCUE, we have enjoyed including this anthem in our two most recent festival seasons. Well-crafted for young voices, the accompaniment and ranges are ideal for middle and high school students. That being said, the anthem clearly possesses the substance and gravity to be included in the repertoire of any fine adult choir.
Highly recommended for its choral and orchestral craftsmanship and beauty, the teaching opportunities both musically and textually, and for its value in worship.
