Comment(s):
It was time for a new piece to serve as the concert closer and this is it. Selected for the Mike Scheibe Choral Series, this benediction uses the text of an ancient Scottish blessing that is delightfully generic in nature. Warm, deep and melodic, this is a benediction that can be used anywhere – church, school, college, community. Provided with both a piano and optional organ accompaniment (available separately), this selection is a precious end to any event. Easy to medium in difficulty.
