This Irish hymn, moville, is set for brass, organ, choir, and assembly. The tune is fresh, readily singable, and delightfully scored, including a 16-measure third stanza that will require the choir to work a bit. All in all, a fabulous piece for Christ the King or any festive occasion. John Ferguson has skillfully set a traditional, sturdy Irish melody for SATB voices and brass with optional assembly. The inner verse is for choir without assembly and is punctuated by short phrases in the brass. Good for Eastertide or general use.

The beloved text attributed to St. Patrick is set imaginatively for SATB and organ. Mostly homophonic choral phrases have a harmonic interest and momentum that belie their difficulty level. They alternate with organ phrases that solo out the melody of the traditional Irish tune SLANE. Written for the installation of a new Létourneau organ, the piece is best served by creative registrations.

Additional text by the composer adds depth to the already-lovely text: May you know grace and mercy; may you serve as you've been served; may you forgive as you've been forgiven, may you love as you've been loved. An optional guitar (or harp/synth) part provides atmosphere and a wistful, enchanting quality to the SATB and piano parts. .
