With a melody by Rolf Lovland Brendan Graham was struggling to find a lyric and a theme that was sensitive enough for Rolf's gorgeous tune. Brendan's daughter was leaving home for a year's study in Sydney her first time away from home for such a spell. The night before she left Brendan sat on the side of her bed like he had done so many times when she was a child telling stories and singing her little songs. The results are this beautiful lullaby for an older child. Desmond Earley has made the choral arrangement.

This traditional Irish folk song sub-titled “The Wealthy Woman ” has reached worldwide popularity thanks to the popular folk ensemble Celtic Woman. Desmond Earley has created this arrangement using vocal whispers body percussion and divisi choir to create a vocal orchestra that will bring the house down. Baritone and soprano solo sections give your singers a change to really shine.

Sleepsong is a rich, Celtic-inspired song for choirs looking to test their abilities with a new and exciting challenge. Released by Secret Garden in 2005, the song was written by Brendan Graham and Rolf Løvland who also penned the Westlife hit, You Raise Me Up . This beautiful and peaceful choral version has been arranged by Desmond Earley for six part chorus with Soprano solo. It was first performed by UCD Choral Scholars on April 19 2012. The piece is perfect for choruses looking to take their singing forward, with specific directions for staggered breathing throughout offering an added challenge for ensembles. Although designed to be sung A Cappella, the arrangement includes a piano reduction for easy rehearsal. / Choeur SSATBB
