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.

The composition concludes just as it started, completing the musical journey with the heavenly sounds of the singing bell.
