Deep Peace—David Barton. This lyrical piece
is based on a traditional Gaelic blessing and is very
versatile. It could be done as a solo, duet or even
with mixed voices. Only four measures of the piece
are written in harmony, divided either soprano/alto or
with the high voices taking the upper part and lower
voices taking the harmony. The simplistic beauty
and flowing accompaniment make this a meaningful
benediction or possibly a short anthem.

parts, and then expands to SATB. The optional eight
handbells provide an added element of joyous praise
to this festive worship opener, proclaiming "Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
