This piece is dedicated to Dr. Dennis Cox and The University of Maine Singers as a tribute to the great musical adventure we shared when I was a student at The University of Maine in 1999. Of course there are many pieces that carry the title "An Irish Blessing" The first piece I ever sang in The Maine Center for the Arts was entitled "An Irish Blessing" back in 1995, and singing that piece with Dr. Richard Nickerson was the first time I ever heard the name Dr. Dennis Cox. That was the beginning of my great adventure, and I wanted to write and dedicate my own Irish Blessing to this excellent time in my life.  A great mentor and friend, and one of the most brilliant and charismatic Choral Conductors ever.  Cheers to DC!

An Irish Blessing

SATB Full Score

One of the first notable events I organized at The University of Maine was a Benefit Concert for The Make a Wish Foundation at The Maine Center for the Arts in 2001.  It was a very special evening where The Maine Steiners and The Ladies of Renaissance came together with many of the Greek Organizations such as Chi Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, and SigEp on The University of Maine Campus to sing and raise money for the kids. I specifically arranged this beautiful song written by the brilliant Billy Joel to be an A Cappella centerpiece to complete this unforgettable evening.  Thank you to all who made this such a great and memorable event for the kids at The Make a Wish Foundation all those years ago.

This particular arrangement of Danny Boy holds a very special place in my heart when I look back on my great adventure in music. I originally wrote this for The Maine Steiners to sing in the 2003 International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella at The Beacon Theatre in New York City. Have you seen the movie Pitch Perfect? Well we lived it! It was an unforgettable road to the finals as we competed with all of the incredibly talented groups from all over the country, and I'm very proud to say that it took a 1st place recognition in both the Arrangement and Soloist categories. As the years passed, this became a family favorite, particularly for my Grandparents Ed and Muriel who would always ask to hear it whenever we visited. I think of them always when I hear or sing Danny Boy, and it was my great honor to sing this for each of their celebrations of life. I proudly dedicate this two time Award Winning Arrangement of Danny Boy to the Golden Age of The Maine Steiners at The University of Maine and to all of my Grandparents who I was so lucky to know and to love.
