Description:
This setting of the nineteenth-century text by Fanny Crosby (originally published in 1868 under the title “Blessed Are They That Believe”) is done in a simple, light Celtic ballad style. The voice parts are primarily in unison, and duet in sixths, with 3- and 4-part writing sparingly used in the refrain. The accompaniment mimics both the sound of the Irish harp and, later, the Irish tin whistle.
