Mary of Graces

Description

Mary of Graces is an arrangement of the traditional Irish hymn A Mhuire na ngrás, setting the anonymous Irish text in the English translation by Douglas Hyde. A prayer for protection and guidance, it concludes with a simple and touching invocation that Mary’s loving arms might bear the soul to God.

Suitable for parish, cathedral and chamber choirs, Mary of Graces is particularly appropriate for Marian feasts, services of remembrance and other liturgical occasions, while also making an effective concert item.
