"Christ Be Beside Me" is a new and exciting setting of James Quinn's adaption of the beloved prayer, St. Patrick's Breastplate. This scoring for SAB choir and keyboard includes a skillfully arranged descant, optional B-flat trumpet part, and a two-page guitar accompaniment with plenty of accessible and interesting chords. St. Patrick's Breastplate is perfectly suited for expressing the love of the Church for Christ, and is especially appropriate for weddings as the text conveys the sacramental symbolism of marriage.
