O Blessed Jesus

This short but stunning composition features an a cappella SATB choir and is a great option for choirs of all abilities looking for a small piece to extend a given liturgical moment. Farrell beautifully staggers the vocal entrances, and manages to give each phrase a prayerful, contemplative quality at each cadential close. It is based on St. John of the Cross's Prayer of Peace and is suitable for liturgies with themes of Christian life, comfort, peace, petition, prayer, and saints.
