This song was written by Mary Donnelly, arranged by
George L. O. Strid, and published in 1992 by Shawnee
Press. It is written for 3 parts with optional bass
part, written for the Lycoming Pennsylvania Junior
County Chorus Festival. It's easy, and has been one of
our favorites for quite a while.
"You Raise Me Up" is a popular song in the
inspirational mould. The music was written by Secret
Garden's Rolf Løvland; the lyrics by Brendan
Graham. The song was originally written as an
instrumental piece and entitled "Silent Story".
"May your life be filled with song. And may your
friends all sing along." These two simple sentences
begin the heartfelt text of this lovely choral ballad.
The melodies are equally beautiful in their simplicity.
