About the Composer: Greg Gilpin

Greg Gilpin

Greg Gilpin stands as one of America's most prolific and honored choral composers, earning multiple ASCAP awards throughout his career. His conducting work has taken him to stages worldwide, from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House, Royal Festival Hall London, and concert halls across Iceland and beyond. As Director of Educational Choral Publications for Shawnee Press, Gilpin shapes the choral repertoire available to educators and singers at all levels.

Beyond composition and conducting, Gilpin has built a multifaceted career that reflects his creative versatility. He earned film scoring recognition in 2021 for his work on the award-winning short "Rosie's Rescue," collaborated with opera singer Angela Brown on a distinctive arrangement of "What Child is This?," and founded Maestro Organizing, a professional organizing business that has brought him to television appearances on Fox and NBC affiliates. Active in ACDA, NAfME, and SAG-AFTRA, Gilpin continues to compose, conduct, and teach as music and concert life expand.

Why we love this

Gilpin's gift for accessibility shines here: the piece sits comfortably in a three-part voicing yet never sacrifices musical substance or beauty. The dual-language option (Spanish and English) opens the door to genuine multicultural programming without requiring specialized vocal training, making it a natural fit for diverse ensembles and year-round concert use.

What to expect

The piece exudes quiet dignity and warmth, offering a contemporary take on traditional blessing language. Its Spanish heritage shines through the harmonic language and character, creating a moment of spiritual reflection that feels both intimate and inclusive.

Who it's for

This octavo works beautifully for SAB choirs ranging from intermediate to advanced, including school ensembles, church choirs, and community groups seeking versatile sacred repertoire. Its approachable difficulty and multicultural appeal make it ideal for singers who benefit from straightforward voicings without sacrificing musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the simplicity speak. Resist the urge to over-phrase; the strength of this blessing lies in its clarity and directness, so commit to clean vowels and a unified sound across all three parts.
  • Shape the text naturally whether singing in Spanish or English. Spend rehearsal time on authentic pronunciation so the meaning of the blessing resonates with your singers and listeners alike.
  • Use recorded accompaniment to lock in ensemble balance and tempo, then gradually rehearse without it to build confidence and independence in each voice part.

How to use it

Program this during holiday or year-round sacred concerts as a companion to other multicultural selections, or feature it as a standalone devotional moment. Its relative brevity and gentle character make it an excellent anchor for thematic programming around cultural traditions, blessings, or interfaith celebrations.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in Spanish with authentic pronunciation and diction
  • Maintaining balance and independence in a three-part mixed voicing
  • Interpreting text-based phrasing in both Spanish and English versions
  • Blending treble and lower voices within a unified choral sound
