I wrote ‘A Blessing for Today’ as a tuneful and heartfelt prayer for God’s love and protection in an increasingly difficult, secular and troubled world. It asks for guidance and strength in times of adversity, courage to help others and better ourselves, integrity, and ultimately peace.

I felt compelled to write this piece after a difficult couple of years of world pandemic, and a challenging political climate which may require great strength to collectively overcome in the coming years.

It is dedicated to Andrew O’Brien and the choir of Haileybury College, who commissioned it.
