A Gaelic Blessing
[edit]... that John Rutter's choral composition A Gaelic Blessing is based mostly on a Gaelic text which associates deep peace with nature?

... that John Rutter's choral composition A Gaelic Blessing associates deep peace with nature, lyrics that are often described as being adapted from the text on a Gaelic rune?
The hook is short enough, neutral and interesting. But I can't see any source that shows that the words came from an actual text; lots of sources loosely attribute them to "an ancient Gaelic rune" which sounds suitable mystical. I have suggested an another hook. Qualifies for DYK nomination with the prose portion expanded at least fivefold. Style is compliant with policy- neutral and sourced using inline references. Checking article against source does not reveal any copyright violations or close paraphrasing. QPQ has been met. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:29, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for looking, and ALT1, but I am afraid that gets to complicated. How is this? (The composer is not linked on purpose. In articles, we don't link to a composer when the piece has an article, to avoid a "sea of blue", and for DYK we want to focus on the article in question.)

Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't sure why you hadn't linked to Rutter himself. ALT2 manages to be interesting, get key information across and still remain concise. Good to go. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
