Malachi Cush music brings joy this festive season
Irish singer-songwriter collaborates with the Omagh Community Youth Choir
Embracing the spirit of Christmas, Malachi Cush, one of Ireland’s most influential singer-songwriters, collaborated with the Omagh Community Youth Choir to create a heartfelt festive classic.
The soulful notes of Malachi resonate with families celebrating Christmas, as they listen to his composition entitled ‘Sleep Oh Infant Child’, first performed at his Concert at the Cathedral last Christmas.
Penned with inspiration drawn from the timeless themes of hope and love that grace the Christmas story, Malachi envisioned that ‘Sleep Oh Infant Child’ would touch hearts and invited the choir to lend their voices to enrich the chorus.
Speaking about his inspiration for ‘Sleep Oh Infant Child’, Malachi said: “At this magical time of year, our thoughts naturally turn to the birth of Christ and the radiant star over Bethlehem, so I wanted to create a song that families could connect with, something truly special for the festive season.
"As I composed the lyrics, the idea of a choir elevating the chorus seemed like the perfect addition. Having worked alongside the Omagh Community Youth Choir on a few occasions, I knew they were the perfect choice, a group with a remarkable legacy.
“I’m really pleased with how it all came together for this song. The intertwining of the choir’s voices, alongside Garth McConaghie’s enchanting musical arrangement, has created a song that I earnestly believe wraps listeners in the warmth and joy of the Christmas season.”
Let the evocative melodies of Malachi Cush and the Omagh Community Youth Choir become the soundtrack of your Christmas, infusing warmth and joy into your home this festive season.
