Hello
I'm a composer and I'd love to have a Gaelic verse in my new Gaelic Blessing choral work for youth choir.
Can anyone teach me the pronunciation on the phone/skype?

I'd be SO happy to find someone!

It would help if you were to post the verse here (or are you asking for suggestions?). There are several native or fluent speakers who could create sound files for you.

Also, you are asking for Irish, right? The term Gaelic is normally used these days to mean Scottish Gaelic. The two languages are closely related (both descended from Old Irish), but there are a lot of differences now, especially when it comes to pronunciation.

Hello

I've always assumed this was Irish - (since I heard it at an Irish wedding)..

What I'm looking for is Irish Gaelic or Irish - is that a clear description?

I'll need a real live human being as I'll need to recite it myself under their supervision to be sure its right. I know there are lots of Youtube videos out there.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

Wonderful!

Now I need to learn how to pronounce it (please don't post recordings etc - I need a real person)...

Unfortunately, that first line is a mistranslation of the original Irish.

The Irish is also not likely to scan, if your composition is based on the English.

Oh dear! I'll adopt the original then......

Ah, you can smell the gratitude...
