Canon Michael McCarthy, Director of Music at the National Cathedral, has written original music to the traditional text which begins "May the road rise to meet you…". A brief tenor solo begins the piece, which has a lovely melody and an undulating organ accompaniment. The choir ends the setting with an elaboration of the material which the soloist sang at the beginning. Part of the Washington National Cathedral Series.
