Beautiful, but challenging
May It Be is a beautiful song, not difficult to sing in terms of range or basic singing. But it is challenging because the singer can make notes longer or shorter, just as he/she finds appropiate. You really have to ´dig in´ with feeling and emotion. Piano is easy to do and beautiful.

Enya-May It Be.
Enya's music has always captured me. I purchased this sheet music and I was very happy with it. The score was well laid out and easy to follow. I am also delighted with the service and speed of delivery.

choral work
For all of you that think it's a bit empty, try the SSA version. Our chorus has sung it in two concerts and everyone loves to hear it and to sing it.

Beautiful, but...
A lovely song, but a bit of an empty arrangement. The outline is there on the page, but you really need choral or violin (or something) with it to make it sound like the full, beautiful song that it is.

Very Good
I've loved this song ever since I first heard it. Now I can play it. It was kind of difficult to learn, but once I got it, I got it! But I wouldnt recomend this for beginners, though.

not thrilled
I love the song, but this arangement sounds a little empty, like it's missing something. It's still pretty, but I don't really play it much because it's a little boring. I play piano, but it would probably help fill it in some if someone were singing with it. 1oo years by Five For Fighting is much better!

nice
This piece is really pretty, very flowing and can be adjusted to your speed. It's a little tricky at first but becomes easier once you play it a few times. It's a lot of fun to play.

absolutely haunting
I've always loved Enya's version of 'May It Be', and was thrilled when I found out you could get the sheet music. Except for the sometimes-difficult rhythm, I found this to be remarkably simple and elegant.

A bit easier than I expected...
It was a bit easier than I expected it to be, but it was still beautiful, and especially good for beginners. It ca you really inspiring if you use crescendos (especially during the chorus) I love the lyrics too...are those lyrics in the chorus in Elvish?

Good recital piece
This is a nice piece, but quite simpler than what I thought it would be. Would make a nice recital piece for a young teenager.
