"Be Thou My Vision" has been a favorite with advanced student choirs and church adult choirs for a number of years. It is difficult to put into words how this music so effectively "works." It is wonderful art, impeccable craftsmanship, the work of the master choral composer. Accompaniment and full orchestration are equally exquisite and artistic.
Selected for the 2013 Labor Day at the Cathedral Concert (for adults), the beauty of this anthem will ring clearly within one of the great singing halls in North America.
