Be Thou My Vision from Three Folk Hymns

Be Thou My Vision has a dimension of an entreaty to the Lord, as if asking for the Lord’s presence to be there at all times. Thus, the phrase “Be Thou” repeats as a background during the singing. Even the opening piano introduction speaks the two-note pattern which will fill the entire song. The men’s and women’s voices are paired in dialogue throughout much of the music. Duration: 4:00
