Inspired by the shimmering night sky in northern
latitudes, this picturesque number paints a glorious
astral nightscape. Listeners are taken on a journey
that starts with quiet sounds as a single star begins
moving across the horizon. As darkness grows
and more stars appear, the music grows as well,
building in texture before ending with spectacular
sounds depicting a sky full of sparkling lights.

Be Thou My Vision—arr. David Gillingham. It's
not often you come across a composition that offers
the high level of musical merit needed to appeal to
directors and also offers an emotional depth able
to truly move an audience. This is such a piece.
Gillingham bases his reverent and powerful work on
the hymn tune Be Thou My Vision (also known as
the old Irish ballad Slane), with its eternal message
of faith and hope. It goes far beyond being an
arrangement of a familiar hymn tune, as Gillingham
gives moments of real drama in the shimmering
tonal colors provided by the woodwinds and the
glorious brass lines that break through like dazzling
sunlight through the clouds. It's the kind of work
you will want your band to experience. We are
proud to give this our highest recommendation!
