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!
