Publisher Desc.  "Be Thou My Vision" arranged for concert band is a unique approach to an age old Irish tune that many cultures and religions have known as a traditional folk tune and hymn tune. This arrangement demonstrates the exaltation of life when adopting the greater vision of God's glory and grace. The tune from as old as the eight century was put to words in 1905 as a Christian hymn and the words "Be thou my vision, O Lord of my life, Naught be all else to me serve that Thou art. Thou my best thought by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light", continue to be a sustaining and inspiring prayer for many. The dramatic dynamics of this arrangement lead one into such a personally satisfying space.
