Be Thou My Vision Be Thou My Vision
Irish melody /arr. SAMUEL WELLMAN - SAMUEL WELLMAN

A harmonically luxurious arrangement of this unique and hauntingly beautiful tune. There are mild surprises: the introduction is in E flat, but the first verse opens unexpectedly in C. I reverse this process... view details
