Introit on Be Thou My Vision
Duration: 1’10″
Instrumentation: SATB. keyboard (organ preferred)
Description: This short introit is based on a paraphrase of the hymn tune Slane. There is an alternation of a capella and accompanied segments, as the first verse of the hymn is presented. A second verse, relying mainly on text from verse 3, follows. It features canonic repetition between women and men over an E pedal point with descending chords in the manuals. The short closing phrase returns to the hymn tune. Easy to medium difficulty.
