Introit on Be Thou My Vision
a composition for satb chorus and keyboard (organ preferred)
by Robert Train Adams
masterlist
: choral
Duration
1'10"
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.
