Review:
This lively arrangement of the hymn tune SLANE (Be Thou My Vision) re-imagines the traditional 3/4 meter in a spirited 4/4 time. Energetic rhythms and syncopated accents bring a fresh, joyful perspective to the well-loved melody. Bright harmonies and rhythmic vitality, featuring interspersed marts, mart-lifts, and shakes, make this a standout selection for worship services or concerts, offering both familiarity and surprise in equal measure. Compatible editions for 3 and 4-6 octaves are available.
