THOU MY VISION The
24 hymn tunes on Be Thou My Vision are an
expression of the faith of the generations of worshipers
who have sung them. Representing both composed and
traditional folk melodies, they reflect the history of
hymnody in the United States that extends over the past
two hundred years. In the difficult task of narrowing
down their list of a hundred favorite hymns, Mitzie
Collins and Esther Kreek selected, with affection and
respect, hymns that have long been a part of the fabric
of personal meditation and of public worship. The ringing
notes of the dulcimer unfold each melody with clarity and
vitality, leading the listener on a path of memories,
reassurance, and sustenance. The warmth of the guitar,
the soaring descants of the flute, and the strength of
the pump organ and piano give an inviting variety of
texture to the wide range of hymns.
