This work investigates the musical arrangement of the traditional Irish hymn 'Be Thou My Vision' for choral performance. John Rutter, a prominent composer and conductor, utilizes his expertise in choral composition to adapt the 8th-century text and the 'Slane' melody. The arrangement provides a specific harmonic structure designed for SATB vocal ensembles accompanied by harp or piano.

Experts and choral directors frequently identify Rutter's arrangements as standard repertoire for church and concert choirs. The text is noted for its accessibility and effective use of traditional melodic themes within a contemporary choral framework.
