Be Thou My Vision

This oboe solo begins with non-thematic material setting up the mood of the piece. The theme is then introduced in a back-and-forth format between the instrument and accompaniment. It then continues with an altered tune and conventional accompaniment in the background. After modulating upward, the piece becomes more active both rhythmically and theme alterations. The extended final section is flowing where it ends with a strong statement. Optionally, this piece can be used a duet).
