Be thou My vision, O Lord of My Heart, Be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; Be thou My best thought in the day and the night, Both waking and sleeping, thy presence My light. Be thou My wisdom, be thou My true word, Be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord; Be thou My great Father, and I thy true son; Be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one. Be thou My breastplate, My sword for the fight; Be thou My whole armour, be thou My true might; Be thou My soul's shelter, be thou My strong tower; O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of My power. Riches I heed not, not man's empty praise, Be thou My inheritance now and always; Be thou and thou only the first in My Heart: O Sov'reign of heaven, My treasure thou art. High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Son, O grant me its joys after victr'y is won; Great Heart of My own Heart, whatever befall, Still be thou My vision, O Ruler of all.  less

As a composer, I tend to lean toward and connect to slow and emotional Pieces. I have always been someone who strives to convey emotional complexity, therefore writing an up-tempo Piece had to be purposeful and meaningful. The inspiration for this score comes from the first time I was able to hear My son's Heartbeat during an ultrasound. It was a magical and exciting moment that I will never forget; however, leading up to that specific moment there was an element of tension. Six months prior to hearing My son's Heartbeat, My wife and I found ourselves in a very different situation with the outcome of an ultrasound. We arrived at the hospital excited to meet our child, only to discover we had silently miscarried. I had never felt so deflated and aimless in one sudden moment. It was as if I was a boat, drifting, with no direction in My life. Fast forward to this ultrasound with our soon-to-be son. You can imagine the excitement and fear we bo...    less

We are a group of like-minded young people who have come together to express life in all its wonderful facets through vocal music! We are students. We are friends. We all study at Stellenbosch University and believe in the power of music to uplift, entertain and educate. We aim to share our voices and talent with all who will listen! Any person acquainted with student culture understands the important role of music and singing in the life of a young person. Acastella is a platform for young adults studying at Stellenbosch University to practice their love of singing. Unfortunately the members got spread across the vast world and thus decided to stop Acastella at the end of 2013.  less
