"Be Still My Soul: Rendition"


"Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on... When we shall be forever with the Lord." -Katharina von Schlegel (Be Still My Soul)

A demo version of my rendition of the LDS hymn, "Be Still My Soul".

Historical note: The original tune name is "Finlandia" and is, originally, one of Finland's national songs.

Religious note: The tune has been used for hymns for other Christian beliefs ("We Rest On Thee", "This is My Song", etc.)

{Original melody: Jean Sibelius
Rendition melody: Ashley S. Harmon
Sounds/compilation: GarageBand
Movie compilation: iMovie}

The live piano version is rather better, in my opinion, but I hope you enjoy this anyways!
