Helaman 5:12

Morning Glory composed this song.  First she chose which part of the verse she felt was the most important in order to shorten it for Lady Slipper to also be able to learn it.  Then she composed a rhythm to go along with the words and finally solfege tune with only three tones (S M D) to keep it as a simple Kodaly level I composition.  Good work Morning Glory!

(Note that this tempo is fairly fast, also after submitting the composition somehow the notes in the last two measures show up in the wrong order, however the notes are played in the correct order when listening so this will still give those who don't understand solfege and good idea of the way this song sounds)
