| About this piece... |
|
| |
|
| I'll Show My Faith is one
of seven pieces that I wrote for a musical youth fireside for our
Stake. The Alto part for this came to me very quickly as did
both parts for the chorus, but the Soprano verse did not come to me
immediately. I played around with some melodies and then I
began thinking of a certain young woman in my ward. Ever since
she was young she has had a beautiful voice. As I began
listening to her voice in my head, the Soprano melody and words came
quickly and easily. Both youth who sang this piece did an
excellent job, but it was a very spiritual experience for me to
actually hear this sweet youth sing the part I had been
inspired to write for her. |

|
| The alto part is like our
thoughts. Why am I here? What should I be doing?
We all know some answers, but ultimately we must show our faith so
we may learn more. The soprano part is the answer to the first
questions as if our Heavenly Father was speaking back to us.
"I know your joys and fears. I am here." The whole
writing process of this song was like a prayer for me. As this
whole fireside related to Alma the younger, I'm sure he would have
had similar thoughts, prayers, and answers from our Heavenly Father. |
