Temple

This is an arrangement for the primary song, "Families Can Be Together Forever."  As mentioned on a prior blog post, I wrote it for my daughter's upcoming temple wedding and it has special meaning for me.  I wrote a extra verse and inserted it between verse 1 and 2.  When creating the arrangement, I tried to use musical ideas from the soundtrack from "The Theory of Everything." I was so moved by it.   It was also my attempt at a Janice Kapp Perry-esque type of song-taking 2 melodies-singing them separately, then having them sung together. The arrangement has 4 pages.  I posted the parts with the bass line of the arrangement just so the choir could kind of follow along with it.  I know I need to buy some better software-I'm running on fumes here with my dinosaur computer and dinosaur notation software. My daughter really enjoyed her gift and I enjoyed making it for her.
