Lullabyzing the plan of salvation

It makes sense. With such glorious doctrine as the pre-existence, we want our children to start life with a clear idea of that first cosmic question...

"Where did I come from?"

What better way than to turn it into a lullaby?

And that's exactly what Janeen Brady did when she composed "I Lived In Heaven."

Whether your a Primary teacher, a Primary music leader, or a composer of Primary songs, getting inside the anatomy of this lullaby is instructive to your singing, teaching, or writing.

To really make the message stick, Sister Brady used some excellent melody-writing techniques.

And the piano part joins in the dialogue too, giving the song a continuous rollicking feel.

Plus, inside my analysis of this favorite Primary Song, you'll learn how to make your own lullaby even sweeter. It's all in the 3rd video about Sister Brady's use of warm, plagal harmonies.

Join me on a journey through this song inside the "Latter-Day Musiversity" smartphone app.
