General Conference Part 1

So I decided to translate (transcribe) all the songs from Conference this spring.  Some are already done, but any that aren't will be here!  Here is the first batch (in no particular order).   I got the list from LDS Gen Conf 2018 April List

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Redeemer of Israel  - I swear, I already did this one!?

I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go

As Zion's Youth in Latter Days

Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd - lots of different chords...sorry!  i try to add only 4 or 5, but i couldnt for this one. 

More coming soon!

I Lived in Heaven

This one was just one I happened across while at lds.org.  For some reason, this song makes me remember one of my primary programs as a kid.  I dont particularly like it so much, but it is decent enough.

Let me know if it doesnt work well.

A Few New Ones

Here are a few ones I was playing on the piano for practice the other day and thought they would make good additions to the ever expanding collection. 

Don't forget to check us out (and follow😇) on Moroni's Uke Facebook

My youngest daughter, who is 2, has some fun words in this songs.  "The Ice man built his house... and the rains came down and the puddies comin up!"  Not sure what puddies are...puddles?
The Wise Man and the Foolish Man

And a few more....
Search, Ponder, and Pray
Children All over the World ... such an international song!



thanks and as always, report any busted links

Mutual Theme Request

Hey all,
Here is the latest request.  i took a few liberties figuring this out for uke.  i switched a couple of octaves, i made some chord accompaniment , etc.... i hope you like it.  it is quite a nice tune.  It might be best to have the uke do a chord accompaniment as opposed to have it pick the melody.  There is a youtube version that is at the link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpPxByEdpIo) to get a good pattern going for strumming.  I suggest really accentuating the first beat of each measure to match the pattern online (it seems to have a guitar or two or three playing chords).

Big or Small

Thanks to Jeneva Putnam for the request!

And dont forget to link up with us at facebook!

Probably the Best Song

This song is one of the most touching songs out there.  My kids learned it in primary a few years back and it blew me away!  It was hard to hear and not get a little choked up.  And I dont cry at the drop of a hat....ask my wife, she laments my lack of tearing at special events....weddings, baby births, etc....

Gethsemane is a great tune!   Hope you like it.

Gethsemane

Book of Mormon Stories

This song has a few notes that a typical Uke cant get so it is transposed up 1/2 a step.  The chords are also changed from the original.  (The hands signals are not included).

So it wont accompany well if you are using the sheet music from the Childrens Songbook.

Book of Mormon Stories


Also, my sister and I started a facebook page for Ukes and LDS music.  So, if you want, you can follow and find out if new stuff is coming.  I think I am going to try to do weekly songs.

Keep those requests coming!

If the Savior Stood Beside Me

UkeMomFriend gave a nice request that was quite challenging to make work in certain ukulele forms.  Phew!  I am glad to be done with this one.

There are some "b" notes in there that I could not transpose well, so please just ignore them, play a middle "c" or just tranpose up one note in your heads on the fly.......as if!

This song was written by Sally DeFord.  I found this version in the New Era in 2007.


If the Savior Stood Beside Me

have fun
