This is my very first composition. I wrote it when I was 17 years old. I was a senior in high school when I was called to serve on a Regional Laurel Conference committee. I was put over the music and felt inspired to write the theme song for the conference – Beauty is Eternal. It was a very spiritual experience writing this song. My musical training had consisted of six months of piano lessons in the third grade, and playing trumpet in the school band. I was so unlearned that I had to look at the LDS hymnal to see which direction to place the stems on the notes. I arranged it for a 3-part women’s chorus. It was a very noble effort for a first song. I have spruced it up a bit since.
