Comments for this piece:
From Abigail Solstad: Oh my goodness! I haven't listened to the whole program yet, but I am in awe!! I think it is really cool to see a whole program written for Captain Moroni, who really was a hero in old and modern times. Thank you for an amazing piece! Will be trying to perform in the future!
5.0 stars.

5. Fanfare
6. Recitative "When Moroni heard these things, he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it -- In mem'ry of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.  He called it the title of liberty; and he bowed to the earth, and prayed mightily to his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren.  When he had poured out his soul to God, he named all the land -- A chosen land, and the land of liberty." -- Alma 46:11-13, 17.

16. Aria "Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph; let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or our garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into prison, or be sold, or be slain.  Yea, let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph." -- Alma 46:23-24
