Irreantum (Many Waters) Original Composition

“And we beheld the sea, which we called Irreantum, which, being interpreted, is many waters.”

1 Nephi 17:5

They pitched their tents on the seashore. They arrived at the sea after wandering in the desert for eight years. During that eight years they had waded through much affliction. But God had strengthened and nourished them because they had kept his commandments. The place they arrived at, they called Bountiful because of its abundance of fruit and honey. Can you imagine how overwhelming the great expance of the sea would have appeared to them after wandering in the desert for eight long and bleak years. They called it IRREANTUM, meaning "many waters."

And we beheld the sea, which we called Irreantum, which, being interpreted, is many waters.  1st Nephi 17:5

This is a piece of music that I composed while contimplating the words of 1st Nephi in the Book of Mormon about Father Lehi's families journey across the desert to the land Bountiful and IRREANTUM.
