Thursday Tunes: Pioneer Day Concert

You may remember me mentioning Katherine Jenkins after we returned from a trip to the UK in 2009.  This year, she sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for their annual Pioneer Day concert.  If you missed it, you can see it below.

Thursday Tunes: I Vow To Thee My Country

I Vow To Thee My Country is a beautiful British hymn set to a variation of Holst's Jupiter theme. You can read the lyrics here. Below is fabulous Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins with her rendition.

Thursday Tunes: Katherine Jenkins

When we were driving around the UK, it was sometimes difficult to find good music to listen to. Most of their stations are controlled by the BBC, which is fine, but they had the same news over and over all day long. The other stations played really weird music - mostly club and electronica stuff. We ended up listening to a lot of classical music, which was nice. One of our discoveries was Katherine Jenkins. She is Welsh and has a beautiful voice. We were really captivated by her rendition of Lisa Lan. Go here to listen to it. (We ended up buying this album because of it!)
