Thursday Tunes: Pilgrim Song

When we returned from Utah Saturday, we went straight from the airport to Ravinia to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  It was a lovely evening.  One of the songs that we enjoyed (that we had not heard before) was "Pilgrim Song."

Thursday Tunes: Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise

When we were in Utah, we attended Music and the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle.  It was really great.  One of the numbers that the choir performed was Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise.  I couldn't find a version by the Tabernacle Choir on YouTube, but I found this one of a combined Institute choir.  (They often sing this hymn for General Conference, so be watching this weekend!)

Thursday Tunes: The Lord is My Shepherd

On Music and the Spoken Word last week, the Tabernacle Choir sang Howard Goodall's The Lord is My Shepherd.  We really love this song - we first discovered it while watching "The Vicar of Dibley."  (It's the opening.)  So I have to say sorry MoTab, I like English choir versions better...  (And, yes, this is what England really looks like.)

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: Music and the Spoken Word

When we were in Utah, we got to attend a broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word.  During the summer, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performances are held in the Conference Center.  It was a neat experience.  (Don't worry - I took pictures at the end, when they said we could.)
