I love good music, but as I have gotten older I have appreciated a little more peaceful music in my life! I didn’t always like it when my mom turned on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday mornings, but I have learned to love it and to really enjoy the peace of their beutiful music! I was excited to listen to this new album, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Friends. The Mo Tab singing with legendary vocal artists was beautiful! Even my kids liked it and didn’t ask me to “turn it down” or “turn it off MOM!!” I would totally recommend this CD to anyone. It has fun songs that even your children will recognize!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has collaborated with some of the most legendary vocalists and performers over the years. For this album, the Choir has assembled an unprecedented collection of recordings taken from standout performances over the past 15 years. Most of these performances were recorded live at the 20,000+ seat Conference Center in Salt Lake City. In addition, some real gems were uncovered or created specifically for this album, including a performance recorded live before millions of viewers at the start of the 2002 Winter Olympics (Sting & Yo-Yo Ma performing “Fragile”) and new recordings such as Amy Grant’s “Thy Word,” The King’s Singers’ “I’m Running On,” and Santino Fontana’s “He Lives in You.”
