Product Information
A first-of-its-kind history, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir tells the epic story of how an all-volunteer group founded by persecuted religious outcasts grew into a multimedia powerhouse synonymous with the mainstream and with Mormonism itself. Drawing on decades of work observing and researching the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Michael Hicks examines the personalities, decisions, and controversies that shaped America's choir. Here is the miraculous story behind the Tabernacle's world-famous acoustics, the anti-Mormonism that greeted early tours, the clashes with Church leaders over repertoire and presentation, the radio-driven boom in popularity, the competing visions of rival conductors, and the Choir's aspiration to be accepted within classical music even as Mormons sought acceptance within American culture at large. Everything from Billboard hits to TV appearances to White House performances paved the way for Mormonism's crossover triumph. Yet, as Hicks shows, such success raised fundamental concerns regarding the Choir's mission, functions, and image.

Reviews
"Mormon history written by Mormons can be pretty dry, but Mr. Hicks, a professor of music at Brigham Young University, is funkier than your average saint. . . .the anecdotes alone are worth the price of the book."-- The Wall Street Journal "Tracking the choir from its humble beginnings in 1836 to moves into radio, international touring, and TV and film appearances, the material is as expansive in scope as the choir's reach has become. . . . Intriguing."-- Library Journal , "Tracking the choir from its humble beginnings in 1836 to moves into radio, international touring, and TV and film appearances, the material is as expansive in scope as the choir's reach has become. . . .
