Two of the world's greatest vocal groups, one traditional and one barbershop, together in a single collection, recorded live in 1986 (don't be concerned about the sound or vocal quality; it's super). Three of the songs, 'How Great Thou Art,' 'Love At Home' and 'Nearer My God To Thee,' feature both, and the remaining eleven tracks allow each ensemble to showcase their unique talents. As the Tabernacle Choir's director, Dr. Jerold Ottley, explains, the choir sings with 'an openness of resonance, and the Majority sings primarily with forward resonance. That is, they sound brighter.' Most of the songs are inspirational (and about half are organ accompanied), though 'Danny Boy,' 'Home On The Range,' 'Windows Of the World' and Barry Manilow's 'One Voice' round out the set. Both groups have a rich and full tone that is at the same time transparent and weightless; ensemble singing at its best!

Few things are as powerful as men's voices united in song. Now, that stirring sound has been captured by the men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a triumphant collection of music - the first album ever to feature exclusively the men of the Choir. Listeners of all ages will enjoy hearing the Choir's soaring tenors, rich baritones, and strong basses lend their voices to moving arrangements of favorite songs as well as some of the most classic pieces written for male chorus including 'Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy,' 'Beautiful Savior,' 'Pilgrims' Chorus' from Tannhauser, 'You Raise Me Up,' and Billy Joel's 'Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel).'

Fresh on the heels of Praise to the Man comes a work years in the making. Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing: American Folk Hymns and Spirituals is a stunning work of artistry featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square.This collection showcases the world-class arrangements of Mack Wilberg (recently appointed as Music Director of the Choir), who has long had a passion for the music and melodies of the common man as passed down from one generation to the next. This new CD is destined to become a classic embraced by fans the world over. Featured guest performers include Alex Boye, Peggy Caan, Cheri Hancock, Mike Christiansen, and the Wasatch & District Pipe Band.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, accompanied by the huge Tabernacle organ, bring us some beautifully sung, authentic Civil War songs. We learned some of these songs in elementary school, and remember being touched by their poignancy, at the same time appalled to learn of the bloody slaughter. Soldiers on both sides marched off to songs like 'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,' 'The Bonnie Blue Flag,' 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic,' 'Dixie' and 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home,' but it's the songs like 'He's Gone Away,' 'Tenting On The Old Camp Ground,' 'Aura Lee,' 'Lorena,' 'Kathleen Mavourneen,' 'Sweet Evelina,' 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child' and the sadly unincluded 'One Vacant Chair' that tell the real, heartbreaking story of the war. We're then cheered up, however, by 9 Stephen Foster 'pop' tunes, the joyous 'Ring De Banjo,' 'Oh! Susanna,' 'The Glendy Burk,' 'Beautiful Dreamer,' 'Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,' 'Nellie Bly' and others. A powerful collection from the magnificent MTC.

O Shepherds Say!' from France, Italy's 'Song of the Bagpipers,' Austria's 'As Lately We Watched,' and Denmark's 'See the Radiant Sky Above' are particularly wonderful. 24 inspiring, beautiful songs by one of the oldest, most well-known choirs in the world!

These 360 singers, accompanied by an 110-strong orchestra, have in recent years, lent their magnificent sound to recordings of patriotic music, tunes from Broadway musicals and now a musical tribute to master cartoon and movie creator Walt Disney.

'Star' is a nostalgic, touching winner from beginning to end!
