This video, featuring Handel’s Messiah by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was put together in partnership with BYU TV just for Youtube. I think it’s a beautiful piece. Many people, Christian and not, can’t imagine the holidays without this amazing Choir. I think back to “Mr. Krueger’s Christmas” (with Jimmy Stewart), something close to my family, which my Grandfather (and namesake) produced – perhaps one of the most famous cameos by the Choir. Their weekly broadcast, “Music and the Spoken Word”, recently won a Radio Hall of Fame entry for being the longest running Radio Show in America. You’ve seen them singing around the world, in front of the Whitehouse, at the Olympics, and even comforting America after 9/11. Ronald Reagan called them, “America’s Choir.”
It’s been an honor working with them recently, although I admit, working with them has been not anywhere near as effective as just letting their talent and beautiful voices speak for themselves. Please enjoy this video and, if you like it, share it with someone else you think it might touch:
