About The Record:
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sings, by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, is a comprehensive 5-LP box set compilation released through Reader's Digest, featuring a wide array of sacred hymns, patriotic anthems, spirituals, and inspirational classics performed by the renowned choir accompanied by organ and orchestra. This collection stands out for its broad thematic range, spanning traditional religious pieces like Faith of Our Fathers, Nearer My God to Thee, and The Lord's Prayer to American folk tunes such as This Land Is Your Land and Shenandoah, as well as classical excerpts including Hallelujah from Handel's works and Pilgrim's Chorus from Wagner. A unique aspect is its presentation as a mail-order exclusive anthology drawing from the choir's extensive catalog, capturing the ensemble's signature rich, disciplined sound that made them cultural icons for uplifting, communal music experiences. Fan-favorites and historically resonant tracks include enduring hymns like Battle Hymn of the Republic, Come, Come Ye Saints, and Climb Ev'ry Mountain, alongside spirituals such as He's Got the Whole World in His Hands and Deep River. The album itself achieved notable popularity as a Reader's Digest offering, reflecting the choir's widespread appeal in family-oriented, inspirational music markets during that era.
