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.
