ubbed "America's Choir" by President Ronald
Reagan, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir celebrated
75 years of continual broadcasting in
July 2004. Author Heidi S. Swinton writes, "How
do you tell the story of a choir that began
singing to sagebrush and is now courted by
concert halls in the most sophisticated cities
across the globe? Such fame has never been
their purpose or their statisfaction. Theirs is
a history of volunteers who, year after year,
from one century to another and then into
another, kept working, kept serving, kept
singing. They have sung with a spirit that
points to Almighty God. And there lies their
secret to success."
