About the Author
The 360 members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir represent men and women from many different backgrounds and professions and range in age from 25 to 60. They reflect a medley of unique lives and experiences and are brought together by their love for singing and their faith. Their incomparable voices are the common chord that unites to form the choral group known all over the world as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir originated in the mid-19th century in Salt Lake City. As the Latter-day Saints moved west, Church President Brigham Young included musicians among members of the advance parties. Consequently, a small choir first sang for a conference of the Church in the Salt Lake Valley on August 22, 1847, just 29 days after the first group arrived. The origins of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir may be found in the desire and commitment of early converts to include appropriate music in both sacred and secular events.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has appeared at 13 world’s fairs and expositions, performed at the inaugurations of five U.S. presidents, and sung for numerous worldwide telecasts and special events. Five of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s recordings have achieved “gold record” and two have achieved “platinum record” status. The most popular was the Grammy-Award-winning 1959 release of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

I own and have listened to the CD. It is one of my favorites. This CD includes some of the greatest songs from Broadway and movies. When those words are sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the effect is overwhelming. What a wonderful gift for friends and family. Thank you for providing yet another wonderful example of beautiful and uplifting music.

The Tabernacle Choir is truly amazing, and each CD they release is a testament to that. Showtime does not disappoint! The power of the choir is definitely expressed through this CD. The pure strength of the choir w/ the soloists as they end "Circle of Life" blows me away every time.
Stunning

Very nice rendition of some popular show-tunes and musicals! My personal favorite is "Who will buy" from the musical "Oliver", and other great songs on this CD include the much sought after "In Dreams" from Lord of the Rings. This makes for a very great gift, for family and friends, or just for yourself!
