It is hoped that as soon as conditions allow, in-person audiences will once again be invited to join the Choir for its performances. Performing live for Music & the Spoken Word has been a “step on the ice” that has taken extraordinary patience, sacrifice, and faith from all members of The Tabernacle Choir organization.Īs we all continue to lean forward, the Choir organization is working hard to make sure that this step of in-person singing continues to be successful through our COVID protocols. For now, the Choir organization is “leaning forward with faith” as Choir president Michael Leavitt has urged- one careful “step at a time" as we move towards the future. The world needs the power of uplifting music to help listeners feel peace and comfort in this challenging world, and to bring listeners closer to the divine. In addition to the visual changes, audiences will be pleased to see and hear that in the first live broadcast on October 24 the music repertoire will include four new music selections: Mack Wilberg’s new composition “We Thank Thee, Lord, for This New Day,” and his new arrangements of “Tuya es la gloria (To Thee Be the Glory),” (sung in both Spanish and English) and “Now Thank We All Our God,” as well as Richard Elliott’s new organ solo “Praise and Thanksgiving.” Future Music & the Spoken Word broadcasts will also include more new music by Wilberg and associate music director Ryan Murphy.

These fresh, new refinements will make it evident to everyone the Choir and Orchestra are back with a new repertoire and inspiring messages. The oldest rookie in the LAPD now faces his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made.

Thanks to the success of The Tabernacle Choir’s COVID protocols and building on its experience singing at the October general conference sessions, the entire Choir-as well as the Orchestra at Temple Square and Bells at Temple Square-will perform in-person for the first live Music & the Spoken Word program in 19 months!Īs a clear signal that Music & the Spoken Word episodes going forward are brand new and not re-aired as has been the case since March 2020, there is a whole new look to the broadcast.
