left a fame and name that cannot be slain. Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. The Joseph Smith Foundation and LDS Answers oppose the current trends and we have put together this list of statements by Latter-day prophets who testified of the Prophet’s greatness.
An increasing number are voicing their feelings that the Prophet should be taken off of the pedestal to which he has been placed by early Church members and leaders who knew him best.
Hallelujah mormon tabernacle choir deseret vbook full#
The full concert is available on DVD and CD.Currently among Latter-day Saints, there is a great contention about how we should view Joseph Smith. Its redeeming message of peace and love can live in our hearts always. With other beloved choral and orchestral works and the Choir’s traditional finale, “Angels from the Realms of Glory,” this inspiring concert reminds us that Christmas is a time of joy and wholehearted celebration. The glorious music from Messiah also figures in Richard Elliott’s virtuosic organ solo-another beloved tradition at these concerts- culminating again in a majestic chorus of “Hallelujah!” This stirring account chronicles as well the oratorio’s underlying message of the liberating influence of true charity, a moral already apparent in the work’s early history. With arias performed by the Metropolitan Opera soloists and choruses drawn from the oratorio, Martin Jarvis narrates a compelling tale of Handel’s personal struggles and triumphs.
“Of At the heart of this concert is a dramatic retelling of the story behind the composition and first performances of Handel’s celebrated oratorio Messiah. The Choir joins in with beloved carols from the distant (and not so distant) past, including “Of the Father’s Love Begotten,” “Fum, Fum, Fum!,” the gentle “Wexford Carol,” and Ryan Murphy’s brisk new arrangement of “Over the River and through the Wood.” Her tender rendition of “The Secret of Christmas” reminds us that love and compassion are not seasonal, but year-round. In this live recording from those concerts, the focus on the Savior’s birth rings out in Osnes’s heartfelt singing of “O, Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and a medley of celebratory “bell” carols. Singers, instrumentalists, and dancers drawn from the local community also joined in the visual and musical spectacle, thrilling the combined capacity audience of over 60,000 in the Conference Center at Temple Square. In December 2015, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Orchestra at Temple Square, and Bells on Temple Square joined with Broadway star Laura Osnes, acclaimed British actor Martin Jarvis, and four distinguished soloists from New York’s Metropolitan Opera-Erin Morley, Tamara Mumford, Ben Bliss, and Tyler Simpson-to help usher in the Christmas season with praise through music. And there’s no better time than Christmas to gather with friends and loved ones, reflect on the true message of the season, and in word, thought, and music offer up our own “Hallelujahs” to the One whose birth we celebrate. Both an exclamation and exhortation, this declaration of faith has for millennia been accompanied by enthusiastic praise through music and song.
“Hallelujah!”-in just one word it sums up superbly all the enthusiasm, joy, and hope of Christmas.
