Publisher's Summary
With the new hymnbook and children’s songbook for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the horizon, it is an excellent time to look back at where church music has been and to see where we might be going. The Song of the Saints examines the history of the hymnbooks and children's songbooks of the church, both the official and nonofficial versions. It examines what has changed over the years in church music and why and includes new interview content from Michael Moody, who was the chairman of the 1985 hymnbook committee and other hymnbook committee members, including Bonnie Goodliffe and Darwin Wolford. These interviews yielded material about the hymnbook creation process that has never been published. The song of the righteous is a prayer unto the Lord, and throughout the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the members of church have saved these treasured expressions of faith in the pages of their hymnbooks. Come and see how the Latter-day Saints have built God's kingdom through music.
