"Men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir," an interview with Mack Wilberg

While it might seem strange that cutting the Tabernacle Choir in half would result in a number-one album on the Billboard Classical charts in its first week of release, that's exactly what happened.In this audio tour of the album, you'll hear the choir's director, Dr. Mack Wilberg, talk about the decision to make the album, the rich tradition of men's choral music, and why they chose this particular balance of classical and contemporary songs, which has struck a chord with so many listeners.That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...Playlist:1.   Brethren, We Have Met to Worship2.   Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy3.   The Morning Trumpet4.   Fight the Good Fight with All Thy Might5.   Evening (Aftonen)6.   Land-Sighting (Landkjenning)7.   Dance a Cachuca, Fandango, Bolero (Finale from The Gondoliers)8.   Alleluia9.   Pilgrim's Chorus from Tannhäuser10.
