All Creatures of Our God and King [CD] - BYU Concert Choir

With this farewell CD as a member of the BYU music faculty, much-admired conductor/arranger Mack Wilberg serves up a spiritually rewarding and musically memorable collection of hymns and anthems. In addition to his expressive baton and the wonderful sound of his concert choir, Dr. Wilberg's trademark style as an arranger is featured here, with instrumental ensembles accompanying and adding contrast to the choir. If you've enjoyed Mack Wilberg's work with the BYU Men's Chorus, or his subsequent appearances on broadcasts from Temple Square, then you're sure to love All Creatures of our God and King.
