Description
Tantara Records is pleased to reintroduce the best selling album that marked the emergence of the BYU Men’s Chorus as a recording ensemble under the baton of then conductor Mack Wilberg (now director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir). Rousing hymns (“Redeemer of Israel,” “Lead Kindly Light,” and more) and folk songs from around the world (“Whoa, Haw, Buck and Jerry Boy” from early Utah, the immensely popular television favorite “Betelehemu” from Nigeria, and more) characterize this wonderful collection, which is newly available after a long hiatus in its new, digitally remastered form.
