The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square has released Bravo! The #1 Albums (Mormon Tabernacle Choir®, $39.98), a multi-disc CD set of three albums that topped the Billboard® music charts. Bravo! features 53 selections from the choir’s repertoire—including some of the choir’s most beloved and requested songs—and provides more than four hours of listening. The collection comprises a trio of albums: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and Heavensong. Also included is the exclusive bonus disc, Music from 9/11: Rising Above, offered in CD format for the first time, and only available in the Bravo! collection. Recorded live on 9/11/11 in Salt Lake City for national broadcast, Music from 9/11: Rising Above features the popular stirring music performed on that “Music and the Spoken Word” broadcast as a tribute to the American spirit rising above adversity. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has recorded nearly 200 albums over the past 100 years, with five gold records, two platinum records, and a Grammy. The latest recording, Glory!, marks the 40th project to come out on the choir’s independently owned recording label. The choir’s weekly “Music and the Spoken Word” program is the world’s longest-running continuous network broadcast, and airs on more than 2,000 TV, radio, and cable stations across the country. The weekly broadcast was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in November 2010. The choir also celebrated its 100th anniversary of recordings in 2010, a record unmatched by any another American recording artist. For information: MormonTabernacleChoir.org
