Mormonism and Music: A History (Music in American Life)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Music has flourished in the Mormon church since its beginning. In this book--now available in paperback--Michael Hicks examines the direction that music's growth has taken since 1830. He looks closely at topics including the denomination's first official hymnals; the views of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young on singing; the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; and the changing attitudes of church officialdom and laity toward popular and non-western music styles.
Winner of the 1989 Award in Criticism from the Association for Mormon Letters
