Few things are as powerful as men s voices united in song. Now that stirring sound has been captured by the men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a triumphant collection of music. This is the first album ever to feature exclusively the men of the Choir. Listeners of all ages will enjoy hearing the Choir s soaring tenors, rich baritones, and strong basses lend their voices to moving arrangements of popular songs like You Raise Me Up and Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel), alongside favorite hymns such as Beautiful Savior and Brightly Beams Our Father s Mercy.
