Album Title: once Upon A Christmas Composer: Various Artist, Traditional, Franz Xaver Gruber, Felix Bernard, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Audio CD (September 25, 2012)
Customer Reviews Exciting and joyful yet tender and emotional like Christmas should be. It's a pretty good album with excellent arrangements on Christmas favorites and classical music all sung and performed by amazing singers and a fabulous orchestra! Nathan Gunn and Jane Seymour are awesome and they definitely make this another classic album for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Mack Wilberg. Is becoming already some of my new holiday favorites!!! Also, great to hear how the story of Good King Wenceslas really happened. by cggard

Good King Wenceslas For the historical figure, see Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia.
"Good King Wenceslas" is a popular Christmas carol that tells a story of Good King Wenceslas braving harsh winter weather to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (the second day of Christmas, December 26). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by following the king's footprints, step for step, through the deep snow. The legend is based on the life of the historical Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia or Svatý Václav in Czech (907–935). In 1853, English hymnwriter John Mason Neale wrote the "Wenceslas" lyrics, in collaboration with his music editor Thomas Helmore, and the carol first appeared in Carols for Christmas-Tide, 1853. Neale's lyrics were set to a tune based on a 13th-century spring carol "Tempus adest floridum" ("The time is near for flowering") first published in the 1582 Finnish song collection Piae Cantiones. 출처: 위키피디아
Mormon Tabernacle Choir Biography The Mormon Tabernacle Choir made their public debut on August 22, 1847, just 29 days after Brigham Young and his 147 followers first settled in the Salt Lake Valley. John Parry was named the choir's first official conductor in 1849, and two years later, construction was completed on the first Tabernacle church, followed in 1867 by the dome-roofed Tabernacle facility which still exists. The 150-member choir assembled for the facility's October 6th opening was at that time the largest in the U.S., their voices accompanied by a mammoth organ featuring some 2000 pipes. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir made its first official recordings for Columbia on September 1, 1910; their weekly radio broadcast, Music and the Word, premiered on CBS affiliate KSL on September 15, 1932, and continues to air, enjoying the longest uninterrupted network run in American history. In 1959, the choir's recording of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" earned a Grammy, followed over the years by a number of gold and platinum records; the latter-day Mormon Tabernacle Choir counts 300 members and continues to record and tour on a regular basis.
