The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square present "The Heavens Are Telling" from The Creation by Franz Josef Haydn. Episode 4355. March 3, 2013
I’ve been fortunate to sing the part of Raphael three times over the years in my church’s choir. During these pandemic times, it’s been fun to sing along with the Choir on this and other choral works. May the day soon come where COVID is just a memory and choirs can safely gather once again to sing praise to the Lord.
I had the honor and privilege to sing the Tenor part on this beautiful anthem back in 2003 at the National Baptism Convention the choirs prepared for months for that concert I was only 13yrs old
Make a long story, our high school choir won citywide competition for singing this song and How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place by Brahms. It was o ly 20 of us and the judges laughed how would we as a choir of twenty could this song meant for a choir of eighty, we wound up singing it aczpella because the piano our choir director, Mr, Archie Brown, who was our accompanist, could no longer play because the piano became and sticking together so we wound up singing g, in harmony and tempo. We were the first at Forrestville Highschool to City wide for the best chorus. I was 16 years old and will never forget that day. Sorry for my grammatical errors. But you get the point. We had no support from anyone in our high school hool, even the judges laughed at us. We took that First place trophy back to school to let everyone know that we were Champions! I will never forget our choir director, Mr. Archie Brown! We were students of Forrestville High school on the Southside of Chicago , also known as the ghetto. He graduated from DePaul U I ersity with a Masters Degree, an accomplished pianist, who took time to teach us about music, Our choir was televised in 1970 on WGN Christmas program. We even went to Nassau in the Bahama Island for five days and our choir sang at every school because someone at their school board had heard about us. We were a small choir with an extremely talented teacher who took us to places we would never have imagined to go. We never nominated him for an Apple Award for the best teacher because we had never heard of it but, to all of us He will always be the apple of our eyes with resounding love ! Marion Hunter.
I was fortunate to have been reared in a medium sized church that possessed an extraordinary choir and strong liturgical music program. I remember as a child the very first time I heard them sing this and the words brought tears to my eyes. It still does and the Tabernacle trio is such a beautiful vocal blend. Thank you. MOJ
I was also privileged to grow up in a church with this type of music ,including gospel spirituals and hymns.Sadly to say this lacking in a lot of churches of today.
The sound of the Choir is so much more vibrant and crystal clear in the acoustics of the Tabernacle as compared to the new Conference Center where they often perform nowadays. The pioneers knew what they were doing!
People of God can you please help me to go nd join in this choir my heart really want to sing in this choir with my entire life anyone who touched to help me please help me I want to join this group
I too NEVER tire of this! Indeed I remember when I first heard it in church as a very young child. Its words evoke my profound belief in the essence of Jehovah and It’s Power, to evoke ever greater belief! Praise The Lord, Hallelujah! MOJ
The first time I heard this work was with the Benemerito de las Americas Choir (highschool of LDS Church in Mexico City, now Missionary center). It was quite an experience, I never had the chance to sing it... but the Lord is letting me a few days more here on earth, so, Maybe I´ll have the chance
Too…bland. I’m usually a fan of the Tabernacle choir…but it was a little…unseasoned. This piece from my understanding is literally about the Heavens proclaiming about the glories of God and his creation and it didn’t sound exciting. Those countermelodies and rhythms toward the end of the pieces didn’t stand out enough. It was too homogeneous. After the last part of the trip, everything should be leading up to the last proclamation , “DISPLAYS THE FIRMAMENT”. But that’s my interpretation of the piece!
Me desculpem, mas o regente antigo do coral era muito melhor que o atual. Até o repertório o coral era mais rico, e a qualidade nas peças também. Craig, saudades.
So calm and so brave at the right places!!!!!!! Perfect performance!!! What a simple and, at same time, stylish version!!!!!!!! The tenor soloist is so so so perfect!
Nice, but somewhat plodding. To hear this work as envisioned by Haydn, search for "Haydn - Die Schöpfung - Die Himmel erzählen", sung in the original German, at a quicker tempo.
Yes, it's a bit on the slow side … the choir sometimes seems behind the conductor, and the organist seems to slow it down a little more on the moments he plays alone. The choir jumps on the T at the end of "firmament" but you never hear the K on "work." Too bad. It's such a great piece! We're doing it this Sunday (5/5/19) at Westwood United Methodist Church in Los Angeles … and yes, at a slightly brighter tempo.
This epic is such an amazing craft Nairobi diocese class apex this very song is our set piece 1. As a tenor guy am loving this song even i find myself singing all time..LOVE IT
My High School choirs are doing this piece, along with the Wilhousky Battle Hymn, and How Lovely is the dwelling place, with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra April 18th. This choir does all of these pieces, very well if i may add.
This song,Oh reminds me of my days back at College of Education,Warri ,1984, when I sang in the school, choir,with my Music Lecturer,Dr A A Ogisi who was also the chief Organist
I don't really identify as Christian. And I'm not really into the Mormon's. BUT, the 'Mormon Tabernacle Choir' is AMAZING AND I LOVE Joseph 'Papa' Haydn! Just listen to this beautiful rendition of 'The Heaven's Are Telling' from his 'Creation'. Superb music, and superb musicianship! No wonder Christians get excited! 😱 P.S. When I went to Teachers college 30 years ago and did my major in music, we had to be part of the choir and we had to perform 'The Heavens are Telling' in our final year. I've loved it ever since! P.P.S. Fun Fact: I LOVE the fact that when the self-absorbed Napoleon invaded Vienna in 1809, Haydn was such a respected figure across Europe that two of Napoleon's sentries were put on guard so that he wouldn't have to move in his old age.
All three members of the trio are very good, but the tenor is spectacular, effortlessly rendering a sound worthy of the glory of God that is the subject of this piece. What's his name?
I am thankful that I live here in the Salt Lake Area and go to hear the choir personally. I have friends who have sung with the choir and friends who sing now with the choir. I know the person who books the guest singers for the choir too.
Oh yeah? My cousin is married to a lady whose grandmother met a guy one time whose brother had flown over Salt Lake City at the exact moment the choir was performing. This guy also had a friend with the same first name as the conductor.
So lovely and well sung. I was very musical as a child and learned the piano but our school had no choir here in the UK. Then went away to university and joined a choir and sang and sang and sang, in he UK and abroad. This is one of the first pieces we sang at university in 1979 and I still know it to this day (and still sing every day).
Si calme et si courageux aux bons endroits !Prestation parfaite !Quelle version simple et, en même temps, élégante ! Le soliste ténor est tellement parfait ! Le son de la chorale est tellement plus vibrant et cristallin.
I'll just gonna share to you guys what happened lately, we sang that song individually 😂, my voice cracked up in the whole campus HAHAHAH but I got perfect score! amazing right?😂 HAHAHAHAHAH p.s. I am really amazed how they sang that song❤ Great!
They are clearly an excellent choir. The only drawbacks for me is that I don't like the way they dress, a bit tacky, and I think their American accents take the edge of the power of the words, especially the lead tenor, or perhaps it's because they don't have male trebles which really are the powerhouse.

This hymn makes my spine tingle, my spirit soar and my soul roar in praise to the A-l-m-i-g-h-t-y YAHWEH!!!!
The music is wonderful but I think it should have been sung in German. Always sounds better in it's original language.
How can anyone criticize this wonderful piece of choral excellence? Wonderful.
Me and my Late brother and my Late Mom's favorite hym .
This song Blesses me!!!

That is a great story. Your group had a lot to be proud of.
Big Up to St. Cecilia (Laikipia Air Base) for their amazing performance on this song in 2019

Grace. The Tenors rendition of his part...so effortlessly done...God bless!!
The very best choir on the planet! And I love this choral work
How fortunate I am to listen to such heavenly music. I'm blessed. I thank God for giving you such sweet voices. God bless you.
The sound of the Choir is so much more vibrant and crystal clear in the acoustics of the Tabernacle as compared to the new Conference Center where they often perform nowadays. The pioneers knew what they were doing!
My friends and teachers in Indonesia said that mormon is a bad church. But now I know on youtube that their classical choir is the best. Excellent
People of God can you please help me to go nd join in this choir my heart really want to sing in this choir with my entire life anyone who touched to help me please help me I want to join this group
This video brings back the joyous emotion of choral performance, back in the days when I could,
beautiful sound, both choir and soloists :)
I have been fortunate enough to sing this in my choir.

We sang this for my graduation from high school in 1971, had another chance to sing it in a choir concert at my church in the 1990's!
Me and my cat sing this every night.
No choir performs this better. It is one of Haydn's masterpieces.
Pardon me if I envy those three soloists. (ENVYING.)
You must never have participated in this wonderful piece, it was performed properly.
Uplifting, inspiring!
Listen to (Haydn's creation - best - The heavens are telling the glory of God) sung by a brilliant South African Choir.
I did. The choir isn't bad, but the orchestra was not up to the task.
I think the choir has rendered this song perfectly. if it gets slow, it might be so odd.
Roland Nubiah I hate when it is rushed, also. This is perfect.
Awesome!
I think Angels sings this song in heaven...
Bravo Bravo - never get tired of listening to this

This epic is such an amazing craft Nairobi diocese class apex this very song is our set piece 1. As a tenor guy am loving this song even i find myself singing all time..LOVE IT
My high school choir sang this piece. C/O 76 💚💛
I’m old now and I can appreciate good music 🎶
Simply fantastic! Sang this with a community choir several years ago.Loved it then love it now!
Just the music, just the beauty, immensely lovely
This makes you appreciate the heavens in all of its glory!
I get goosebumps listening to this tune
hahaaaaaaa.....so do i.
you must be agood singer.
It is awesome.. by His Grace,my Choir will perform the book this year.
Mine as well. God bless.
Every time I listen to this song I whisper to God to bring me home that I may sing with the Angels. So weird that I cry while doing so....
My High School choirs are doing this piece, along with the Wilhousky Battle Hymn, and How Lovely is the dwelling place, with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra April 18th. This choir does all of these pieces, very well if i may add.
Jaden Karr Wish I could have seen it, had no idea the Youngstown Symphony had performed this as of late.
Dylan Kollat it's literally a year later but it was truly an awesome expierence. Got to do it last month too with Vivaldi's Gloria.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😭😭😭🔥
This song,Oh reminds me of my days back at College of Education,Warri ,1984, when I sang in the school, choir,with my Music Lecturer,Dr A A Ogisi who was also the chief Organist
I love to hear it all night even when I'm in bed...spiritual classic music which is very good for the soul
The Mormon Choir does this great Haydn masterpiece the best of any choir!
I've never heard this piece sung--or accompanied--so well...just gorgeous in every way. Thanks!
The Holy City
I don't really identify as Christian. And I'm not really into the Mormon's.
BUT, the 'Mormon Tabernacle Choir' is AMAZING AND I LOVE Joseph 'Papa' Haydn!
Just listen to this beautiful rendition of 'The Heaven's Are Telling' from his 'Creation'. Superb music, and superb musicianship!
No wonder Christians get excited! 😱
P.S. When I went to Teachers college 30 years ago and did my major in music, we had to be part of the choir and we had to perform 'The Heavens are Telling' in our final year. I've loved it ever since!

Wonderful
Very glad to listen

This masterwork is especially effective when beat in cut-time as done here, it really adds life to it
I am thankful that I live here in the Salt Lake Area and go to hear the choir personally. I have friends who have sung with the choir and friends who sing now with the choir. I know the person who books the guest singers for the choir too.
Oh yeah? My cousin is married to a lady whose grandmother met a guy one time whose brother had flown over Salt Lake City at the exact moment the choir was performing. This guy also had a friend with the same first name as the conductor.
I cant tell ehich one---either its uriel or Raphael-- (the middle voice in the trio) is the spitting image of out pastor!!!!
Perfect soloist combination
Beautiful sound, in memory of performances past, magnifies God's creations exceeding excellence. Thanks God for music
Et incarnatus est
So lovely and well sung. I was very musical as a child and learned the piano but our school had no choir here in the UK. Then went away to university and joined a choir and sang and sang and sang, in he UK and abroad. This is one of the first pieces we sang at university in 1979 and I still know it to this day (and still sing every day).
Beautiful sound, memorable for me in performance, magnifies God's creations exceeding excellence
this is the best, you can't ask for more

I'll just gonna share to you guys what happened lately, we sang that song individually 😂, my voice cracked up in the whole campus HAHAHAH but I got perfect score! amazing right?😂 HAHAHAHAHAH
p.s. I am really amazed how they sang that song❤ Great!
Beautiful song. It took ne back to the early 2000's
It's nice listen carefully in silence
What is the pitch/tonal system of this?
I have been fortunate to sing this song with my church choir
They are clearly an excellent choir. The only drawbacks for me is that I don't like the way they dress, a bit tacky, and I think their American accents take the edge of the power of the words, especially the lead tenor, or perhaps it's because they don't have male trebles which really are the powerhouse.
Ed O'Meara I completely agree, the tone is a bit to sharp at times
+Ed O'Meara What is a male treble?
+Gene Secor soprano.
does anyone have music sheet for this?
This remember me of my mother. 😢😢😢❤❤❤ ... I miss her...
I have once participated singing this beautiful song in a choral group and i love the message conveyed in this wonderful music piece.
Trio perfect, good music and well presented
You raise me up
This is one of my favorite! Haydn is the best!
It's grateful
BREATHE TAKING ❤🙏🙏👏👏👏
What a great Welsh choir.
I like the music ✋😅😅😅
Waawo amazing
It seems a tiny bit fast to me. A bit rushed.
Danke für die wunderschönen Gesänge.Einfach toll
Christel Rieckmann Rieckmann I have performed this piece many times. Takes a lot of practice Wonderful
Excellent rendition. Best I have found on the web so far. Great job, thanks!
I sang Gabriel’s part in the trio for our all county choir concert!! It was so fun ✨
THIS IS MY FAVORITE CHORUS EVER
