I enjoyed your program tonight as I have enjoyed many other of your programs. I would like to know the name and the performance information and recording information of the final choral piece on the Pipedreams program of 8/1/10. Did the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performe if? Thank you in advance for your help with this.
