Historic Visit to Nauvoo, Mormon Tabernacle Choir

For more than a century and a half, the city once known as "Nauvoo the Beautiful" and its temple lay in ruins. Today, a new temple stands in the restored city of Nauvoo, rebuilt by a generation who hasn1t forgotten the sacrifices of its ancestors. Historic Visit to Nauvoo includes songs of praise and patriotism recorded by the 360-voice Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the steps of the newly dedicated Nauvoo Illinois Temple. Selections include stirring renditions of "The Spirit of God Like a Fire Is Burning," "Come, Come Ye Saints," and "America the Beautiful." Moving commentary by Lloyd Newell, announcer of Music and the Spoken Word, along with interviews with temple craftsmen and construction workers, and a guest performance by Enoch Train provide background and flavor to this historic, unforgettable musical event.

Exclusive on DVD are scenes from the groundbreaking, cornerstone, and coverstone ceremonies, as well as footage from President Hinckley's press conference in Nauvoo.
