The Economist: “Why some religions, like the Mormons, sing”

This article was, no doubt, occasioned by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s participation in the 2017 presidential inauguration:

The Choir’s performance on the steps of the Capitol yesterday, whatever one thinks of the decision to perform or (for that matter) of Mr. Trump, brought international attention to both the Choir and the Church.  I haven’t gone looking for evidence of such attention, but I haven’t had to:  The Economist is a British magazine.  And, last night, I re-watched the Choir’s performance online — in what turned out to be footage from Norwegian television’s coverage of the inauguration.  There couldn’t possibly have been a more prominent place for the Choir than where it was, standing on center stage, occupying the few minutes between the swearing-in of the Vice President and the swearing-in of the President.
