\"\"<\/a>From NPR<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[Yesterday] the Library of Congress and Sony Music Entertainment announced the launch of what\u2019s being billed as \u201cthe largest collection of historical recordings ever made publicly available online.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new website provides access to more than 10-thousand historical recordings for free on a streaming-only basis \u2013 no downloads. It covers the first quarter of the twentieth century and includes music, poetry, political speeches and other spoken word recordings. Right now, it only includes recordings made by the Victor Talking Machine Company, which Sony controls.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I first started in on the negro spirituals<\/a>, but decided to give \u201cmormon\u201d a try. It takes us to a song by Evan Stephens called \u201cLet the Mountains Shout for Joy<\/a>.\u201d It was recorded Sept. 17, 1923 in Camden, New Jersey. The recording is not the Tabernacle Choir, however, it is a mixed quarter including Elsie Baker<\/a>. The notes from the Library of Congress listing say:<\/p>\n

Evan Stephens was the director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Disc label notes: \u201cWords from the scripture \u2014 Evan Stephens. Favorite Latter-Day Saints anthem as sung in Tabernacle, Salt Lake City. Authorized version.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is interesting, it seems there was a recording made of this same song featuring the entire choir in early September 1920 in Salt Lake<\/a>. This recording was made in September 1923 in Jersey on a different label, which explains why it is in the collection and the former recordings are not.<\/p>\n

The other song is \u201cO My Father.\u201d The disc label says \u201cFavorite Latter-Day Saints anthem as sung in Tabernacle, Salt Lake City. Authorized version.\u201d The lead vocal is a baritone.<\/p>\n
