The Tabernacle Choir of Salt Lake City, perhaps the largest and certainly the best-known American choir, is celebrating the 5,000th broadcast of its radio program “Music and the Spoken Word.”
Ruth Graham, writing for The New York Times, notes that the 30-minute show’s format “not only has endured since 1929, but almost as remarkably, has barely changed. There’s the announcer’s gentle welcome, a three-minute inspirational message and a handful of hymns performed by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, formerly and still better known as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.”
No Richmond station currently broadcasts the program, which is aired on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time. It can be accessed at http://www.thetabernaclechoir.org/music-and-the-spoken-word-weekly-broadcast and via various music-streaming services. The choir’s website also archives past episodes.
