| Summary: | The article explains why some Mormons get a weird feeling when singing the tenor part of the sacrament hymn, with the next tenor over singing the melody. It details how both kinds of congregational singing can be used compellingly, in and for different ways and reasons, the various roles of the choir and the congregation, and Joseph Smith's founding of a formal singing school early in 1836, which led to many more singing schools and other formal, Church-sponsored music training organizations. |
