Visions of Light and Truth – A Sacred Music Oratorio
March 21, 2020
In the manner of Handel’s Messiah, join the Department of Music from Brigham Young University – Idaho as they perform Visions of Light and Truth, a sacred music oratorio commemorating the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith’s First Vision. Composed by A. Laurence Lyon, the work combines the richness of melodies, the eloquence of soloists, the harmony of full orchestration, the fullness of collegiate choirs, and the spirit of a sacred message. In Lyon’s words, “Joseph Smith was not the first and only prophet to have a vision regarding the Father and the Son. In fact, his vision fits the pattern of so many prophets, as revealed in the scriptures.� The First Vision “initiated the Restoration of the Lord’s gospel—an unfolding Restoration that continues today.� (President Russell M. Nelson) Enjoy this musical and spiritual event as part of your preparation for a historical and unforgettable General Conference. Free event. No tickets required.
