  • The Secularization of the Repertoire of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, 1949-1992
    THE SECULARIZATION OF THE REPERTOIRE OF THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR, 1949-1992 Mark David Porcaro A dissertation submitted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music (Musicology) Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Thomas Warburton Reader: Severine Neff Reader: Philip Vandermeer Reader: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Reader: Jocelyn Neal © 2006 Mark David Porcaro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARK PORCARO: The Secularization of the Repertoire of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, 1949-1992 (Under the direction of Thomas Warburton) In 1997 in the New Yorker, Sidney Harris published a cartoon depicting the “Ethel Mormon Tabernacle Choir” singing “There’s NO business like SHOW business...” Besides the obvious play on the names of Ethel Merman and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the cartoon, in an odd way, is a true-to-life commentary on the image of the Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle Choir (MTC) in the mid-1990s; at this time the Choir was seen as an entertainment ensemble, not just a church choir. This leads us to the central question of this dissertation, what changes took place in the latter part of the twentieth century to secularize the repertoire of the primary choir for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)? In the 1860s, when the MTC began, its sole purpose was to perform for various church meetings, in particular for General Conference of the LDS church which was held in the Tabernacle at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. From the beginning of the twentieth century and escalating during the late 1950s to the early 1960s, the Choir’s role changed from an in-house choir for the LDS church to a choir that also fulfilled a cultural and entertainment function, not only for the LDS church but also for the American public at large.

The primary subject being considered is the Eliza R. Snow building on Ricks College campus acquires the Ruffatti pipe organ and the music enthusiasts of the entire Upper Snake River Valley should come to enjoy a zenith of music, love, and appreciation. It’s my opportunity this 14th day of January, 1984 to be in the home of Brother and Sister Darwin and Julie Wolford who are involved with the faculty, music faculty, of Ricks College. And we are going to be considering the primary subject just mentioned. First of all, Mrs. Wolford, will you indicate for the record when and where you were born and a little something about your background, just a rather brief statement. How you came to Ricks maybe to Rexburg. If you want you can either make a little comment about how you met Darwin. JW: Okay. I was born in Salt Lake City in 1950 and at age four moved to Missoula, Montana where I grew up. I’m the oldest of four children. I come from a very musical family. My mother plays the violin, studied with the Roy Robertson and teaches violin and all of the children in our family are very musical, playing violin, cello, and piano.
