In front of me are two hymnbooks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One is the 1927 edition. It is 8″ x 5.5″. Its dark green bookcloth cover is embossed with the words Latter-day Saint Hymns and decorative scroll work of a harp and floral pattern. The front cover features a severe geometric border at its edges; the back cover has a small, round embossing of a harp at its center. It was published by the Deseret Book Company, copyrighted by Heber J. Grant, and printed by the Press of Zion’s Printing and Publishing Company. It is the hymnbook my parents grew up with.
The other hymnal will be familiar to anyone reading this newsletter. The 1985 book which includes 341 hymns, ending with God Save the King, sells for $16.95 for the coil-bound version I use at home. It has a blue-green cover with the word Hymns printed boldly in gold over an embossed relief of the Tabernacle organ pipes.
But enough of comparisons.
What will the hymnal of 2043 be like?

Mormoniana
16 Mormon composers were invited to participate in a collaborative project. The premise was simple: each composer was to select a visual artwork by an LDS artist and write a piano composition inspired by it. Together, the finished piano works form a new, 16-movement concert work for the piano. The resulting score, a celebration of LDS artists and composers, is titled Mormoniana. The volume includes the full score, a CD recording by legendary American pianist Grant Johannesen, an essay by Michael Hicks, an original artwork by Valerie Atkisson, and reproductions of all the artworks selected by the composers.
