So many of us who celebrate Pioneer Day are musicians who are often asked to find – or teach – something appropriate to commemorate the 1847 beginning of the LDS Pioneer companies arriving in the Salt Like Valley. This book is filled with musical arrangements that fit the bill. You’ll find all kinds of songs you know and love and several you may not have heard yet. Need the original Nauvoo setting for “Praise to the Man?” It’s here. How about a hauntingly beautiful sailing tune for William W. Phelps’ hymn so popular with the English emigrants, “The Gallant Ship is Under Way?” Several ‘new’ songs are poems written by Eliza R. Snow on the trail, set to tunes the pioneers could easily have known – and that you’ll have fun learning and teaching.

Whether you are looking for a tune to sing at a campfire with cowboy chords on your guitar, or for a collection of unique hymns for a full-blown fireside presentation by a variety of soloists and ensembles, this book is for you.
