The Book of Gold (2005)

The Joseph Smith Bicentennial in 2005 birthed countless new works, from meticulous scholarship to vivid new paintings and poems. The greatest of that year, though, was this opera. Experiencing it live was, indeed, a revelation. Till a revival of the work arrives, this hard-to-find recording helps document it. I post it here for archival, educational, and scholarly purposes. (No rights to the work by me implied.)
Written by Glen Nelson & Murray Boren, starring Darrell Babidge & Jennifer Welch Babidge, Ariel Bybee, and many other musicians of note.
