#14 "Sweet Is the Peace the Gospel Brings"

This relatively unknown hymn has a lot of meaning to me. In September of 1975, I auditioned for the "Southern California Mormon Choir" and this was the song that the director, Frederick Davis, asked me to sight-read. I must have done fine because I was accepted as a member of the choir at age 17. I sang with the choir until June 1977, when I went off to BYU.

I next re-auditioned for the choir with the director, Frank Turner, in March 2007, and was accepted as a member. I have many wonderful memories of singing with the choir. Gary and I especially enjoyed our tour to Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Germany, and Austria in July 2007. I took a "leave of absence" from the choir in June of 2010, but haven't returned yet.
