Tabernacle Choir goes literally to the river to sing

When the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang "Let's go down to the river to pray," the choir literally went down to the river. And not just any river. This is the famous wide Missouri.

Choir members stood on the Iowa side of the river just across from Omaha, Neb., and sang "Down to the River" and "Amazing Grace" while being videotaped for a special program and other features.

The choir boarded buses and left their hotel at 6 a.m. Thursday to drive some 20 minutes to Progressive Park for the taping. The singers and crew were relieved that the weather wasn't as oppressively hot as it had been during a photo shoot at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Mo., on June 20.
