Thanks to Marsha for this post, where she shares some of the musical messages that inspired her in the recent October 2010 General Conference sessions. All of this music can be heard on the General Conference music page. You can also find the full text and sheet music for each song at the lds.org music site.

Many, many things in General Conference inspired me. There were so many hallmark talks that I notated at least a half dozen to study further. What I did this morning however, was a short recap of all the MUSIC. It was incredible how the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has grown and the sound they now produce. I loved the messages, and in a short-hand, capsulized some of my favorite messages in the songs.
