"Most of the early settlers of Utah had been accustomed to the refinements of civilized and cultured life. As soon as practical after their arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, music and the arts were encouraged-not only in Salt Lake City, but in every community that was later established. Brigham Young, in his wisdom, knew that his people needed more than food, clothing and the bare necessities of life; they needed music, drama and entertainment that would stimulate and bring refreshment to their lives." [Author] This chapter records the history and development of early bands and leaders within the Mormon community.
