The Sound of Mormonism  is an annotated and expanded version of the 2023 lecture "Music & the Unspoken Truth"-an homage to the  Music and the Spoken Word  radio program and a meditation on the relationships between religion, music, vocality, and quietude. The Arrington Lecture series, established in honor of one of the twentieth-century American West's most distinguished historians, Leonard Arrington, has become a leading forum for prominent scholars to address topics related to Latter-day Saint history. Utah State University hosts the Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture Series through the Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives.
