About Product:
With a Song in Her Heart is a moving document of the life of Dr. Florence Jepperson Madsen, her character, personality, achievements, and the panorama which influenced her life.
With complete fidelity and beauty Mrs. Croft has painted a gallery of portraits of the artist's illustrious ancestors as they played their roles in the history of pioneer culture and provided a fertile domicile for the aesthetic growth of their progeny.
We follow the young musical genius from her home in the Rockies to eastern music-meccas, where she was acclaimed one of the nation's greatest singers. We sense her dedication to fostering the best in her art, and her devotion and unswerving loyalty to the Church, which gained for her the respect of musicians and critics, near and far.
We read of her long years of teaching at Brigham Young University, representing an extensive history of the vocal department of that institution, and of her service with the General Board of Relief Society and Singing Mothers, which has influenced the timbre of music in the stakes throughout the world.
Through these pages, we gain insight into the tonal color of, and the backdrop for, her many compositions, now receiving international recognition.
