For Emmy award-winning actress Jane Seymour, performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for last year's Christmas concert felt like being "part of a big family."
"It was awesome," Seymour told
the Deseret News. "The choir was so wonderful. They were all lovely
people and enthusiastic to be there. There's just a joy and a sense of
collaboration of all the people involved."
During the performance,
Seymour was the narrator for "Good King Wenceslas." The story she read
has recently been published by Deseret Book, and she will be in Salt
Lake City for two book signings on Nov. 26.
Seymour talked in depth about her admiration for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
"I think it's just a
remarkable organization," Seymour said. "The fact that everyone there is
donating and committing their time and efforts for such a long time is
pretty extraordinary and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The
quality of their musicianship is exceptional. They really are a choir
rather than just a large number of good voices."
At Deseret Book, Seymour will be signing "Good King Wenceslas" along with other products from the 2011 Christmas performance.
"I am very excited to come to
Salt Lake," she said. "'Good King Wenceslas' is a fantastic story, and
I'm sure people are going to love it. I'm very happy to meet everyone
and sign books for them.
"The message of 'Good King
Wenceslas' is a powerful one. Regardless of faith, I think it's a
beautiful message about bringing joy to those who have less by giving
them more. It's a very special story for me."
Included at the beginning of
the book is a piece of artwork created by Seymour, along with an added
bonus Seymour was not aware of until her last book signing.
"No one told me that they had
the artist paint the queen as me," she said. "They took a photograph of
me and turned it into an element of surprise, which is pretty cool."
