More about Kathryn Latour:
I studied piano beginning at age 8 and my best skill is sight reading. I have had vocal instruction and have sung in church, university, and performance choirs since age 12. I received conducting training and subsequently led youth choirs, a semi professional adult choir, and a university choir. Because of the need for certain suitable music, I have had to arrange music for my choirs and have learned how to compose as a result. I still do a great deal of accompanying (on piano and organ) and leading choirs.
Song background:

There are not many choir songs for morhers. I set the poem by Helen Steiner Rice to my own composition and have dedicated this to my own angel mother, Jedda Monson.

Lyrics: A mother’s love is something that no one can explain;
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain;
It is endless and unselfish and enduring, come what may,
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking.
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems.

It is far beyond defining; it defies all explanation.
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation.
A many splendored miracle man cannot understand,
And another wondrous evidence of God’s [great] guiding hand.
