Wilberg is wonderful, especially as an arranger and a conducter. A great person as well.
I was in the BYU Music program in the early 1990s. I was in several of the Wilberg concerts and productions(although I can't remember about the fall 1993 for sure) in both Concert Choir & Men's Chorus(as an instrumentalist). I guess that I got on his 'list' and he kept calling me.
Also worth checking out is the 'Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns' cd that came from a musical production that was filmed at BYU for PBS in April 1994.

It premiered around Thanksgiving time that year.
Some great arrangements of Church Hymns & Folk Music.
Since then BYU Choirs have released many good recordings.
