Utah, This is the Place

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Utah, This is the Place is the state song of Utah. It was written in 1996 by Sam and Gary Francis for Utah's centennial celebrations. It replaced Utah, We Love Thee as the state song in 2003 after 4th grade students at Cook Elementary wanted a "More modern state song". They talked to their local representative, Dana Love (R-Syracuse) and she drafted up a bill that passed with the legislators on 2003-02-28, and was signed by then Utah Governor Michael O. Leavitt on 2003-03-15. Listen to Utah, This is the Place (MP3). The previous song, Utah, We Love Thee became the State Hymn. *See both songs side by side.

This song was placed in the public domain by the composers when it was made the state song of Utah. However, the composer did not make an arrangement available to the public without charge.[1]

Official Bill to change the state song, House bill 223 from the 2003 General Legislative Session
