Did you bother to listen to the performance? It would be just super duper if you did. Here's a link.

Regarding Kolob...
Why do the Mormons sing a hymn called "If You Could Hie to Kolob?"
Is god's home planet so far away that a rest stop at Kolob is necessary? Is Kolob an overflow area or a place where those who made the Celestial Kingdom can visit their less-worthy loved ones. Maybe it's the equivalent of a temple visitor's center where the unclean wait while their children who accepted the gospel in the afterlife get married.
This little ditty is in the Mormon hymn book. We didn't sing it often, but I do remember singing it in sacrament meeting.
