The St. Olaf Choir was formed in 1911 by Dr. F Melius Christiansen, a Norwegian immigrant. So began a tradition of a cappella choral sacred music that remains strong and vital today. 23 pieces, such songs as Edward Elgar's 'Adagio,' Christiansen's 'Light Everlasting,' and 'The Song Of Peace,' Bartholdi's 'There Shall Be A Star,' Paulus' 'Pilgrim's Hymn,' Daniel Gawthrop's 'Mary Speaks,' Paul Lohman's 'What Child,' our friend Moses Hogan's arrangement of 'This Little Light of Mine,' Williams' 'Dona Nobis Pacem,' Hovland's 'Stay With Us' and 'Beautiful Savior.' The music is that of angels, and the focus of this wonderful CD is what the holiday is all about, the birth of Christ. Excellent!
