THIS WEEK

This week's Art as Exegesis is devouted to Lutheran College choral music.  The selected schools are from the midwestern United States, and each owes much to the work of F. Melius Christianson and his St. Olaf Choirs.  Your editor's exuse for making this presentation is nostalga, he is a graduate of Waldorf College and, though he is neither a Lutheran nor a musician-was in some ways "formed"  by that tradition.  As these schools begin to prepare for the new school year, he wishes to honor that tradition.
