Choirs associated with Midwestern Lutheran Colleges are known for their excellence in a cappella singing and for their perfection in all aspects of choral interpretation.

Great Hymns of Faith The St. Olaf (College) Choir is the pioneer a cappella choir in the United States. For more than a century, since F. Melius Christiansen founded this college’s music program in 1903, the St. Olaf Choir has set a standard of choral excellence and remained at the forefront of choral artistry. Under the direction of Anton Armstrong, this choir continues to develop this rich tradition.

Although the choir has produced many excellent recordings, two recent CDs mark the first time the group has produced entire recordings of common hymns. One or both of these CDs would make an excellent gift for the person who truly appreciates the beauty of well-performed choral works or one who delights in hearing familiary humns.
