Joel, this song brings back memories of my high school days in Acapella
Choir, mid 50's, and we did this as part of the Nativity
scene.........soloist was always the key, and the girls would pray that the
great one's had a cold during the tryouts......thanks for posting this.....
Hello SubDuLou Poster, Thanks for visiting and commenting, and--you're
welcome! Fun and gratifying putting these posts up--such great music. I
attended the concert where this was sung--never forgot it. Best Regards,

Thank you for posting this song. My father is a Concordia College alumnus,
1949. He was a member of the choir under Paul J, and played QB for Jake C
and lived at his house while in school. We did so many of Paul J's and F
Melius Christiansens works in our high school choir im Mayville and
Mayville Portland High School ND. The music memories are wonderful. I don't
know your time at Concordia, but possible you knew Roger Kolsrud. Merry
Christmas
And a Merry Christmas to you too, Kolzie1! Thanks for visiting, and
commenting. I'm a '60, non singer, but (obviously) love this music. No, I
didn't know Roger. Amazing that your dad lived at (legendary coach) Jake's
home--wonder if they discussed football strategies. Small world. Best
Regards and Wishes for 2013, David
Glad you enjoyed this, Joel! Just a great, lilting piece. Best Regards,
David

Emily, we are not planning to be there. Sorry! I was back some years ago
and sang with the alums when Foelber was still there. A great experience.
Blessings to you and others who will sing. I am still singing with our tiny
(10-voice) church choir!
Watching this brought memories of singing this piece in the Concordia (Ann
Arbor) choir back in the sixties under Paul Foelber. Thank you for posting
it. Nicely done!
