I'll take the transcript! How can you get it to me? Thank you!

I'd love a transcript if the offer still stands...Please kindly advise how I get it from you.

Probably the song of the daughters of triton.

@@jswatch9270 that's a smart observation

@@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB thanks

But it is a college, not a town like the Golden Girls show talked about

Vote For St Olaf Christmas Festival Say I !

So did my Mom! Love this!

I also grew up on this, but my dad's vhs copy is dying. Any chance you know a good place to find a replacement? Of either the video or just the music. Would make a great Christmas present.

I usually play it On Christmas eve .

Thank you so much for sharing this! My favorite St Olaf Christmas, too!

I am one of those fresh, and now 40-something, faces in that choir, and I do indeed look back on this with great pleasure and wonderful memories. And it warms my heart to know that it has given you such joy over the years, too. 🙏☺️🙏☺️ I’m sure I’m biased, but 1997 is my all-time favorite Christmas Fest, too, even among my four years at St. Olaf (1997-2001).

@@kirsten879 There’s a moment in “What SweeterMusic” (27:10-27:15) where the choir conductor encourages the altos. It sums up what teaching and leadership are all about. The joy on his face is a delight to behold as his altos come through with real oomph. Love it.

@@ToledoWingNut Ahh, yes, that’s Dr. Robert Scholz, affectionately known to students as Dr. Bob. I was in his Chapel Choir for two years (the red-robed singers he was directing for What Sweeter Music), and have many good memories of that time. He was a wonderful teacher and composer. Sadly, he passed away in early 2021. Alas, we also lost Sigrid Johnson earlier this year, who conducted the women’s choir, Manitou Singers, which I was part of in 1997. Dr. John Ferguson (former conductor of Cantorei, the group in the shepherd’s robes) has been retired for a while, but is still doing well as far as I know. Dr. Steven Amundson retired just this past spring as conductor of the St. Olaf Orchestra, and of course Dr. Anton Armstrong is still going strong at the helm of the St. Olaf Choir (purple robes).

@@kirsten879 Thanks for all the info, Kirsten. I was aware of Dr. Scholz’s passing but hadn’t heard of Mrs. Johnson’s death. May they both Rest In Peace. My wife and I were lucky enough to hear the St. Olaf Choir, under Dr. Armstrong’s direction, when they appeared at Yale in February of 2020. They did not disappoint. Choral music has been one of the joys of my life, both as a participant in high school and over several decades as a lover of the art form. Thank you for the part you played in one of the most special performances in my memory bank.
