St. Olaf Choir and Orchestra - Climb To The Top Of The Highest Mountain

[alger3041]

This is the most stunningly beautiful piece of music I've heard in awhile. (My tears flow when I hear it.)

I would hope that our various choral societies would include it in their regular repertoire.

Too bad about the sound quality. There are several other versions on YouTube, I am noting, but this is the original performance, and so should claim pride of place.

The composer apparently is the wife of the choral director. All kudos to her for such a magnificent conception!

This was in 1989, right at the end of Dr Jennings' tenure as director of the St Olaf Choir.

The sweet dude with the stylin specs at 0:41 is my college choir director. Magnificent.

One of my all time favorites, did not know there was a video to this thanks for posting.

This has got to be from around 1975 or so....is this correct??

What a great memory to see Dr Jennings conducting here. As a longtime follower of the St Olaf Choir, this is a rare gift. Thanks for posting. What year was this?
