Yes, Dr. Arnold conducted this. Weston Noble used to conduct Nordic Choir but retired a couple years ago. Dr. Peter conducts Norseman and Collegiate.

The first Lutherans were more like reformed Catholics than Protestants - they had the Mass, and gorgeous music like this. Thank God the gorgeous music is still around!

I wonder why we fight about worship? Every time I do a survey, it is the music people are passionate about. What do you think God thinks about it? I was taught that when music is done with integrity and to the glory of God, it is right and good. that being said, this is sublime.

just watched some LDS hymns and they suck really suck compared to this. I only looked them up because the organ pieces are pretty simple and I am looking for simple organ pieces without pedal.

Seeing this vid was the perfect way to end today October 31, 2011 which is the anniversary of the date Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses to the door of that very church.  Oh how I'd love to see it some day and churches associated with Bach as well.

@Hailstone47 The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
