St. Olaf is home to 3,000 students from nearly every state in the country and more than 80 countries and offers 85-majors, concentrations, and academic programs. For more than half a century, St. Olaf students have taken advantage of international and off-campus study programs — including in Norway — that offer profound, life-changing experiences. Living and studying abroad is fundamental to understanding other cultures and perspectives and to becoming an educated citizen in a changing world. go.stolaf.edu I 1874 ble St. Olaf College grunnlagt av norske lutherske immigranter, og er i dag en høyt ansett liberal arts college. Skolen ligger i Northfield, Minnesota, ca 70 kilometer sør for tvillingbyene; Minneapolis og St. Paul, som er den største metropolen i den nordlige delen av midtvesten. St. Olaf huser 3,000 studenter fra nesten samtlige amerikanske stater, mer enn 80 land, og kan tilby over 85 ulike typer bachelorprogrammer og fagkonsentrasjoner. I nesten 50 år har St. Olaf studenter hatt stort utbytte av å ta del i internas- jonale utvekslingsprogrammer — blant annet i Norge — som skaper meningsfulle opplevelser og minner for livet.

  • GIVE ME HUNGER by Jake Runestad
    JR0069 Jake Runestad GIVE ME HUNGER SATB choir (divisi) Music jakerunestad.com Text At a Window Carl Sandburg Give me hunger, O you gods that sit and give The world its orders. Give me hunger, pain and want, Shut me out with shame and failure From your doors of gold and fame, Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger! But leave me a little love, A voice to speak to me in the day end, A hand to touch me in the dark room Breaking the long loneliness. In the dusk of day-shapes Blurring the sunset, One little wandering, western star Thrust out from the changing shores of shadow. Let me go to the window, Watch the day-shapes of dusk And wait and know the coming Of a little love. Performance Time c. 5:30 About the Work Commissioned by a consortium of collegiate choirs including: Iowa State University (James Rodde), Michigan State University (David Rayl), Millikin University (Brad Holmes), Texas Tech University (Rick Bjella), & the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point (Lucinda Thayer).

Since the very first season our goal has been to offer a rich and wide variety of choral music from the past and present—and that will certainly be true this year! We open in October with Dreams of the Fallen, our salute to American Veterans, a program that will include music of the past (Vaughan Williams, Hanson, Barber and Canteloube) and the present (Hagen, Dessa and Runestad), sung by our combined VocalEssence Chorus & Ensemble Singers. With our friends from the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, this promises to be a glorious way to begin another great year. I am very pleased that for November’s VocalEssence Presents: Voz en Punto, the sensational vocal sextet from Mexico will make their Minnesota debut at the new Ordway Concert Hall. This ensemble is celebrating their 25th anniversary and is regarded as one of Mexico’s musical treasures—and for good reason, as you will hear! December brings us an old favorite, Welcome Christmas, giving us an opportunity to hear some of the beloved carols and hymns of the season (this year with a “big band”) as well as continuing our search for new carols through our Carol Contest— this year, music for voices and solo trumpet. You never know what that will bring! Everyone loves to sing at Christmas, so there will be plenty of opportunities for the audience to join the singers and our big band! We also will offer ourStar of Wonder concert for children of all ages (up to 100).
