St. Olaf Choir

The St. Olaf Choir is the a cappella choir of St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota. Officially founded in 1912 by music faculty member F. Melius Christiansen as the St. Olaf Lutheran Choir, it was originally an outgrowth of the local St. John's Lutheran Church, where Christiansen was organist. The St. Olaf Choir is a pioneer of a cappella singing in the United States, born out of Christiansen's appreciation of the style he studied while at Thomasschule in Leipzig, Germany, where J. S. Bach had been Capellmeister over a century earlier.
