Sigrid Johnson conducts the Manitou Singers, comprised of 95 first-year female students at Northfield, Minnesota's St. Olaf College. The Singers have delighted audiences over the years with their beautiful and striking interpretations of treble choral literature. Included are Faure's "Tantum Ergo," Manz' "E'en So Lord Jesus," John Hilton's "Now Is The Summer Springing," How's "Lenten Litany," Jackson Berkey's "Gloria" and "Little Fire," "Leavitt's "Ubi Caritas," Scott's "Exaltation," de Victoria's "O Sacrum Convivium," "The Lone, Wild Bird," Mendelssohn's "Chanson et choeur de Fees" and Mulholland's "Heart We Will Forget Him." Piano accompaniment on most songs, but the beautiful voices of the young women are on center stage. Lovely and intricate music! |
