- Recorded at the 2011 Centennial Concert celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the founding of St. Olaf Choir by F. Melius Christiansen, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota.
This is an absolutely stunning piece. Well done, St Olaf! I have the privilege of singing this for a special diocesan celebration soon. It reminds me a lot of the 20th century British composer William Harris, specifically "Faire is the Heaven."
Oh my goodness I’ve watched so many St. Olaf choir videos, finding this beautiful video and live performance of your composition was truly renewing for my choral passion and absolute love for St. Olaf and Anton Armstrong.
This performance of this magnificent piece is truly Heaven on Earth!
Stylistically and genre wise- nothing but the best of Ben Allaways' Midwest Lutheran College Choir sound, musically beautiful and sensitivly interpreted and performed by Anton Armstrong and The St. Olaf Choir.True ear candy with intense heavenly angelic harmony that moves the blessed listener beyond goosebumps to a pleasant spiritual rest in the loving arms of Jesus. Mark S. T. Nelson Three time LutherCollege Messiah Orchestra Bass Trombone player.
Commissioned by my choir, Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir

Thank you for your nice comments. It was available on a DVD only, The Centennial Concert of the St. Olaf Choir, 2012 I believe but is sold out. You could look for it on amazon or other sites. St. Olaf Choir has many wonderful CDs in their online store. The Concordia Choir under René Clausen has made another fine recording of it, available here on a cd called The Worlds Above:
