Augsburg Fortress

This classic hymn arrangement by F. Melius Christiansen starts with a single vocal line and grows into a triumphant 8-voice contrapuntal texture that ends with a glorious “Hallelujah!” Originally published in 1919, this edition reflects the musical and textual changes as sung by the St. Olaf Choir under the direction of Olaf C. Christiansen, Kenneth Jennings, and Anton Armstrong, including a new keyboard reduction. A brilliant and enduring anthem especially appropriate at Easter or any occasion of overflowing praise. The new edition is compatible with the vocal score of the original edition.
