and closing with the greatest of all
Norsk songs, Landkjending. This
number is not only the greatest Of
Norsk songs, but is probably the big
gest and heaviest male chorus number
sung today. The words are by
Bjornestene Bjornson, Norway's
greatest lyric poet. telling of the COM
ing Of Olaf. Norway's first king. The
musical setting, by Grieg, is wonder
full: the kings prayer-constituting a
baritone solo, he clothed in a vest
ment most profoundly sacred-and
the closing chorus-in which the en-
tire chorus as the kings host-en-
tones the prayer in unison with the
kings a burst Of melody and har-
mony that leaves an almost indeli-
BILE impression. William M. Nesheim
will sing the baritone solo in this
number, accompanied by the reed
section of the Concordia college band.

voice and it is safe to assume that he
will be heard at his best in this num-
Der. The society will be under the di-
rection Of o. /. Hertsgaard.
