Your Voice

This week on our Morning Glories, we explore the land of 10,000 choirs... and in just five days, it's only a handful of the best.

St. Paul, Minn. — Monday features a classic from The Dale Warland Singers: Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, a performance that will leave you speechless.

Tuesday, the St. Olaf Choir sings Mozart's Missa Brevis.

Wednesday, The Singers give us an unearthly rendition of Morten Lauridsen's Mid-Winter Songs.

It's off to Iowa and Luther College on Thursday with Stephen Paulus' Luther Mass and Friday, highlights from an extravaganza with Eric Whitacre — the rock star of the choral world — and VocalEssence.
