The Lutheran Bible Institute
Class of 1965 50th Year Reunion


At this time, in addition to six pieces of music from three 78 RPM records (see below), we have forty pieces of music available for download from the almost one hundred musical selections of the choirs directed by John Seagard while he was Director of Music at LBI / GVLC.  We have picked most recent renditions of the music (especially those recorded at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis) for download (we have listed other years these particular pieces were sung by an LBI / GVLC choir).  Except for Peter Lutkin's "Benediction," they are ordered by the number of times that John chose to program them during his twenty-three years at LBI-GVLC.  And, so, they might be considered as "John's Favorites".

If you would like a CD of the songs sung while you were in the choir (or in attendance at LBI / GVLC), then download the spreadsheet file of the entire playlist here and use the email link below to let us know of your request (there is a $20.00 charge [includes shipping] for the CD with all proceeds going to the GVLC-LBI Alumni Association to help defray expenses for the annual reunion).

The Madrigals

These pieces of music from the collection of the music of the choirs directed by John Seagard while he was Director of Music at LBI / GVLC are from the smaller group of singers, singing more secular compositions of the "madrigal" era.  They include from 1968-69:  Pierre Passereau's "He Is Good And Handsome" (1.54 MB), Robert L. de Pearsall's "When Allen-a-Dale_Went_A_Hunting" (2.02 MB), Thomas Morley's "Sing We Enchanted" (1.58 MB), and Noah Francis Ryder's "Let Us Break Bread Together" (1.60 MB); from 1970-71:  Beatrice Fenner's "When Children Pray" (2.03 MB), and Ralph Vaughn Williams' "Just As The Tide Was Flowing" (1.76 MB); and from 1971-72;  Edward German's "My Bonny Lass" (1.49 MB), and Henry Purcell's "In These Delightful Pleasant Groves" (1.47 MB).  Just right click on the particular link in the previous sentence and choose the "Save Target As . . ." dialog option from the pull-down menu.  The .mp3 file sizes are included in parentheses above, so plan accordingly depending upon your download speed.

78s

The CD for this grouping had the following six songs on it.  Right now I don't have access to the 78s (3?) from which the CD tracks where made (in order to give more particulars).  So, this is a temporary repository.

1953 LBI Treble Quartet
