It's sung almost too much, but Friday night, when the Glee Club and Choral Society started it, I thought I could listen to it a hundred times more. Let us hope hat in his retirement, Randall Thompson will write more music that sings and sounds as well as that little piece...

His best-known work, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, ranks 15th on the list of the Lutherans' most frequently sung hymns, well behind a host of hymns by 18th and 19th century Protestants. According to a survey in The Lutheran Magazine, the hymns at the top of the list are Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty; Beautiful Savior; My Faith Looks Up to Thee; Come, Thou Almighty King; and Give...
