Special Music Premier To Accompany Christ 25th Anniversary Celebration

Timothy Tollefson has composed a musical work in four parts for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary celebration of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church of Port St. Lucie, Florida. Tollefson is a professor of Music, specializing in Music Composition at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota. He is currently finishing up work on his doctorate at the Hartt School in Connecticut.

The special anniversary project began as something entirely different. Pastor Michael Dale of Christ Lutheran: “About a year ago, I emailed Tim, who had been my college roommate, about the possibility of him producing a work in celebration of a new building project we were considering. It would have been in conjunction with a dedication service. The building project fell through because of the sluggish economy. When the anniversary celebration came along, I contacted him again.”

Professor Tollefson will be in attendance on October 17, 2010 when members of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church premier his work with an ensemble that includes organ, flutes, violin, hand bells, guitar, bongos, and 4-part choir. The congregation will even become part of the performance, singing chorale-style on the last verse with ensemble accompaniment.

Each of the four movements of the work based upon the hymn Built On The Rock, The Church Shall Stand is unique, but unified by a strong textual theme, and choral treatments. The opportunity to have a special new work premiered at Christ Lutheran is a treat and an honor. It is not to be missed.
