Oregon State University has a long tradition of music excellence, both in teaching and performance. Now, thanks to the joint efforts of Judith Walls Freeman and Todd Trigsted, you can bring 100 years of great choral music into your home with this two-disc set, CD and DVD, of "A Century of Song: The History of Singing at Oregon State University."

This special CD/DVD set documents the entire history of choral singing at OSU, dating back to August 17, 1887, when Governor Zenas F. Moody laid the cornerstone to what we now recognize as Benton Hall, home of the OSU Department of Music.

In addition, the DVD also includes "The Singing Experience," (interviews with past and current students and faculty) and the reading of "The Names of Oregon."

Price includes shipping cost, $20 for the set. Please allow two weeks for delivery.
