More Music from the Hill

By Carl Schroeder '05
April 6, 2005

"Music from the Hill 2005," a new student-produced album of music written by 17 current St. Olaf students, was officially released. The CD, produced by Muziko Nova, St. Olaf's student-run contemporary music organization, features instrumental, vocal and electronic music written by members of all four current St. Olaf classes and performed by two major St. Olaf ensembles and various chamber groups of more than 70 students and faculty.

The "Music from the Hill" project was conceived and coordinated by Muziko Nova leader Carl Schroeder '05, whose band piece "Agora" was performed by the Minnesota Symphonic Winds and is also included on the CD. Recording of most tracks was done on-campus this past winter by senior Joshua Wyatt, a professional audio engineer.

Funded in part by a grant from the Finstad Office for Entrepreneurial Studies, "Music from the Hill 2005" is the second CD to be released by Muziko Nova. The first CD in the series, "Music from the Hill 2003," was released in February 2003. All proceeds generated from sales of "Music from the Hill 2005" go toward future Muziko Nova recording Projects and contemporary music events.
