Hagbard Brase: Beloved Music Master

Bethany College Press-Kansas, 1984. Hardcover. New/New. 0x0x0. In Publisher's Shrinkwrap. The lengthening shadow of the life of the beloved music master in Lindsborg, Kansas – Dr. Hagbard Brase (1877-1953) – continues to inspire generations of admirers who knew him personally. Additional numbers greatly appreciate the legacy of his musical, spiritual, academic, and personal contributions to Bethany College, his students, his church, the Bethany College Oratorio Society for which he was a conductor for 31 years, and other ensembles including the Bethany College Choir which he founded in 1935. Those who are conversant with his musical compositions, those who have heard him perform on organ, those who knew Brase as a family man, and those who realized that both institutions and individuals today have a better life because of what he did and what he was some decades ago, are full of gratitude for his life‘s work. This volume by Dr. Emory Lindquist is a sensitive, understanding, personable, and thorough portrayal of Dr. Brase based on first-hand knowledge and extensive research.
