Concordia University, St. Paul Music Programs Guide 2/5/16 Concordia University, St. Paul Music Program Guide Music Department Mission Statement The mission of Concordia University, St. Paul, a university of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, . . . “Music is a fair gift of God.” (Martin Luther) “God’s greatest gift to his sorrowing creatures is to offer them JOY worthy of their destiny.” (J.S. Bach) . . .is to prepare students for thoughtful and informed living, . . .

Our music programs equip students to serve humanity by sharing and teaching the skills, expression, and joy of music to all people. These musical skills can be used to praise God in worship and life. . . .and for the enlightened care of God’s creation. Music, both in listening and in creating, leads people to a deeper understanding of God’s creation and their own created selves.
