About the
Center for Church Music
The Center for Church Music was established in 2010 on the cam-
pus of Concordia University Chicago. Its purpose is to provide ongoing
research and educational resources in Lutheran church music especially
in the areas of congregational song and composition for the Church. It
is intended to be of interest to pastors, musicians, and laity alike.
The Center maintains a continually expanding resource room which
houses the Schalk American Lutheran Hymnal Collection, the manu-
script collections of prominent Lutheran composers and hymn writers,
and a broad array of reference works and resources in church music. To
create a global awareness and facilitate online research, efforts are under-
way to digitize the hymnal collection, the manuscript archives, and the
hymn festival recordings.
The Center publishes monographs and books covering various as-
pects of Lutheran church music.
The Center maintains a dynamic website whose features include
devotions, presentations, oral histories, biographical essays, resource
recommendations, and conversations on various topics in worship and
church music.
The Center’s Founders Group includes Linda and Robert Kemp-
ke, Nancy and Bill Raabe, and Waldemar B. Seefeldt, whose significant
monetary gifts initiated the Center and have, along with the gifts of
others, sustained its momentum.
The Center’s Advisory Board includes James Freese, Scott Hyslop,
Linda Kempke, Jonathan Kohrs, Nancy Raabe, Carl Schalk, Steven
Wente, and Paul Westermeyer.
