SONG AND MUSIC are a birthright which have been nt rus ted to all nations in a greater or lesser degree.

That such a birthright has been richl y ent rusted to the Norwegian Natio n is a well known fact. As musi lovers, composers and performers t he Norwegian s have always been in the fo remost ran ks. Singing, and then in particular male chorus singing, has a very broad place in the daily musi cal life o f the country. Virtuall y every little com mu nity has its singing societies which co ntribute much towards keeping the high stand­ ard of patriot is m and love. Everybody takes part and the great Sanger­ fests with massed ch ruses numbering 5000 to 6000 men are rea lities.

Immortal co mposers like Grieg, Sin di ng, Sve ndse n, Ole Olsen, Kjerulf and numerous others have given us male chorus co mpositions o f lasting beauty, co mpositions that rightfull y belong among the finest the world has produced in this form of music.

The No rwegian so ns and daughters who have emigrated to America have brought wi th them this great love for so ng and music, and have contribu ted ho norabl y to make th is 'tOuntry an outstanding musical nation . For over sixty years Norwegian singing societies have ex isted o n the Pacific Coast, and in 1902, chief ly through the efforts of Mr. F. A. Tomte, Portland, Oregon, the Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers' Associ­ ation was organi zed in Seattle) Washington. The first officers were Joh n Norman (Everett), President; A. J. Thuland (Seattle), Secretary ; Dr. O. A. loe (Seattle), Treasure r, and Dr. Carlo A. Sperat i, Director-in-Ch ief.

The origina l founders ofthe Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers Assoc iation are as follows: Norwegian Glee Club, Portland, Orego n, orga nized Nov­

ember 6, 1886; Normanna Male Chorus, Tacoma, Washington, organ ized

October 15, 1888; Norwegian Male Chorus, Seattle, Washingto n, organ­

ized December 6, 1889; Norden Sangforening, B liard, Washington, or­

gan ized in 1901 j Everett Norwegian Male Chorus. Everett, Washington,

organized August 5 , 1902; Norwegian Male Chorus, Vancouver, British Co lumb ia, organized September 14, 1927.

The first Sangerfest was held in ve re tt, W ash ingto n, Aug u st 1, 2 a nd 3, 1903 . Since t hen San ge rfests ha ve been he ld and celebrated in the pri nc ipa l cities of t he Pac ific Coast.
