Hello Laura

As an alumni of St. Olaf College (from way back in 1956) I am not certain I
know what songs they are now seeking in their auditions but I would guess
that they would like to hear selections from the classical repertoire. The
vocal training at the College is basically the same as is found in most
college and university music departments. St. Olaf has a tradition of
excellence in all areas of music with a special emphasis on large ensembles
such as choir, orchestra and band. Very few liberal arts colleges have
music departments that are as well known for the quality of their teaching
and performance as St. Olaf.

By the way, it is St. Olaf College, not St. Olaf's College. The possessive
's is more typical of a Catholic institution and St. Olaf has a Lutheran
background.
