Exciting news! The Association of Lutheran Church Musicians recently announced that one of our 2024 Music Clinicans, Mark Sedio, is the recipient of the 2025 Raabe Prize for Excellence in Sacred Composition for his choral submission, “Nada me falta.” Purchase now on Augsburg Fortress!

The selection committee, headed by Dr. Thomas Schmidt, included the following comments regarding “Nada me falta” in their report to the ALCM board:

“Among the 48 entries in the Raabe Competition this year, there were quite a number of excellent compositions. The committee had a lively and fruitful discussion and came to a unanimous consensus. The winning piece, “Nada me falta” by Mark Sedio, is an infectious bilingual setting of Psalm 23 accompanied by organ and percussion. It employs a refrain that can be sung by the congregation, has varied verses for SATB choir, and is well constructed throughout. We see it being used widely in our congregations.”

"This summer Augsburg Fortress hosted five music clinics around the country, featuring the talent and wit of clinicians Mark Sedio and David Cherwien along with a wonderful line-up of handbell clinicians at each location.

Augsburg Fortress music clinics offer a great way to reconnect with friends and colleagues, find several new music gems in our catalog, and gain some useful insights for your music program. We also hope that by actively participating in reading seasons, workshops, and the hymn festival, you leave feeling uplifted, energized, and excited for the upcoming year!"

Augsburg Fortress is delighted to be back at the Association of Anglican Musicians for another day of showcasing our catalog and answering questions. We love that events like this allow us to meet so many talented musicians. Plus, the sunset view from the IDS Center, Minneapolis's tallest building, wasn't too shabby either!
