Henry Halvorson (Class of 1925) taught music, history, and literature in Minnesota schools before joining the publishing firm of Ginn and Company in Boston. He directed the music department there and edited a complete set of elementary music textbooks. Mr. Halvorson became Vice President of Ginn and Company, and later served as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He was a member of the Board of Regents of St. Olaf College from 1964-1980. The generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson, along with their keen interest in music and in St. Olaf College, made possible this music library building, to the great and lasting benefit of the St. Olaf community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">St. Olaf Music Department&#8217;s Music for Performing Organizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The items in this collection are not part of the St. Olaf Libraries&#8217; collection and are not included in Catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you manage a music ensemble and would like to access the collection, please contact the Associate Librarian for Ensembles and Performing Rights, Jonathan Kopplin (<a href=\"mailto:koppli1@stolaf.edu\">koppli1@stolaf.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Research Resources Our catalog, databases, and digital collections can be searched from the&nbsp;Libraries&#8217; homepage.
