Paul J. Christiansen was the youngest son of renowned conductor and composer F. Melius Christiansen. After graduating from St. Olaf College, he went on to study at Oberlin Conservatory of Music and Eastman School of Music. His original intent was to become a concert pianist. Much like his father, Paul went on to choral conducting in the Lutheran tradition, heading the Concordia College choirs in Moorhead, Minnesota for 49 years, bringing prominence to the program. A prolific composer and arranger, he has hundreds of titles to his credit.
