Not sure what to say?

His music to "Before the Marvel of This Night" is one of my most favorite hymns. Thank you!

I had the honor of singing in Carl's choir in Wausau. Carl was also the person who encouraged me to go into the full-time Lutheran teaching ministry.

May he rest in peace. I had the honor of singing under his baton in the Concordia Chapel Choir, 1969-70. A gentle, kind and brilliant leader of young people. We sang his hymn for Transfiguration Sunday this morning in remembrance.

I am writing to extend my deepest sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of Carl Schalk on the occasion of his passing. His warmth and kindness towards me during my years of teaching music at Concordia University Chicago will not be forgotten.
