A recording of Rene Clausen’s composition, “Life and Breath: Choral Works by Rene Clausen,” won three 2013 Grammy Awards.

Concordia College choir director René Clausen quietly read a book by the

A
recording of his composition, “Life and Breath: Choral Works by René

nominated.
“It is just very heartwarming and exciting, and
I’m just grateful and humbled that this has all happened,” he said. “It
was nothing that I expected. Just all of this has come out of the
blue.”
