  We investigate the possible corrections to the linear Regge trajectories for
the light-quark meson sector by matching two-point correlators of quark
currents to the Operator Product Expansion. We find that the allowed
modifications to the linear behavior must decrease rapidly with the principal
quantum number. After fitting the lightest states in each channel and certain
low-energy constants the whole spectrum for meson masses and residues is
obtained in a satisfactory agreement with phenomenology. The perturbative
corrections to our results are discussed.
