It's an interesting round...

I can think of a few possibilities. Any hints?

The music is by Haydn, but the arrangement and Latin text are by Peter Christian Lutkin, first dean of the School of Music at Northwestern, who was an initiate both of Iota Chapter (Northwestern) and a national honorary member (Alpha Alpha). The honor society for music students, Pi Kappa Lambda, takes its name from his initials.

FWIW, I think there are a few songs in the book that first got in there because they were associated with particular chapters.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That is actually really cool that he had such a varied impact. I will keep this in mind. A few of my friends and I are basically the music history lovers club on our campus. Helps when your studio teacher is also a member of the music history faculty.

Now I really want to see a picture of this house. The campus is absolutely gorgeous (wandered with my mom for hours last year), so I'm guessing the house is as well.

Sadly, no. I had chapter in it, but transferred before I could actually LIVE in it.

"I'll be down in a jiffy." Two main parts that when rounded together well... make it a little less appropriate for parents.

LOL. The was my first quess. :D

It's popular with lots of chapters. I wish we could claim that as our own creation, but we can't. It's from P.D.Q. Bach's "Art of the Ground Round." (Though I guess we can sort of claim it -- Peter Schickele is an honorary initiate of Gamma Epsilon.)

"Look her face could launch a thousand ships!" Take a trip down memory lane here.

FWIW, and if you're interested, you can find a really good recording of A Serenade to a Girl at iTunes. (Only $0.99)

That link doesn't wok. Do you have another one?

Try this. If this still doesn't work, go to the iTunes store and search for "Sinfonia Songs, Vol. III."

Thanks. That one didn't work either so I'll try the ITunes store.

I think I may have posted this elsewhere on GC but this is another one of my favorite renditions of your Chorale. It's 4 part. I love it!

Very strange. It worked for me what I posted it, but now it doesn't.

One other link to try. If this works right, try the top result.
