Really cool version of your Chorale

It is like listening to the sound of an organ, it blends so well. And it is right in that mellow range that everyone loves to hear.

That's what he said. He never actually looked at it though. Then I ran into the song for Northwestern (Quaecumque Sunt Vera) and questioned him on that until I found out that apparently a PMA member wrote it or something? Clarification for historical accuracy would be wonderful since neither of us were sure. I love anything history related, and I first ran across a snippet of this song in "Whatsoever Things..." by Mark Camphouse.

It would be so much easier for chapters to learn songs that way.

I really agree. Not being able to really truly play a piano kinda... hinders my ability to learn vocal music. And it would just be fun to listen to!

That's right. 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.

This! I love our songs, and I'd love to hear them done more!
