    Long may she ever firm keep her stand.

  • Daemon Irepit Callidus – Harmonium
    Latin English
    Daemon irepit callidus The Demon sneaks expertly
    Allicit cor honoribus, Tempting the honorable heart;
    Ponit frauds inter laudes, cantus, saltus. He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song, and dance
    Quidquid amabile Daemon dat, However amiably the Demon acts,
    Cor Jesu minus aestimat. It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
    Caro venatur sensibus; The Flesh is tempted by sensuality;
    Sensus adhaeret dapibus Gluttony clings to our senses;
    Inescatur, impiguatur, dilatator. It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches.
    Quidquid amabile Caro dat, However appealing the Flesh is,
    Cor Jesu minus aestimat. It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.
    Adde mundorum milia, Though the Universe may confer
    Mille millena gaudia; Thousands upon thousands of praises,
    Cordis aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt. They neither fulfill nor put out the desire of the heart.
    Quidquid amabile Totum dat, However appealing the whole Universe is,
    Cor Jesu minus aestimat. It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.

  • Non Più Mesta – Daryn Nowlin, '21, Mezzo-Soprano

    Nacqui all’affano e pianto…Non più emsta accanto al fuoco from La Cenerentola
    Giacomo Rossini

    Italian English
    Nacqui all’affano e pianto, I was born in sorrow and tears,
    soffrì tacendo il core; My heart suffered in silence;
    Ma per soave incanto But by some sweet enchantment
    dell’età mia nel fiore in the flower of my years,
    come un baleno rapido la sorte mia cangiò. like a quick flash, my fate was changed.
    No, tergete il ciglio, perché tremar? No, dry your tears. Why are you trembling?
    a questo sen volate. Fly to my breast.
    Figlia, sorella, amica, Daughter, sister, friend,
    tutto trovate in me. all these you can find in me.
    Non più mesta accanto al fuoco No longer next to the fire
    Starò sola a gorgheggiar, no. or will I be singing alone, no.
    Ah, fu un lampo, Ah, it was a bolt of lighting,
    un sogno, un giuoco a dream, a game,
    il mio lungo palpitar. in my long heartache.

    Alma Mater Hymn
    R.A. Cheville (arr.  V. Schaar)

    Come, Graceland songs and daughters all, And join our happy throng,
    With loyal voices let us raise Our Alma Mater song;
    O hillcrest, home of vision wide, Where brotherhood holds sway,
    Where all may learn in life and lore, ‘Tis thee we praise today.

    Through memory a thread shall run, Of golden richness made,
    Cementing there the treasures rare in thy foundation laid;
    O Alma Mater, guide us on, Thy standard e’re unfold,
    And call us on with memories Of days ‘neath the Blue and Gold.

    Through years and decades long to come Thy battlemented tower
    Shall rise to call the youth of lands To answer to the hour;
    And while thy work shall carry on, Our benisons are told
    In lives of honor, truth, and right: The seal of the Blue and Gold.
