And we all can, and we all can sing together, sing together 'cause the circle, 'cause the circle never ends. I was singing, I was singing with my friends, with my friends. I was singing, I was singing with my sisters, with my sisters. (SINGING) Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord, by and by? There's a better home awaiting if we try, Lord, if we try. We are always thinking of you when we sing this, as well as the rest of the Cornell community. It's called "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." And dedicated to our family chorus circle and those of the alums in our chorus circle as well. It's also a staple in our permanent repertoire. So the chorus has one more for you today. They don't hire me for microphone skills SARAH BOWE: put this the wrong way, so Technology. So before- sha-doo shooby-do- the light- sha-doo shooby-do- hold me again- sha-doo shooby-doo- with all of your might- sha-doo shooby-doo- in the still of the night, in the still of the night. So before- sha-doo shooby-doo- the night- sha-doo shooby-doo- hold me again- sha-doo shooby-doo- with all of your might- sha-doo shooby-doo- in the still of the night, in the still of the night. I hope- I remember- and I pray- I remember- to keep, to keep your precious, your precious love. The stars, the stars were bright, were bright above. I remember, I remember that night in May. Promis you'll never- sha-doo shooby-doo- let me go- sha-doo shooby-doo- in the still of the night. For I want- sha-doo shooby-doo- to love you so.
In the still- sha-doo shooby-doo- of the night, I hold- sha-doo shooby-doo- hold you tight. We're the official a cappella subset of the Cornell University Chorus. It washes, it washes over you, it washes, it washes over you and makes you feel cleaner than water, cleaner than water, cleaner, cleaner than water. And their shining whiteness doesn't burn like the sun. It is good, it is good to feel them resting on you like great, like great white, great white birds, great white birds. Their long, their long, long, long, long, long silvery rays sink into you, into you and, and do not hurt. They push, push, push, push their song inside of you with their song. You have to be still, still when they look, when they look at you, at you. The next piece is called "It's Strange About Stars." And I'm certain that some of our chorus alum in the audience are very familiar. And we thought the text was appropriate to welcome us home to this stage and welcome you all back home as well. Our last piece that you heard is a staple in the chorus repertoire. During our combined set, the first piece, our fiddler today will be Aidan Cuite. I do you want to alert you to one change in the program. This is our first performance live in a very, very long time. And it's my great joy and privilege to be directing the Cornell University Chorus and Glee Club this year, and an even greater joy to be a part of this wonderful celebration for us today. Welcome to the homecoming concert, fall 2021. There is no such beauty as where you belong. Rise up, follow me, come away is the call, with the love in your heart as the only song. There's a voice I can hear that will lead me home. Oh, when will I know there's a way, there's a road that will lead me home?Īfter wing, after rain, when the dark is done, as I wake from a dream in the gold of day, through the air there's a calling from far away. Tell me, where is the road I can call my own that I left, that I lost so long ago? All these years I have wandered. It sounds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing? Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing. I hear the, though far-off song that hail a new creation. (SINGING) My life goes on in endless song above Earth's lamentation.
