“Take, oh, take those lips away” from Measure for Measure, Act IV, Scene 1
Take, O, take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again, bring again;
Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain.
“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more!” from Much Ado about Nothing,
Act II, Scene 3
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, & c.

Fall, Sweet Music, Text: For Music - Bryan Waller Procter (1787-1874)
Now whilst he dreams, O Muses, wind him round!
Send down thy silver words, O murmuring Rain!
Haunt him, sweet Music! Fall, with gentlest sound, -
Like dew, like night, upon his weary brain!
Come, Odours of the rose and violet, - bear
Into his charmed sleep all visions fair!
So may the lost be found,
So may his thoughts by tender Love be crowned,
And Hope come shining like a vernal morn,
And with its beams adorn
The Future, till he breathes diviner air,
In some soft Heaven of joy, beyond the range of Care!

Graduating Seniors
Please join us in celebrating these students. Here they share the degree(s)
and major(s) they are completing, their plans/hopes for the year to come,
and a favorite memory from their choral experience.
Rosa Lemos, Bachelor of Arts in Music and English, sang with Cantala
and Concert Choir, will be attending the Frost School of Music at the
University of Miami to pursue a Master’s in Music Education. Her
strongest memory is “being humbled by the glorious Chicago Children’s
Choir on the Presto Tour this past spring.”
Xi (Zoey) Lin, Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts and Bachelor of Music in
Piano Performance, played piano with Viking Chorale, will work as an
actor and pianist for theatre productions. Her favorite memory is “when
sometimes Dr. Sieck was playing an imaginary piano in the air and I was
actually able to dub to it.”
