Hark! I Hear the Harps Eternal
Arr. Craig Carnahan | Text: F.R. Warren
Braden Rymer, conductor
Hark, I hear the harps eternal ringing on the farther shore, As I near those swollen waters with their deep and solemn roar. And my soul, tho’ stain’d with sorrow, fading as the light of day, Passes swiftly o’er those waters, to the city far away. Souls have cross’d before me, saintly, to that land of perfect rest; And I hear them singing faintly in the mansions of the blest.
Refrain:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the lamb! Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to the great I AM!\

Flight
Arr. Ryan Murphy | Music and Text: Craig Carnelia
Shelby Laird, conductor
Let me run through a field in the night
Let me lift from the ground ‘til my soul is in flight.
Let me sway like the shade of a tree
Let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea.
Wish me on my way through the dawning day I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill, wanna grow in a grove on the side of a hill.
I don’t care if the train runs late, If the checks don’t clear, if the house blows down. I’ll be off where the weeds run wild, Where the seeds fall far from this earthbound town.
And I’ll start to soar!
Watch me rain til I pour.
I’ll catch a ship and that’ll sail me astray
Get caught in a wind, I’ll just have to obey ‘Til I’m flyin’ away…
Let me leave behind all the clouds in my mind I wanna wake without wondering why, finding myself in a burst for the sky! High! I’ll just roll! Let me lose all control, I wanna float like a wish in a well, free as the sound of the sea in a shell.
I don’t know, but maybe I’m just a fool.
I should keep to the ground. I should stay where I’m at. Maybe everyone has hunger like this, And the hunger will pass. But I can’t think like that.
All I know is that somewhere through a clearing, There’s a flickering of sunlight on a river long and wide, and I have such a river inside.
Let me run through a field in the night! let me lift from the ground ‘til my soul is in flight. Let me sway like the shade of a tree, let me swirl like a cloud in a storm on the sea.
Wish me on my way through the dawning day. I wanna flow, wanna rise, wanna spill, wanna grow on the side of a hill, wanna shift like a wave rollin’ on, wanna drift from the path I’ve been traveling upon, before I am gone.
My Parents As If Enemies from A Young Nun Singing
By: Libby Larsen | Text: Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz; translated by: Kate Flores
My parents, as if enemies of the life they gave me, alive have buried me here between wickets and iron bars…
Where all that I can feel is that a pleasing mate, even if imaginary, is more pleasing than a convent gate.
MEN’S GLEE CLUB
Brightest and Best
Arr. Shawn Kirchner | Text: Reginald Heber
Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator Down from the regions of glory descend! Shepherds go worship the babe in the manger, lo, for his guard the bright angels attend.
Refrain:
Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid. Star in the East, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, low lies his bed with the beast of the stall. Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Savior of all.
Shall we not yield him, in costly devotion, odours of Edom and off’rings divine, Gems of the mountains and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest and fold from the mine?
Many-Splendored Thing from The Longest Nights
Timothy Takach | Text: Paul Gruchow
And there are the dawns and the dusks when the snow is falling, when the lights in the villages take on a fat and gauzy flow, when the whole prairie world, although, dark, seems somehow aglow, when the sky above the storm becomes the particular pale pink of a prairie rose in bloom. When the winter sky puts on that face, the only possible response is to keep silent, as before any many-splendored thing.
Fey-O
Arr. Ethan Sperry | Text: Haitian Voodoo Song
Rayvon Love, conductor
Creole Fèy, o!
Sove lavi mwen
Nan mizè mwen ye, o! Fèy, o!
Sove lavi mwen
Nan mizè mwen ye, o!
Pitit mwen malad, Mwen kouri kay gangan Similo.
Pitit mwen malad, Mwen kouri kay gangan
Si li bon gangan
Sove lavi mwen, Nan mizè mwen ye, o!
Measure Me Sky
By: Jonathan Reid | Text: Leonora Speyer
Measure me, sky!
Tell me I reach by a song
Nearer the stars; I have been little so long.
Weigh me, high wind! What will your wild scales record? Profit of pain, Joy by the weight of a word.
Horizon, reach out!
Catch at my hands, stretch me taut, Rim of the world: Widen my eyes by a thought.
Sky, be my depth, Wind, be my width and my height, World, my heart’s span; Loveliness, wings for my flight.
English Herbs, oh!
Save my life
From the misery, oh! Herbs, oh!
Save my life, From the misery, oh!
My son is sick, I run to the home of the healer, Similo. My son is sick, I run to the home of the healer. If you’re a good healer
You’ll save my life, From the misery, oh!
