Song a Day Meme: Day 23

[willowisp]

My first time around at SUNY Oswego, I was in the college choir all four years (last time I was taking a class in the same time period as it met both semesters. Sigh). I fell in love with "Ubi Caritas", which we did at least two of those years. I tried to get a copy for our wedding, but it never arrived (nor did many of our RSVPs, and later that year a local postal service worker was charged with stealing mail). I also tried to get a copy my most recent time back at Oswego, but every time I tried to go to the music archives they were closed. I may yet try to contact the college choir director when I was there; she is now an assistant dean of the music department.

Wonderful piece, and one that we sing regularly at Duke. I normally sing Sop I, but have learned the Tenor I part as well for that one ... to sing at the GLTB graduation one year when they were short on tenors. I'll try to remember to point you to our online streaming video next time we sing it.
