This is the melody that on May 1st at 7:30
p.m. the youth choirs will sing in unison.
"To Music"
To singing and to music,
To joyful friendship true;
To moments filled with happiness,
Refreshing each day anew.
Lift ev'ry voice to music
To love's expression sing;
Let music live in mind and heart.
Let joy and laughter ring!
For through this gift to humankind
We each to all belong;
It's music that has joined us
In life's sweet mastersong.
Refrain:
From valleys and from hilltops,
From sea to shining sea,
Let earth resound with music,
And life the richer be.

This is a 16th century German Chorale Melody, arranged by
