Anyone have a nice tune for an Alma Mater song? A tune that most kids would know?
August 12, 2020 11:26 am at 11:26 am #1891442GadolhadorahParticipantNot sure what you are looking for……a rousing “fight song” sung at competitive athletic or intellectual events (e.g. a Mir-Brisk talmud quiz like a fum “Its Academic”) or a slow, melancholy melody sung at the end of a class reunion…..Big difference

“Fair Harvard” also has a very popular tune.
Enjoy.

Are they to scatter with the dust and the breeze
Yet one thought gives me comfort
Its all that i have left
Oh i know that god in heaven
Wont forget”August 13, 2020 8:10 am at 8:10 am #1891699asimpleyidParticipant@gadolhadorah
the alma mater in camps is slow and emotional and they also change the words, so this works perfectly. they dont just sing a full song with the original lyrics lolAugust 13, 2020 11:00 am at 11:00 am #1891808GadolhadorahParticipantAsimpleyid: Thanks for the clarification….I don’t recall any “alma mater” from my own years at summer camp. Thanks to Charlie Hall, I do very clearly recall the melody and lyrics of High Above Cayuga’s waters from my many years in Ithaca although we generally hummed everything after the first stanza.

You are welcome. I have not been back to Ithaca since 1974.
