Love this! I’m class of ‘95. Reminds me of my POTW (Painting off the Wall) class with Jody Morris Sunshine 🥰🎨

I did that assignment with my 3rd graders....and were they straight on the mark....great assignment to really hone it in our little facial picadillos.

Don’t they still sing it? We were told that whenever we heard The Brahms 1st Symphony,we would always think of M&A

New song to replace the old one? I always loved that song. So different from other school songs. As is/was the school! We

I work very hard not to sing the words when I happen to hear that movement.

Just heard Brahms 1st recently and started singing our song. Amazed myself that I still remembered the words. After all I graduated in '63. Anyone live in South Florida? It would be interesting if we could put a group together down here.

I played this for my audition to get into music and art on the viola!

There are some small differences between the lyrics shown above by the A&F and those in the illustration. With one exception, the illustration is correct. The exception is the final word, which is "wrought", not "brought". I have previously posted here the tale of attending a Peter Yarrow concert and chatting with him in the lobby as he signed books during intermission. When I said we were fellow M&A alums, he asked if I remembered the school song (testing me perhaps?). I said I did and he said, “Good, let’s sing it now.” Which we did, with nary a musical or poetic error, receiving laughter and applause from the milling crowd. A fun memory.

I guess if you really want to remember anything, learn it to music! I certainly remember this. People with dementia can often sing along to Christmas carols, for example. We had a beautiful school song.

Check out this wonderful book by Philip Langellotti (M&A '67), author of "The Adventures of the Runaway Wheelchair: Into the Atmosphere." You can purchase the book at: www.amazon.com/Adventures-Runaway-Wheelchair-Into-Atmosphere/dp/1480871060
"The story follows Mikey, a precocious and scientifically-inclined pre-teen wheelchair user who learns about climate change and the importance of environmental conservation after being sent into space by his wheelchair when it comes to life one night.
Langellotti worked as a lab technician and adjunct lecturer in natural and criminal science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, New York, until he was paralyzed in a 1982 car accident. The idea for the book started germinating in his head since the mid-1990s when he was a stay-at-home dad caring for his kids."

Love this!❤️

Awesome!

Wonderful!  They get to experience the acoustics of the  auditorium.

Exactly where the gospel chorus got it’s start during my cohort Class of 1972

Class of 77❣️❤️👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That is so awesome!

My dream was always to be a member of the Gospel Choir (Class of ‘76)

I miss that stage!

Wow! That's awesome!

Wow, what an inspiring experience!

Senior chorus class of 68!

The M & A Gospel Chorus sounds just as good as it did in the 70’s, when I had the privilege of singing with them, when we were still in “ The Castle on the Hill”‼️It was magical ❣️🎶🎵🎤 Bravo‼️

Class of 72…..we were the “unofficial” gospel chorus. We used to practice on the steps.

Love that stage, auditorium M&A ‘68

The artists that created them have varied motivations, but all the works are meant to be the size they are; in other words none are preparatory studies. Some play with ideas of “real scale,” some counter our expectations of detail, others luxuriate in the compression of information."
