Somewhere between March and April of 1972, St. Joseph's College was host to a concert that included the combined voices of the St. Joseph's College chorus, the Manhattan College glee club, and the Emmitsburg community chorus. We performed a piece written by Dr. Howard Hanson, Song of Democracy. I have vivid and fond recollections of the concert and our stay at Emmitsburg. Most of all, it was at that concert that formed my lifelong love for the work of Dr. Howard Hanson and music for the symphonic band. I was deeply saddened when I found that St. Joseph's closed in 1973, but I am delighted that I found this website and the strong SJC alumnae community.

A thousnd thanks to Sister Ann Higgins for arranging for these. It brings back such wonderful memories!

It was beautifull in poetry, prose and song! We performed it in the summer on campus but I fail to remember what month of 1959! I remember being in the chorus for the sesquicentenninal of St. Joe’s.
