Hey, kendall, you weren't Fieldston High School Class of 1968, were you? We also did Pinafore in our first year there, and we studied Finlandia in music class (although I don't think we sang it).

I was only in school choir in 9th grade, and don't remember any songs from it, but at assembly we all sang the school song and the school anthem. Only many years later did I learn that the tunes were taken from various hymns from a different religious tradition than mine. When my daughter started primary school, I recognized the tune of her school song as Deutschland Uber Alles....
