In the fall of 2020, when we couldn’t be together to sing due to COVID-19, the students of the Lehigh University Choir, treble ensemble Dolce, and the men’s Glee Club explored works addressing our feelings of home, belonging and community. For it is the community that brings us together to sing, and keeps us together in challenging times. This video includes new compositions by our students and faculty, as well as repertoire on the theme of what home means, and comments by students and faculty about our community of singing. 

I believe that “Still, still, still”, an Austrian carol and lullaby, delivers the spirit of the holiday season with peace and serenity. As a gift to Dolce, the Lehigh University Treble Choir, and to our audience, Susan Frickert and I arranged this work together. It would have premiered at the Lehigh University Christmas Vespers in the beautiful Packer Memorial Church. Thankfully, the organ part was still recorded in the Packer Memorial Church. I hope you enjoy this performance and I wish you much peace and hope this season.  --Sun Min Lee, Director
