(Ryan Young / Cornell University) Published: August 26, 2025 Comments David Sheaff, Class of 1963 14 Sep, 2025 One of my favorite memories, walking down libe slope on a crisp afternoon, hearing “The Evening Song”. Reply Bayla Singer, Class of 1960 14 Sep, 2025 65 years after graduation, retired in Florida: My picture window faces west, and just about every evening during the spectacular sunset, my mind sings softly “As the sun sets / in the crimson of the west, and the voices of the day/ murmur low and sink to rest…” Some things never leave you. Reply Barry Baron, Class of 1978 15 Sep, 2025 I sang in the Cornell Glee Club from 1974 to 1978. We Baritones had a rich and beautiful harmony part for the Evening Song, that remains close to my heart. Reply Dianne Newman, Class of 1965 2 Aug, 2026 I’d love to hear that harmony for the Evening Song. Where is it available? Reply Ingrid Dieterle Tyler, Class of 1969 2 Aug, 2026 We named our Selene trawler “Evening Song”! Ingrid Dieterle Tyler and Stephen Tyler Class of 1969 Reply John Sabelli, Class of 1978 6 Aug, 2026 I remember graduation in 1978. As we were marching towards Shoellkopf, somebody was up in the tower playing “If I Only Had a Brain”. Reply Diane Hanson, Class of 1959 10 Aug, 2026 Give My Regards to Davy . . . we’ll all have drinks at Theadore Zinck’s when I get back next fall. I know, it was not part of the quiz, but for some reason it just jumped into my head. Favorite, though, would be Evening song on the chimes, walking home after a long afternoon in the drafting room in White Hall.
