Está el Cachilo dormido con su ponchito de almohada, tal vez, buscando en el sueño el alma de la vidala. El alma de la vidala, florcita salavinera, llegando los carnavales, se le ha'i volver chacarera, (Tarareo...) llegando los carnavales, se la ha'i volver chacarera, Hay un rincón en el pago donde duermen los quichuistas, donde cantan chacareras al llegar la tardecita. Al llegar la tardecita, corazón estremecido, When you pass through Santiago walk quietly, because in a corner of the payment is Cachilo asleep. The Cachilo is asleep with his pillow ponytail, maybe looking in the dream the soul of the vidala.The soul of the vidala, florcita salavinera arriving the carnivals, he will be chacarera, (Humming ...) arriving the carnivals, the chacarera will be returned, There is a corner in the sky where the Quichuists live, where they sing chacareras when the afternoon arrives.When the afternoon arrives trembling heart,anda el Zoco tarareando para el Cachilo dormido. Para el Cachilo dormido, florcita salavinera, llegando los carnavales, se le ha'i volver chacarera, (Tarareo... ) llegando los carnavales, se le ha'i volver chacarera.walk the Soco humming for Cachilo asleep. For Cachilo asleep, florcita salavinera arriving the carnivals, he will be chacarera, (Humming ...) arriving the carnivals, he will have become a chacarera.Circa Meafrom Carmina BuranaCirca mea pectora multa sunt suspiriade tua pulchritudine,que me ledunt misere.Tui lucent oculisicut solis radii,sicut slendor fulgarislucem donat tenebris.In my heartthere are many sighsfor your beauty,which wound me sorely.Your eyes shinelike the rays of the sun,like the flashing of lightningwhich brightens the darkness.Kennesaw State University ChoraleSOPRANOJordan AdamsTori AndersonDaneel BennettAnnsley BryanLauryn DavisXandy EdwardsSarah JosephLily KoClaire LivingstonSierra MansonKayla MarksAnne MichaloveTatyana PopovychJanelle SchultzSarah SeippelSarah ShiverHannah SmithAllie SzatmarySOPRANO (cont.)Talbot Tindall-BalchNaomi WilliamsALTOColby BlickSimona CofrancescoJoi CrumpLauren FaulknerAllis GilstrapAlejandra HillierJoey JacquesMarcie JonesBecky MedinaHannah NortonLulu PearceElizabeth SordilloGraciela VeraTENORMatthew BoatwrightJesse CookConnor FintonDylan PeltonenKyle RobinsonJacob StewartBASSMiles ClaytonAndrew DaigleAndrew HughesSteven MayoColin McGarrBenjamin MillerKenan MitchellChima OdoboKennesaw State University Men’s EnsembleTENOR 1Matthew BoatwrightJared LeachJeremiah RobinsonCaleb StackAlex TurnerJared WeatherfordTENOR 2Brandon CaliNoah CallahanRiley CarsonConnor FintonMichael RisacherKyle RobinsonJoss StarkMichael StewardBARITONEAndrew BlandJackson GarrisonDalton HancockTyler LaneConnor LawsonSteven MayoJacob StewartJeremy ValoreAntwan WardBASSAndrew BerryJacob Chalk-HildrethJacob ChapmanJake DrukmanPatrick DudleyWill GarrettAndrew HughesBen MillerKenan MitchellJimmy RobertsTrevor Walkerpersonnel*Student Assistant                                                                                                      AccompanistSherri N.

When this building opened in October of 2007, it was transformational for the School of Music and for KSU! It continues to be a jewel in our crown and musicians from around the world love to perform here because of the wonderful acoustic properties of Morgan Hall.The weekend of October 7th–8th, we had an alumni recital on the 7th and a grand celebration Sunday afternoon October 8th, with full choir and orchestra to celebrate all this Center has meant to us these past 10 years! In honor of the Bailey 10th Anniversary, we officially launched our Name a Seat Campaign during our celebration in October. What a wonderful way to honor a loved one or to provide for future programming for Morgan Hall.I look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with you. With your continued support of music and the arts, I look forward to all that we will accomplish together!  Stephen W. Plate, DMADirector, KSU School of Music
