Lehigh Choral Arts Scholar Program Each year, Lehigh Choral Arts recruits the finest of our nation's high school singers to be part of our program. The Lehigh Choral Arts Scholarship is a merit­ based stipend open to all majors in the University by audition. Through our scholarship outreach program, we have brought over 25 scholars to Lehigh. For more information, see our website at www.lehighchoralarts.com

Lehigh Choral Arts Artists-in-Residence program One of our great strengths at Lehigh is being able to bring professionals and amateurs together on stage to perform masterworks of the choral-orchestral repertoire. Our Artist-in-Residence program brings internationally renowned soloists to perform and give masterclasses for our vocal students. We are so grateful to those families and friends who have helped us create our Sebastian, Dyer, Finkel, Shabaker and Comfort Artist-in-Residence programs. The Sametz Artist-in-Residence is supported by contributions from our Choral U nion members themselves who feel that they want to give something back for all the joy they have in singing with Lehigh Choral Arts. If you would like to help support either our Artist-in-Residence or Choral Scholar programs, please call 610 758 3833.

He is exhausted by Love He has no joy, tears are his lot; Whenever one cause of pain stops,

you give me yet another You laugh obliviously as your lover weeps. You marvel at my illness - my

health is the marvel. O gazelle in the desert dunes You are beautiful and kind So close to me, yet your refuge is

so far away My love, you make me foreswear

all others For my misery, God created you as

the beloved of all hearts!

Where do you search for me, my devotee? I am within you Not in pilgrimage, not in signs, not in solitudes Not in temples, not in mosques, neither in Kaba nor in Kailash* Devotee, 1 am within you. I am not in prayers, nor in meditation, nor in resolutions of fasting, I am not in rituals of Karma; 1 do not dwell in yogic exercises, nor renunciation Not in vital force nor in the body, nor in the universal sky, Not in Nature, Not in the breath of the breath Seek in earnest; in one moment of the search Quickly. you shall find me out. Says Kabir, Listen well: I can be found in a single moment of faith.

Son of Man VJ. A Manfrom Lebanon

Master, Master Singer Master of words unspoken, Seven times was I born, and seven times have I died And behold I live again, Remembering a day and a night among the hills, When your tide lifted us up.

Master, Master Poet, Master of our silent desires, The heart of the world quivers with the throbbing of your heart. But it bums not with your song. The world sits listening to your voice in tranquil delight, But it rises not from its seat To scale the ridges of your hills.

Seven times was I born and seven times have I died, And now I live again, and I behold you, The fighter among fighters, The poet of poets King above all kings,

Master, Master of Light, Whose eye dwells in the seeking fingers of the blind, You are still despised and mocked, A man too weak and infirm to be God, A God too much man to call forth adoration. Their mass and their hymn, Their sacrament and their rosary, are for their imprisoned self. You are their yet distant self, their far-off cry, and their passion.

But Master, Sky-heart, Knight of our fairer dream, You do still tread this day; Nor bows nor spears shall stay your steps. You walk through all our arrows. You smile down upon us, And though you are the youngest of us all You father us all.

Poet, Singer, Great Heart, May our God bless your name, And the womb thas held you, and the breasts that gave you milk. And may God forgive us all.

"Vino, Vino!": Ibn Quzman 's Uncourtly Toast to Andalusian Diglossia lbn Quzman is a 12th century medieval Andalusian poet who is most celebrated

for the 'zajal.' a distinctly vernacular form of Arab poetry (related to the 'muwashshaha'formi that constitutes a melange of classical and colloquial Arabic and Romance language. Although he lived during the dynasty of the

Almoravids, who endorsed linguistic. cultural and religious homogeneity in the Southern Iberian peninsula, Ibn Quzman 's bacchic-erotic rajals are the voice of revelry, rebellion and above all nostalgia for the crumbling era of cosmopolitan-

ism that made Al-Andalus the envy of the medieval world.
