This recording was done in the spring of 1968 in Naperville, Illinois, outside of Chicago at North Central College. Three years later the college eliminated the music department.
The women come in for the second Schumann Art Song which follows this song. The second song is "Where'er My Tears Are Falling", followed with "The Rose and The Lily".
I will be uploading more songs from this long playing (LP) record.
If you were a member of this choir, would you be willing to contact me? I would like to hear from you. If you have a song from the album that you would like posted here at Youtube, please let me know. You can leave a Channel Comment here:

Below is an excerpt from the link:

In the 1960's Dr. Paul Warren Allen of the North Central College Music Department melded the vocal talents of students, college personnel, and community members into a forerunner of the Naperville Chorus. The NCC-Community Chorus flourished and performed contemporary and traditional choral works until 1971, when financial cutbacks at the college eliminated the Music Department.
Photos, except for ten (4 of children, 4 of birds and 2 of woods' scenes), are from my yard in Rhode Island, nearby where I live on Aquidneck Island and photos of flowers I took at the National Botanical Gardens in Washington, D.C (where I have lobbied four times for Darfur, in addition to several times in the US RI Senators and Representative offices in Rhode Island).

The video portion within the Youtube video is from the movie "The Four Feathers". The actors are Heath Ledger and Kate Hudson.

The picture of me included in the video on my parents' lawn is the day I graduated from college at Huntington College ~ after I transferred from North Central College mid-way through my junior (third) year. Going to Huntington College is what eventually led me to live in New England the whole of my adult life. I love it here.
At my blog post about this video and North Central College, please find two official forms that list the choir personnel, which was emailed to me November 6, in the evening by the NCC archivist, Kim:

I have put in a request to Meredith at NCC to learn of Maestro Paul Warren Allen's status. If I hear good news (hopefully during next week, November 9-13, 2009), that he is still with us, I am going to contact him. Let me know if you have a message for him.
See what was happening in 1968:
