此曲原是進行曲風的德語愛國歌曲,1845 年Carl Wilhelm 作曲,曲名為Die Wacht am Rhein(萊茵河畔的守望)。
此曲在普法戰爭(1870-1)時,歌詞增加到五段,內容呼籲全德意志團結。該曲也是第一次世界大戰時德國流行的愛國歌曲。
在1881 年耶魯學生詩人Henry Durand參加Yale Glee Club,當時的Glee Club社長隨口哼了一些旋律,Durand就選了這首,重新填詞為"Bright College Years",原來的目的是為了讓Yale Glee Club有一首社歌。
這首重新填詞的非官方校歌,習慣上Yale Glee Club會在畢業典禮唱完兩段,唱到第二段最後一句"For God, for Country, and for Yale!"還要揮動白手帕。
此曲曾經在WWI的時空下,被在巴黎駐軍的Yale校友換成用馬賽歌的旋律唱,也幾乎被Yale校方禁唱,但是經過學生努力而保留。
如此的歷史背景,造成耶魯校歌不同於其他長春藤盟校多半是教會聖詩風格的校歌。
中國作曲家黃自(1904-1938, Yale class of 1929),顯然深受影響,他創作了一首振奮人心的抗戰歌曲「抗日歌/抗敵歌」(中華錦繡江山誰是主人翁...)開頭的結構、節奏與聲部配置與此曲如出一轍(或許可以當作­黃自參加過Glee Club的佐證)。

  • This is the encore piece of Taiwan Yale Ensemble 2009 Concert. I have rearranged "Bright College Years" with several fragments from the repertoire of that concert, including works by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Gershwin. Please expect our 2010 concert version of BCY, incorporating works from Piazzolla, Saint-Saens, Schumann, and Vivaldi. - Ling-Huei Tsai (Yale School of Music, class of 1998)

  • Beautiful.
