"Ithaca Forever"

"Ithaca Forever," the College's current alma mater, was composed by Philip J. Lang '33, orchestrator of dozens of Broadway's best-loved musicals, including Hello Dolly, 42nd Street, and Annie. Collaborating with professional lyricist Alicia Carpenter, who has published over 150 works in education and symphonic/choral music, Lang completed the piece in 1984, two years after accepting then-president James J. Whalen's invitation to compose a song that could be used for special College occasions.
