Meiji Daigaku no Uta

[Machine Translation] Many traditional universities have school songs and cheer songs written by Japan's leading poets and composers. In particular, Waseda, Keio, and Meiji Universities have a treasure trove of famous songs. These include the school song by Shoyo Tsubouchi and Gifu Soma (Waseda University School Song), composed by Yuji Koseki (Azure Sky), composed by Keizo Horiuchi (Young Blood), composed by Kiyoshi Nobutoki (Keio University School Song), composed by Masao Koga (Shikon no Uta), and composed by Kosaku Yamada (Meiji University School Song). This is the first CD release of these valuable recordings by male chorus members who spent their days practicing intensely in the 1950s, and it is wonderful that one can even feel the breath of their youth. Bonus tracks include a stereo recording from the 1965's, as well as special tracks featuring singing by Ichiro Fujiyama, Hisao Ito, and Noboru Kirishima. The jacket is also a reissue of the LP design from that era. Released in 1962.

伝統の大学には日本を代表する作詩家・作曲家による校歌・応援歌が多数ある。特に早稲田、慶應、明治の3大学は名曲の宝庫。坪内逍遥・相馬御風による「早稲田大学校歌」、古関裕而作曲「紺碧の空」、堀内敬三作詩作曲「若き血」、信時潔作曲「慶応義塾塾歌」、古賀政男作曲「紫紺の歌」そして山田耕筰作曲「明治大学校歌」など。昭和30年代に、猛練習に明け暮れていた、男声合唱による貴重音源、初めてのCD化となるが、青春の息吹まで感じとれるすばらしいもの。 ボーナストラックには昭和40年代のステレオ録音による名演奏、そして藤山一郎、伊藤久男、霧島 昇による歌唱も特別収録。 ジャケットも当時のLPデザインを復刻。 1962年作品。
