Excelsior School Anthem | Bruce Bergh

Liner notes

Written specifically for a school for K-12 in Singapore based on these instructions:

A school song needed to communicate its Mission and Vision clearly to the students.

The students’ age range is between 6-18 year old. The lyrics should be kept simple with the use of basic words to deliver the school’s main message. Song should be easy to learn and sing.

There should be a gradual increase tempo of the song. An approximate 2 minutes length would be sufficient without long pauses (i.e. lyrical parts should be in a continuous mode – short music pauses are ok)

The name of the school is ‘Excelsior’. Although the core values are stated below under ‘special requirements’ category, you need not input them inside the lyrics. It is basically to give you an idea of the school’s direction.

Most importantly the lyrical school song should revolve around the school’s Mission and Vision.
