About the music

Created for Columbia Heights High School’s 1926–2026 Centennial by Robert Meyers-Lussier, CHHS Class of 1981. The collection grows from his five-sonnet sequence about the school’s history, its community, and the generations carrying it forward.

The four works include “Make the Years Your Own,” “Roll On, Hylanders,” “Raise the Blue and Gold,” and the instrumental suite “From First Bell to Forward March.” The suite draws on Polish, Vietnamese, and Somali musical traditions.
