Tasks / Aesthemati-Corporate Anthem
Contain your shock: the University of Aesthematics has neither an Alma Mater nor a Fight Song. Inarguably, we are a poorer community for it, but at this stage, a commissioned, traditional anthem would cast the shadow of simulacrum (or, at least, seem anachronistic). So we're ripping two pages from our Economist back issues: first, look not towards the stately secular hymns of the ivied institution, but the contemporary corporate power ballad; second, the selection of an anthem will be left to the free market - what you likes, you sings. All submissions will be linked from the U of A "About" page. Observations (neither requirements nor prohibitions): anthems are invariably very cantabile; anthems have lyrics, but these are frequently forgotten; it's not unheard-of for an anthem to borrow its tune from some other piece of music, and some corporate anthems have continued this practice (c.f. The Power of Sun, by Huey Lewis, et al). Bear in mind, when submitting proof, that the completed task page is mp3-friendly.
