Songs

1. Gaze at the edifice standing tall at the foot of Bukak Mountain.
See the light spreading to the hills of Anam.
The stone tower is built tall with the spirit and devotion of the people.
This is the hall of liberty, justice and truth.

2. Waves of hearts longing for liberty.
Conviction for justice. Burning devotion.
Honoring the wishes, the ideal rises high.
This is the light of liberty, justice and truth.

3. The quiet woods are the cradle of our dreams.
The wide fields are the root of our power.
The spirit held tight both by those entering and moving onward.
This is the road of liberty,
justice and truth.
Korea University,
Korea University,
hometown of my heart. Korea University,
Korea University, shine forever.

Is a masterpiece, composed by prominent Russian
composer Alexey Larin, who took around two years,
including several months spent at KU,
to compose it. Dedicated to the Korea University centennial,
the symphony was debuted by the KU Orchestra, an entirely amateur student
organization, at the Centennial Anniversary Concert of Korea University,
staged at the Seoul Arts Center on September 11, 2005. Following
the third movement with the melody of a song in praise of makgeolli,
the fourth movement of the piece, through the theme of the alma mater song composed
by Isang Yun, represents the nostalgic feelings cherished by
the KU community toward the University, the hometown of their hearts.
