The chimesmasters play the "Cornell Changes", affectionately known as the "Jennie McGraw Rag" to begin each day. This piece was originally requested by the first Cornell President Andrew D. White. The midday concert concludes with the "Alma Mater", and the day ends with the "Cornell Evening Song" (which shares its tune with the German carol "Tannenbaum"). These songs are not listed below because their placement is the same within each concert. Composers are listed when known.
