Program I by Raymond M. Koehler Cui dono (Catullus 1) The hendecasyllabic beat begins, somewhere, and the students return as a chorus of thoughts, while the teacher undergoes a metamorphosis from teacher to Catullus himself. Together they figure out to whom they should dedicate the collection of poems. This a capella rendition of the dedicatory poem begins, appropriately enough, with the sound –um (hmm), and ends with a prayer, as the chorus picks out the sound of "A-(m)en" from the last line (plus uno maneAt perENne saeclo).
